The pizza and the service were great at this little pizza place just outside of the entrance to Yosemite. We stayed at the Blue Butterfly Inn tucked away on the river behind the property of the more expansive lodge. Nice to have the option of bringing pizza back to the Inn to eat or eat at Parkside, which we did. It's pretty unassuming, which we liked: you stand in line to order a pizza, find a table to sit at, and they bring it to you. The line was long, but the pizza came out quickly, and the service is attentive and friendly - well worth waiting in line! The crust was cooked just right and the ingredients were fresh and tasty.

I told them their signage says otherwise and they should change it (literally the flyer on the front desk and on the door to the place). Friday rolls around and we try to go again. Place is dark. We ask the front desk, and this time they say it’s open Saturday - Thursday depending on the occupancy level of the lodge. If you’re closed for the season, just say so. Don’t give your guests the run around and ruin their...
