Northlake Tavern & Pizza House

Very sad to write this! My FAVORITE PIZZA from everywhere is ever closed! I've been here for 32 years! I'm with my 18-year-old...

Well, everyone in the world must now know that Northlake Tavern Pizza is coming to an end. It was yesterday evening on a Tuesday night of the massive crowd...

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.

They are closed as of 1/31/2023 and we are sad. We tried to get in for one last pizza during their last two weeks and weren't successful. On our first try, we went on a Monday, only to find out they weren't open on Mondays. On our second (and last) try, we arrived at 3:20 pm. After standing on line, we finally made it in the front door at 5:00 pm. At 5:20 pm, with two groups still in front of us, they announced that they were closed, with a 2 hour backlog of orders, and since the posted closing time was 7:00 pm. Oh well, lots of memories of eating here in the past. Another Seattle-area institution is gone.

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 a Northlake devotee. So we toasted Mike Farrow with our first bites.The pizza was still world class and one of a kind.You'll be missed Northlake!
