Old School Pizza Tavern

A real old-school pizza place that looks like a movie set. They have a variety of dishes and they serve the best pizzas in four different sizes, which are customizable. The staff are super friendly, but the place is noisy. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Arlington.Update after a year: we went here again (total 3 people) for dinner and the food was amazing. But we were charged an extra gratuity amount almost equivalent to the rate of a pizza since the bill was generated after 8 pm, and it was mandatory to pay. Not sure if this is the same scenario everywhere else.

We love this place! The service is generally slow because we sit outside. The seating is more comfortable on the patio and it's really just a lovely patio so we don't mind the slow. :)The pizza is divine!

Great pizza!! Cheesy, buttery and delicious pizza. Reminds me of growing up in Chicago and going to Homerun Inn with my grandparents.

Friends and I would always go to old schools during our undergrad days at UTA. The pizza is the staying power here. Always loved their buffalo chicken and Mediterranean pizza. The Mediterranean pizza here remains one of my favorite pizzas. Decent beer selection. I remember this place offered Blood and Honey before the corporate takeover of the brand. It's a hole in wall vibe here and not much space. Over the years, service can be hit or miss but never negative. Definitely worth a try and a staple of Arlington.

A friend and I had dinner here before attending the Dallas Wings game. It doesn't look like much from the exterior. You enter from the rear into what is a pretty cozy layout. We wandered through looking for a hostess or staff. Once we got to the front where the bar is located, we were greeted and told that it's open seating. We reviewed the menu and placed our orders. I got the honey hot pizza and my friend got the carnivore. I must admit that the honey hot was DELICIOUS! It had the elements I love of sweet and spicy and thankfully the thin crust only helped to enhance the flavors. The carnivore was just okay. My friend ordered pan crust and I just tasted dough, cheese and meat- nothing spectacular. 1 star was removed due to us wanting cocktails and being told that certain things were out of stock. The other star is because the server returning and repeatedly making comments in jest about the entire honey hot pizza being eaten. I thought it was insensitive and tone deaf . She made the assumption that I'd eaten the entire pizza by myself which shouldn't have mattered if I had. Regardless,please keep your judgements to yourself. I'd return to try a specialty pizza but don't think I'd dine in again.

My family and I were in the downtown Arlington area and decided to stop at Old School Pizza Tavern. It was before 5pm so it wasn't very busy. We were able to choose our seats and we were promptly waited on. The waitstaff is extremely friendly. We had two servers on this visit. The first female waitress was kind enough to help us even though we caught her at the end of her shift. She handed the reins over to a gentleman that finished the job. We ordered the Maverick and the Mediterranean pizza. Both were delicious. I ordered a Caesar salad but it was just ok. The reason for the 4 stars is that I was double charged for the meal. I didn't find out until I was balancing my bank account and noticed the discrepancy. I immediately called and spoke with a manager. The error was promptly taken care of! Apparently it was an issue that they were aware of, so not much explaining on my part was needed. Outside of this, we had a great time.

Don't forget, if you go to Old School Pizza Tony may change your tip amount if he feels you didn't tip him enough.

Had the meat eaters pizza w/Pineapple w/regular crust. It was delicious. Unique setting. Set up in a very old school from the 1800. Your tables are old school desk and the place starts hoping around 6:30 pm. Left my phone in the car so I would have taken picture's. I must say though it was delicious pizza and 2 medium drinks came to $34.00. It's unreal how prices have jumped. Sticker shock, but the pizza was delicious. The servers were on top of every thing. Highly recommend! If you're in Arlington hungry for Pizza this is the place to come. You beer drinkers will love the selection of beers they offer as well. What goes better together with pizza, beer!

Was in town visiting a friend and we decided on pizza. Hit up the Yelp app and headed over. Dough was great, had a good chew and the toppings were plentiful. We got to take home 4 pieces it was so filling. The server was new but she was doing a great job.

The pizza is great as well as the atmosphere. Laid back and staff are very knowledgeable about the food as well as drinks. Very friendly will be back.
