    It's a small house. Cute little bar area with a few TVs with some good sports on. A great selection of alcohol options. I had a local draft beer and it was fresh! I was able to have Monica hs my server she was very helpful! I did notice the crew needs to work on team building and team work to be more productive with service. Food was delicious. Very authentic pizza , crust was delicious.! I'm glad I had the opportunity to come check it out. Garlic bread was great, Caesar salad was on point! Can't wait to come back and try different pizzas. Also great happy hour during the whole week!

    Old School Pizza Tavern has that classic college town feel--laid-back, lively, and a great spot to grab drinks with friends. The food is honestly the star here, especially the pizza, which was amazing. The small rooms and cozy layout give it a cool ambience that makes it feel different from a typical sports bar. Good vibe overall, definitely a spot I'd come back to. Good service as well.

    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.

    Hands down my favorite pizza in Arlington! Great owner great staff amazing dough on the pizza, definitely get the regular crust. It has a great flavor that the thin crust lacks. Top-notch toppings, excellent cheese the sauce isn't too sweet. Hands-down, the best pizza you're gonna find in DFW!

    Lettuce and dressing

    I ordered a pizza and salad. I ordered the salad with a bunch of ingredients. They just delivered lettuce and dressing.

    The pot of luck shot was amazing! I did like their pizza too. Kind of tight in there since it's a small building but I love the atmosphere.

    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.

    You've heard of Tex-Mex, now welcome to Tex-Italian. Old School Pizza Tavern has the menu of an Italian restaurant with the vibes of an old Texas institution. Service was very friendly and attentive, the clientele was largely populated by UTArlington students, and the restaurant was broken up into three separate dining rooms which was somehow aesthetically pleasing. The pizza tasted great, but what was more surprising is that our flatbread, large caesar salad, and medium specialty pizza all came out to just $32. I haven't seem prices like that since the early 2000's. While there may be a couple better tasting pizza establishments in the metroplex, this one's certainly the best value.

    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.

    Crown and coke is good! Bartender rocks!

    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.

    Monica was horrible she was rude and constantly talked bad about coworkers. The food was decent but dealing with her made my time miserable.

    This is a hidden gem and I am so glad to have found my way here due to a suggestion from a bestie…read more The atmosphere is fun but relaxed with multiple screens, and the food and drinks and R&B are ON POINT. We had lemon pepper wings, hot wings and loaded fries but the catfish ( NOT Swai) looked incredible. Will definitely be back! They open at 12 so come and get your lunch on. If you feel more drinky, Happy Hour is Wed-Fri feat. $5 small plates, $5 Crown and Down, and drink specials. Thursday night is ladies' night with a DJ and free shots for the girlies! Let me just drop you the addy, it's 4508 Matlock Rd, 76018! Pull up. Oh, also, ask for our bartender Nika! She's amazing!

    Let's just get into it…read more Our server took our order and when I asked for the catfish she asked if I wanted hush puppies or toast. But she did not disclose there will be a up charge... so not sure why she asked me options that weren't included in the combo I ordered. So I had that retinal charge on the check. They have auto gratuity on all checks. Food was good for fried food. My husband enjoyed his daiquiri but it was really sweet. The atmosphere was not what I expected pretty loud for such a small spot, but my husband enjoyed the music. So I would put this almost as a lounge category rather than a traditional sports bar. Overall I don't think the amount of food was appropriate for the price. Especially the fact that those mozzarella sticks were $10 and only included 4 thats $2.50 a piece. It just wasn't my vibe, but it wasn't bad overall

After spending a Friday night here, I can see why. Drinks are cheap, there's pool and darts here, plenty of seating, comfort bar eats, friendly bartenders, and an atmosphere that screams Texas and college town. I was surprised that it wasn't as packed as I expected a college town bar to be on a Friday night. Since it was mid April, maybe there was an event or something else occurring? Anyways, no food was ordered here, just a steady stream of vodka sodas which my friend and I guzzled down. I've been told that the irish nachos are a must order as that's what this place is famous for. I'll definitely need to try those when we venture back out to this spot. Definitely a favorite amongst Arlingtonians. Despite all the cowboys memorabilia, it left a good impression on me.
