    It's been a while since we visited Old School Pizza Tavern. We decided to visit today (3/9) . We had five in our party and we all ordered different pizzas. I ordered the Carnivore, my wife had the 8" Chicken Bacon Ranch, my brother had the 8" Mediterranean, and my son and daughter had the Alfredo Chicken and the Maverick. We all liked our pizzas. On another note, it does take time for the pizzas to be fully baked, but that should be expected. This is not a pizza chain restaurant that turns out pizza in ten minutes. We found the restaurant and restrooms were clean, and our server was friendly and helpful. We will be back. Stay hungry my friends...

    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.

    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.

    I ordered a pepperoni pizza and 6 breadsticks on Slice and got a cheese pizza and cheese bread. I waited roughly an hour.

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

    One of the local sports bars dedicated to the Cowboys, my friend mentioned this place as one of his…read morego-to spots when he was a student at UTA. 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.

    My go to place for Irish Nachos, since 1989. Come to think…read moreabout it, I think this is the only place in DFW that has Irish nachos. I had a half an order today for an early dinner, and got it with the works. Bacon bits, jalapeños, small chunks of tomato, and onions... The meal tasted as it did decades ago, only difference is I think they might've changed the cheese they use. But still great nonetheless. You have your choice of different beers, and wines to wash it down with, I chose good old-fashioned Dr Pepper. If you're ever in the Arlington area drop by, it's not every day you get to eat Irish nachos.
