We've enjoyed seeing this old house go from sandwich shop to coffee house as well as a few others that didn't last more than a month or two and now finally it's a pretty decent pizza place. It's located conviently on the north side of the university on Abram Street right next to the McDonalds. We were at Thrift Town when we were discussing where to eat and the cashier said her daughter worked there and we should go. We talked about going weeks earlier and had forgotten about it so we decided to try it out.
The parking hadn't changed. If it's busy then you might as well keep going or park at McDonalds. I don't think they like it but I doubt they will complain, still park at your own risk. If it's not too busy then parking is still interesting at best. Last time we parked between two trees out back of the place. There is live music back there on the weekends uaually local bands, a few of which are from the university. One of the bands is a Beatles cover band which I hear is pretty good.
When you go in you have to be a little careful. As mentioned it's an old house and the floors aren't always level. That being said it's a neat place to sit and eat. Aslo the chair may or may not wobble slightly, still not too bad.
We ordered a large pizza to split. The crust was thick but not deep dish and generously topped with pretty good stuff. It's been a while so I don't remember everything we had on it but we weren't disabpointed. They boast many beers on tap and if I was a beer fan I would be pretty happy. It's unusual what people get upset about though. While we were there another patron got upset that his beer request, which I had never heard of, wasn't available. The wall is only so big. Of course there's also soda and tea (for those of you out of town it's sweet tea, we're in Texas).
Even with the slightly uneven floors they keep it pretty clean and neat. Occasionally there's trash blowing by but that's everywhere in Arlington, no trash cans allowed on trash day. The building is in good repair and as far as I can tell they should be there for some time to come.
They are a little pricier than their competition but their product is a little higher quality too. They take the time to make a really nice looking and tasting pizza and it shows. i believe we got out of there for womewhere between $18-$20 for two people.
Overall I thinik this is a good place to have a pizza. Especially if you like thick crusts, I'm a total fan of this. They have other selections such as subs but for a place with pizza in the name I would suggest starting there and working your way.
