Our specialty pizzas featured in our restaurant are inspired by an old Italian recipe.
After many episodes of trial and error, the original owner of Northlake Tavern made a bet that he could craft the best pizza in town.
So a bet was made, and the recipe for our specialty pizzas was formulated;
a recipe that we still proudly serve here today.

Located Near University Of WA
Since 1954, we’ve been a local pizza hotspot here in Seattle, Washington. Our casual atmosphere and lively sports bar have made us a fan favorite for game night fun and activities for decades. Located near the University of Washington, we love hosting Husky fans, and even stay open later on Husky game nights to keep the fun going!
Special Recipe
Our owner recalled eating a great pizza in an Italian restaurant owned by an old friend in New York. After receiving their traditional Italian recipe, he experimented with various kinds of toppings, cheeses, and crust recipes, until perfection was achieved, and the Northlake-style Pizza was born! He won the bet.
Tradition of Excellence
Since then, we have carried on the tradition of making our own special kind of pizza. We work hard everyday to make sure that each pizza ordered is a real tasty treat that you won’t forget. Our restaurant uses only the freshest and finest ingredients available, such as real Canadian bacon, Hawaiian pineapple, and freshly-grated cheeses. Plus, our pepperoni and beef sausage is specially-ground to meet our very specific standards.
Since 1954
Northlake Tavern and Pizza House opened in 1954 at a site just a block west of its present location in Seattle, Washington. With the construction of the Interstate 5 Highway bridge, Northlake had to move to a location closer to the U District, where we are still proudly serving the community as a local pub, sports bar, and pizza restaurant.
