What Ed Norton doesn't like about Northlake Tavern & Pizza House:
This review is written 1/11/23. This place announced it is closing the end of this month. It’s void reputation far exceeded today’s experience. People were left standing at the entrance for 30+ minutes even though there were 8 empty tables in the back. The waitress was indifferent to this situation. The pizza arrived eventually and was warmish, not hot. Not worth the price. The male waiter did his best to salvage the... View all feedback. What Jon N likes about Northlake Tavern & Pizza House:
Northlake was an absolute landmark of the University District beginning in 1954. My youngest son I had the privilege of driving up from the Portland area to bid farewell to the Northlake. We went on Friday January 27. They closed for good on January 31.As a UW student then a Seattle resident until 1995, this was like going to a memorial service for a best friend. In fact one of my best friends who died too early was... View all feedback.

Fair well to an old favorite. After enjoying Northlake Tavern for more than 40 years they tell us they are closing at the end of the month. Get your Northlake f...

Northlake Tavern, a beloved restaurant in the University District since 1954, sadly closed its doors at the end of January 2023. Despite some inconsistencies in service, such as long wait times and confusion about operating hours, the pizza was still considered world-class and one of a kind. The friendly staff, huge portions, and delicious vegetarian options left a lasting impression on many customers. As patrons bid farewell to this Seattle institution, they reminisced about the good times and memories shared at Northlake Tavern, grateful for the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere it provided over the decades.

I've eaten here about 10 times now, sometimes dine-in, but mostly take-out.

We like to stop here on our trips between Home and Seattle Convenient to I-5 Good pizza (not low-cal!) and a pretty good beer selection.

Your hours are not updated : They close now at 7:00 and are just sitting, no take-out, Fyi if you try to get a Northlake fix before they close. Still.
