Tucked away in the UDistrict and what appears to be the ultimate dive bar is some simply delicious pizza at the Northlake Tavern. There is nothing trendy about the Northlake Tavern rather that hometown feel with red checkered plastic table clothes, wood paneling and no windows. Upon entrance one might think bad bar food, think again. Huge pizzas adorned with toppings galore. A thick chewy crust, but not undercooked as many pizza places tend to do. The perfect amount of sauce and fresh ingredients. After two slices I was stuffed. They have a decent beer selection on tap including some local micro brews. Northlake is the type of place you would go with friends on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, kick back with a couple (or more) beers, eat good pizza and have fun.
