The Dogwood Café

Recently featured in our local pizza crawl, the Dogwood Café offers burgers, quirky salads, pastas, and more in addition to its cheesy pies.

Pictured: The Willow Pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, garlic, caramelized onions and spinach ($11.99 individual; $16.99 large).

In the area: The café is located near the vast, breath-taking Arnold Arboretum — the pizzas are named after trees found there. Perfect for an educational dining experience, right?
