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, Northlake Tavern & Pizza House usually has an average rating of 4.3.

We went during their last month in business. The 4 hour wait was a bit much but I suspect it was due to years ' worth of customers coming by for just one more N...
