The Scene
Everywhere you look, there's UW memorabilia: pictures of the rowing teams here, an old jersey there. There are other items on the menu, but the kitchen is really dedicated to pizzas. Pies are available in three sizes, with a gourmet variety of toppings including artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. A small pizza will easily fill two people, and four people might bite off more than they can chew with the large.

I'm not a big pizza fan to begin with, but you don't need to be a pizza connoisseur to instantly realize this pizza is all wrong. The crust is the real problem with this pizza-it tastes frozen and reminds me of the pizza dough my mom used to make us as kids back in the 80's. That wouldn't be too suprising, considering the menus & decor look like they haven't changed since the 80's either. Judging by the somewhat obese nature of most of the patrons, I'd say the amount (not quality) of toppings is the real draw here. Having said all that, It would still be a good place to go watch a game and have a few beers. The service was excellent and the place has an overall good vibe.

Ok, it's a pretty unique pizza experience, you love it or you hate it. If you like a BIG taste-explosion pizza loaded with toppings, a couple slices fill you up with leftovers for breakfast, relaxed tavern atmosphere, good location, the Northlake is for you. If you're worried you'll get sauce on your hands, prefer New York toast waxed with tomato paste, frozen pizza, or Chuck E Cheese atmosphere you'll be disappointed. I've been eating there for 20 years plus and it's always better than good. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's hopping, hey, it's a tavern not a tea house. I usually don't care for olives but we always order the combination, including sausage and ground olives, which is a perfect balance. So if you want to try a Seattle institution come on down, if you're not adventuresome you'd better stick to Dennys.

Always great pizza with a ton of toppings!! One slice is a meal. They could double in size and still not have enough room!! Prices are competitive for what you get.
