Dicey's Pizza & Tavern - Review - Wedgewood-Houston - Nashville - The Infatuation

South Nashville needed a pizza spot that wasn’t just another bougie, wood-fired joint, and Dicey’s answered the neighborhood’s prayers. They serve crispy, thin-crust pizzas in a fun space—the ’70s-styled dining room/patio hybrid is a really comfy place to chat with friends over a pie. The specialty pizzas are worth your attention, especially the Peppy Boy with hot honey and calabrian chili oil, and the lunch-only sandwiches are well-stuffed, should you not be feeling pizza. You can sip everything from a PBR to natural wine, but we really love the Lemon Freezee, Dicey’s delicious take on a boozy Italian Ice. - Bailey Freeman
