Great food. If your looking for something different, easy and kinda funky this is it. The food was 10/10. The atmosphere was just cool. They care about there business always adding and changing things up to make it the best. Eat local! I’ll be back.
Thankfully the Pizza is still as great as ever. But the service has declined rapidly. When dining in expect the food in 45-1hr. We dined in and noticed several of the staff hanging around the bar area and not tending guests. One of the guests had to come inside and ask for a server to go outside to take their order. The second time we called to place an order, 30 min wait time for order to be ready, showed up 30 minutes later and had to wait an additional 25 minutes as the pizza wasn’t ready yet. Disappointing that the great service they used to have has now declined.
Omg!!!!! Crystal is awesome!!! She is friendly and down to earth. Did I mention she can make a drink. She is always smiling. The main reason I keep coming back. Plus the pizza is the bomb!! They put the toppings first and the cheese on top!!! The only way to make a pizza.
I had often wondered what this place was like and decided to find out. My pizza was larger than I ordered but I wasnt charged more so that was a nice bonus. The waitress was cheerful and timely and the Maverick Supreme and Spicy Lemon Pepper wings were as good as any Ive had.
This was my first time visiting Old School even though Ive attended UTA for five years now. I regret not coming sooner. They do personal pizzas of their specialties and the cheese bread was awesome. I ordered the carnivore pizza and was delighted with the taste. Emily, our waitress was great and made conversation and jokes with the my group and I. I can see return trips in the future with how tasty it was. Also they have Stewarts root beer on tap, which is my favorite root beer. So thats a positive.
Awesome place! Very homely and cute. Near to UTA and great for students and local residents!Now doing Nice breakfast in the mornings! Ask for miss Olivia! Breakfast tacos on Mondays
The food was excellent. Did have to get up to ask for drink refills, but still the pizza and sandwiches were tasty!
THEY HAVE THE BEST TASTING PIZZA IN ARLINGTON TEXAS NO ONE CANT BEAT THEM IT IS SO HOT AND DELICIOUS AND PERFECT YOU NEED TO TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF 💯💯💯💯👌👈
Disappointed... They got our order wrong and was late to deliver. Couldnt refund any money because the owner had left. Amazingly their online ordering system which sends us a confirmation email did not have our email address so they could give us confirmation of a pizza or partial refund in the future. Pizza is tasty although not right...so far not impressed.RE: I was told last night that the owner would call me and no call yet. Also the ordering site did not make the pizza wrong.
Just by chance stopped in after a long day of work while away from home. Pizza was delicious. Tons of cheese, great toppings and red sauce was perfect. The beer available also works well with pizza style fare. Would definitely go again! Tons of leftovers for one!
Weve been a few times recently and Im torn. The food is absolutely fantastic but the service and ticket times are pretty poor. Unfortunately tonight we waited over an hour and had to ask for our order to-go. I almost felt bad once I got home because our order was amazing but we did have to wait an hour to get it. Mixed bag here unfortunately. Maybe the experience will be more consistently positive if we order takeout or delivery next time and skip eating there.
The perfect little pizza joint! Cold beer, great atmosphere, **DELICIOUS** pizza! And look, Im picky about my pizza. Dujuan was so friendly & had great recommendations. Will absolutely make a point to come here again.
The food was good. We had the chicken Alfredo pasta, chicken pesto pasta, the maverick pizza, and CBR pizza. They were all ok. Full of cheese!! The service was pleasant and quick. Have patience they are short staffed. The personal pizza and pastas were more than filling for one person. We all had leftovers.
The pizza was so delicious! This is a medium pepperoni pizza & 8 inche cheese bread. The reason for the 4 stars is that the cheese bread was not that good Id skip it next time my total was about $18 over all I loved it.
Amazing pizzas I never taught chicken pizzas tasted so good. The once they make are out of the world! Custom made pizzas are good an average of 12$ per pizza.Look out for offers on the black boards. They have tons of offers going on.They give student discount so carry your student ID if you are a student.
Update! Been going here for 3 years, every now and then they will have a 4 start day, but most of the time its 5 stars. Lots of cheese and plenty of toppings.We got the BBQ chicken pizza, original crust. So delicious! I definitely recommend. The chicken and cheese have excellent flavor, the crust is delicious too. add some BBQ sauce and its a party in my mouth!
This is a great little place, and if you like family friendly karaoke, come Thursday night 7 until 10. The prices are great, food is delicious it isnt too crowded, and the service is very good. You wont be disappointed.
The food is good and you priced fair, but dont expect service if you go at lunch during the week. We had a party of 7 one day last week and they had one waitress and one bartender for the whole place. We were not the only ones there and our poor waitress had to take care of everybody and the dozen other customers in there that day.
Great pizza as always. We live in Plano but always make a trek every once in awhile to get some za. Great atmosphere. And also screw tech supportUpdate 4/22: comped cheese bread because I miscommunicated over the phone and got mozzarella sticks instead. Again, great service as always and again, screw tech support
This place used to be very VERY good. Tonight, our waitress literally forgot about us after not bringing our drink order. Took an hour to just get waters. The appitizers and pizza came out at the same time. The food (an entire 18 inch pizza and mottzerella sticks) was severly undercooked. Will probably taste good after cooking more in my air fyer. The crust is completely different... This place used to be great, but has it gone down hill? I really think so. The old Old School is dead :(
The place looks very nice and the staff are very friendly. I went there because of the reviews, maybe my expectations were to high and not given them a chance. However, they took longer than the time they told me, once they gave me the order they were missing the calzone I had order. When I got home and took a bite of the wings I order I realized they werent cooked.😒 the pizza was good but not what I was expecting. Like I said maybe my expectations were to high.
I had a HORRIBLE experience. I ordered a vegetarian pizza with a 11pc wing. The vegetarian pizza had no veggies on it, maybe 1 tomato and a olive.. it had NO FLAVOR and the cheese was hard and gooey like school cheese. I also paid extra for ranch and didn’t receive any!!! 0/10 for this place
The pizza is so good! So much cheese you can barely see the toppings 😋 only downside inside seating is limited but there is lots of outside seating available
Best pizza by far in Arlington. We enjoy the food and drinks every week. Today even with the power and water issues they prepared our pizzas very quickly. Well baked and full of toppings. The drinks are so awesome, especially the Moscow mule. All the staff is so friendly and professional. You guys rock!
I love this place! The pizza is amazing, well priced beer and specials, university vibes, and friendly crew make it a great place to eat and chill.
I ordered the garlic parmesan wings, and am in love! My taco pizza was a little spicy, but may try it again in the future with no jalapeños.
Oh my this pizza was amazing. It was so cheesy and the pepperoni had a bit to it oh my my this place has quickly become my favorite pizza joint ever.
I loved this place! I had an individual sized pepperoni pizza and man it was good. They put the toppings first and then comes the cheese. So much cheese it covers the toppings. MmmmThere is always some sort of specials going on daily. The food prices are very reasonable and the happy hour will definitely make your pocket happy. I would have given it a 5 rating but it was not because of the food or service. The decor is a bit busy and all the drink specials were on various black boards, but understandable being so close to a college.
Best pizza I’ve had and the service was perfect with a group of 14! Would definitely recommend.
The rave reviews was right about this restaurant. Pizza was delicious,you can actually taste the ingredients unlike some pizza chains. Customer service was excellent,I will recommend this place!
First time, great service, great food. Good beer list, our waitress was amazing- planning our next visit
Google maps recommended this to me said it would be a 100%match to my tastes based on how i rated other pizza places and they were correct. Maverick Pizza was great! Sweet tea tasted terrible couldve just been old but the lemonade i got to replace it was good.
Very good pizza, kids really enjoyed. I ordered for carry out but the bar seemed to be a good spot for a drink as well.
Share reviewEmbed reviewWrite an updateEdit review8/21/2020If I could give this place negative stars I would. I was really looking forward to some quality pizza, but received the complete opposite. I got a togo order and what I got was horrendous. The pizza was burnt to a crisp and the pizza box was more appetizing than the actual pizza. I called to complain and try to get another pizza and was told a manager wasnt coming in till Monday... I got the pizza Friday. I was then hung up on. I will not be back.
I gave this place 5 stars since Ive been going here for the last 4 years. But now things have changed. I ordered an Alfredo chicken pizza sometime ago and it came without chicken. I gave them the benefit of doubt and assumed they were busy. Today I ordered the same pizza and noticed 2 types of chicken in it. One was the regular white chicken and the other looked darker as if cooked separately. The latter tasted as if it was rotten. Threw the entire pizza after eating just one slice. I would say its time to move on from this place. Sad to see something good turn into what it is now.Edit: Read the owner response to my review. It is clear that the person theyre talking about is not me. I never took the pizza back. I live 25 miles away and since it was a take out order, I got to know the issue after reaching home. Anyway, thank you for the information on the two types of chicken. Have a good one :)
The owners are fun. The staff is awesome. They have a lot of energy here, not to mention the cold beer...
1st time to visit was today. Nice, quaint place. Food is good, drinks were awesome. Just need to add some heavy metal music to the mix every once in a while. After a response from the owner I do have to apologize I did not know that there was a jukebox in there I thought the music was being piped in so next time I do come I will definitely place some heavy metal on the jukebox. 😊
The pizza here is amazing. It reminds me of a place I used to go as a kid after soccer games on Saturdays. Besides the nostalgia, the pizza is just delicious. Seating is a bit limited inside, but theres a nice covered area outside.
It really has the old school vibe having UTA relics with the restaurants vibe. Server was really helpful as well. We ordered Spicy Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was tasty for a few slices then it was too usual for me. Will definitely go again to try some more.
The food is regularly fresh and delicious, workers hands over awesome customer service.The pizza and wings are delicious. I bought my grandchildren,they really enjoyed the food. Best pizza place .I recommended to all!!
Considering that I walked in for an order, they were quick. It took a little more time for me as I ordered their chicken wings, which I highly recommend. Better than average size, tasty.
Great little bar and pizza tavern. The pizza was an easy 10 on my rate your local pizza ratings book, and the crew holding this fabulous food and booze from exploding out and into the street is quite fabulous and fun as well. I didnt have a chance to take a pic since I was ramming slices down my pie hole so fast I had to administer myself CPR. When I woke from my drunken pizza coma, there was nothing but pizza sauce smears on the carpet and my face. Bring your favorite difib device and make some new friends. Great place to get your weekend started.
The food is amazing the waitresses were fantastic overall 5 out of 5 definitely recommended
I really like coming here and grabbing a beer, nice environment, cozy. Drinks are cheap-average too. I just wish it was a bit more vegan friendly food wise, mainly the bread sticks. Sometimes it seems they can be had without butter, other times they cant(apparently sometimes they have pre buttered ones). Pizza always can though and they have no problems taking off the cheese, the pizzas are great.
Delicious pizza and wings. Friendly service. No complaints
I have blacklisted this location from my DoorDash and UberEats deliveries.There is zero excuse for me to be standing there staring at 3, THREE, employees but they refuse to make eye contact.Then, the the very second another guy walks in, stands next to me,, immediately oh hello do you have order? Whats the name! Ill go check!!Ive been just standing, occasionally saying excuse me (I was brushed off, hold on a minute), for literally 15 minutes. During a time there were zero new customers to wait on.Go figure, after I finally got the woman to check for my order, it was READY and WRONG. Supposed to be half pepperoni, so the customer refunded it and wasted my time.////My friend went to pick up an order a few days later and had a very disrespectful experience. A truck was blocking the entrance, so my friend brought that to staff attention.The cashier was passively annoyed by him kindly bringing attention to this issue, well we need the beer, youre just one doordash orderThe truck is blocking the entrance for EVERYONE not just dashers. Lose the attitude, we literally BUY AS CUSTOMERS TOO. But never again til I hear new employees.
Want pizza and booze? This is the place. The best atmosphere. Staff is amazing from the people who are always there to the new guy.
Traveling from California to the east coast, googled for a unique eatery and we found Old School Pizza Tavern - so happy that we found this place. Definitely not scrimping on the toppings! We will be back the next time we are thru the area 😁
The waitress was great the food was good the drinks were awesome the waitress was nice polite and helpful and suggest different drinks and we had each one of them hey were good
Pizza was not what we ordered at all, we came expecting it to be great because of the rating but the review and rating is so misleading plus the Mozzarella stick was hard and looked very undercooked. I wouldnt come here
The pizza here is amazing even though the wait times can be ridiculous. Our server miya made the experience way better and they need more people like her!
The pizzas and pastas are above average here. The place seems a little conjested, but is just enough if you are not looking for a comfort dining.They have a good range of quality beers, both bottle and draft.
The bread sticks were alright. The cherry pizza was cherry pie filling on pizza crust. I wish they would add something to it to give it a flair if their own. Maybe cinnamon and sugar on top. Or some orange bitters mixed with the pie filling before baking.I will be back to try one of their taco pizzas.
Best Pizza place in all of Texas! If you havent had you havent lived! Most comfortable eating place with flat screens for your sports, a bar if you wanna drink, and the best pizza you ever had in your life. The pictures I took are of my bacon pineapple alfredo medium pizza. As you can see they dont skimp on toppings or cheese. They pile it on heavy and delicious!!! A must try, believe me.!!!
Pizza was a little under cooked and not at the right temp for pizza. They should call this place a drink cavern not pizza cavern because the drinks were good
Out late in Arlington and looking for someplace to eat but not feeling the usual fast food joints then Old School Pizza and Subs is the place to be. Great Service and Great Food. Came here after a late Rangers game and had one of the best slices of Pizza. Definitely will be back next time Im in town.
Weve always loved this place and would even drive an hour for the pizza but today was really an eye opener for us not only did the pizza come without sauce but the guy who claimed to be manager Roger had an terrible attitude about the whole issue. I wont go into all the details but he was not professional about it and even hung up in our face😐 needless to say the one hour drive will be spent else where. Thanks Roger your a class act not really but what i really feel is too inappropriate to post.
As always the food is delicious even a day later when I warm it up, still delicious. This is my favorite place to go for pizza. I only wish that they had coupons because its a bit on the expensive side so I only go once in a blue moon. I would go more often if they offered coupons because I love their flavor.
This is pizza real pizza 🤤I wanted the best pizza n I found it 😎🤩😋 the small 12 weigh like 5 lbs the flavors 🤤🤤🤤🤤🏆
Awesome food at really good price .. personal recommendation- pizza(meatloaf, bbq chkn) , cheese bread , deserts, Alfredo pasta. Cheese overload in each item (heaven for cheese buffs)
Great food, fun staff, quick service!Tasty meatball-jalapeño calzone and meatball subs! Ema was great, friendly and attentive.Thank you!
Seriously amazing pizza and service. This is a great place to relax and have fun while pigging out. The atmosphere is so chill I love coming here.
Every time that I have been here, I have received exceptional service and the food is always good. Thanks to all the servers who work there!

2022-07-21Bottom line: Good vibe, good pizza, good price, and nice folks.Dropped in for pizza not knowing the place. Its a small house turned into a tavern that serves really good pizza. Kids were allowed and there were a few tables/ rooms with kids in them.Got two pies (pepperoni thin and Mediterranean hand tossed). Both were fresh and tasty.The person serving us was very polite and friendly.Do not make a mistake this place is a bar. I could easily see myself watching some soccer and putting back a few with friends.The 5 star is for the overall experience. The place itself has some usual bar type wear and tear.

2022-06-15First timer here, and it was some of the best Ive had in a while! Prices are super reasonable, and pizza was out to our table pretty quickly on a Saturday evening. The cheese pizza, barbecue chickenpizza , Taco pizza, and breadsticks were all mouth-watering, and I cant wait to try more!

2021-10-06New owners Olivia and Patrick are the best host ever. And the place is great. We stopped by for a coffee and sweet potato pie. And they are dog friendly which is amazing. I even brought my pups in. Come check it out, as it’s the best place to hang out in Arlington.

2021-11-02Got a pint and a beer for $10 it was delicious and I couldnt finish the pizza so I had left overs too. The waitresses and employers were all very friendly and fun! Id definitely recommend this place for a good chill spot.

2021-11-07My wife and I arrived in the area for a Cowboys game. We were looking for a chill spot to have a pizza and drink a beer. Prior to arriving We were at the mall and I asked 3 police officers who had the best Pizza in the area. The 3 officers immediately mentioned OLD SCHOOL. My wife and I arrived at the restaurant and the waitresses were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. We ordered a large Pizza and I must say it was one of the best pizzas that my wife and I have had in a while. I highly recommend this place.

2022-07-13I always passed by this place and finally decided to try it and maaaaaan has my family and I been missing out. This little pizza place has such a cool environment I cant wait until I have my baby so I can go back to have a drink and enjoy the rest of the place. We got a large pepperoni & bacon pizza, cheesy bread that was to die for the THE BEST EFFING WINGS that made my pregnancy cravings complete. I love how there was the perfect amount of sauce-topping ration and it was all under the cheese! Very interesting and the sauce had such a great taste. The wings were a generous size with lots of meat, and very juicy. I live a cross town so its a drive for me, but Im definitely making the drive next time I was pizza or wings. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!

2022-02-24Escape that cold snap and head into Old School Pizza Tavern. Great atmosphere and amazing staff! I have would definitely recommend the green leprechaun, a new seasonal cocktail that pairs well with any pizza of your choice. Custom made by our amazing waitress named Natalie.
