Service was amazing! Had Maddy as my server and she was so attentive and helpful! Would come again :)

Cool concept just a bit outdated. The place reminded me of diversions game room. It has a bunch of arcade games and game counsels such as Nintendo/Xbox. We ordered a combo meal deal they had on the menu. It came with a large pizza, cheese sticks, fries/onion rings and 15 wings. The pizza and wings were better than we expected. The wings were just the right amount of crisp and very flavorful. Props to our server. He did great given that our party was large and assisted us mostly himself. He was never rude and attended to whatever we needed. Check in on Yelp and receive a free dessert. read more

Great service from our server Imbri and good food, wish they'd bring back the Alfredo pizza though .

Super friendly employees. Awesome themed drinks. Tons of classic consoles and emulators in addition to traditional arcade games. And best of all - THEY HAVE AN OLDSCHOOL DDR MACHINE! Super chill ambiance. I will absolutely be back here! This place is truly a hidden gem in the vast, vapid wasteland that is Arlington. read more

I love this place, the food is Great, and the service and hospitality is greater. Family friendly and the games are nice and fun touch with a lot of early years arcade games which is fun for the older folks who lived thru it and those youngins who never have. It's great place to go for less expensive day out with family. They also have HAPPY HOUR 6-9 on their margaritas, draft beers, and wine!! Served right to you and brought straight from their full bar within the arcade. It shares space with the improv comedy club giving it great open space and ambience for good vibes and fun read more

We came for their $10 all-day play in their arcade - we did not try the food. Parking was easy to find right up front, and we were greeted and given wristbands. Strangely enough, the wristbands said Sunday when we were playing on a Monday. My husband was already pretty familiar with most of the arcade games, but my favorites were Astroid and Crazy Taxi. There are lots of collaboration games, probably more than single-player games, which is great. Yes, the games are pretty grimy and germy, but we washed our hands before we left. Bathroom was super nice. They also have some regular consoles, like PlayStation 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox, etc. On the PS5 we played Fall Guys, which was silly and fun. I also enjoyed their rhythm arcade game, but it was all in Japanese, no English. I would definitely come back in the middle of the day while the kiddos are still in school. We played for about 2 hours, 3-5 pm, and before we left some loud kids came in to play Xbox; the parents didn't care how wreckless they were, throwing around controllers, and the staff did nothing either. Overall, we had fun when we were alone. Their website says they have up to 100 different games, arcade and console, but some were buggy or the controls were non-responsive. read more

I've been seeing this place on Facebook and decided to check it out.Unfortunately I was a little disappointed.It's a cool little place but just doesn't have a quarter of the games then the other place I frequent.Not to mention there are no pinball machines at all.I will say the pizza and some of the other food looked pretty good.I might come back another time to try out their pizza.But other then that I'll probably head back to my usual place. read more

Food was okay, but games don't have a wide variety, more of the older games, but really fun.

Came here for my sons 10th birthday. Kids were upset we didn't go to check e cheese at first but grew on this place. Good food with good games. Pizza was large and cheese stick and onion rings were right on the spot. Was not a fan of their wings. The chicken didn't taste right and the bone was broken inside. Would get everything else again though. read more

Good is not great. More like all the other kids video game restaurants like Chucky Cheese. The video games are decent but many are not working or turned off. The service is pretty slow and they have cleaned our table off when we were not done eating and drinking but still playing. It's a decent place but the food is pretty pricey for what it is. read more

Came here love it played fortnight and played dk eat pizza love it here 10/10 all games work for free 10$

Service was great, but the food and games are subpar to other options in the DFW area. They make their own pizza dough, so they say but it didn't taste very good and reminded me of the elementary school square pizzas. The wing sauce was good but I prefer boneless which wasnt an option. They serve RC cola products, and their unsweetened tea is the sweetest "unsweet" tea I've ever tasted, the waitress stated shes heard that a lot. The games pale in comparison to Cidercade, a very small space. It was ok at best but wouldn't be a first choice by far for a night out. It lacked a wow factor. read more

Pretty good place! They have fast service, and the Beer and Mozzarella Sticks were good! We got a pepperoni pizza, and it was really greasy. But if you don't mind, then definitely give the pizza a try! read more

The wings are so good. My classmates and I enjoy this place so much. My wife even ask when am I going back because she loves the Sweet Thai chili and Lemon Pepper. read more

Fun little vibe. Unlimited games for $10. Pizza was pretty good. Would definitely recommend for a small friend gathering

Arcade was pretty bad. Poor selection of games and not well maintained. Definitely better options around

First off when we walked in it took the server 5 mins to even come over to ask us for drinks while they were sitting at the counter when we walked in. 2nd off we got our drinks and the apps came out within minutes... kinda weird ok... decided to dig in.. they ended up being cold... how is fried food cold??? Then they took them back reheated them and brought the same ones out. 3rd our pizza was uncooked and doughy... 4th 1/4 of the games are not in working order... the joysticks are alll abused and don't work correctly... and 5th when asked to take the cowboy bites of the bill he said he really couldn't cause they reheated them and brought them back out... sorry but this was one of the worst all around restaurant I've been to in a long time... caught our server eating food multiple times in between bring our food out and drinks!!! read more

Busted up games, half of which don't work, staff is glued to their phones, and literally everything is sticky. 0/10.

My husband and I decided to try a new place in The Highlands. We were originally going somewhere else but spotted Blackdog Pizza. We ordered the honey bbq wings and the hand-tossed supreme pizza. The wings were hot from the hopper and crispy yet tender inside. The bbq sauce was very complimentary to their ranch dressing. The supreme pizzas was so fresh and the dough was soft as pillows!!! I'm a tender dough/meat person. I recommend Blackdog Pizza and the location isn't bad also. It's right next to The Improv. read more

Black Dog Retro Arcade - Bar - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I've visited Black Dog twice, the second time was 2 months later and with a free pass (or else most likely wouldn't have returned). Their food is good for what it is. Being an arcade, the games are meant to be the big draw. The selection of cabinets is on the small side, which could be excused if it felt like the games were being maintained. Many (probably close to half) of the cabinets have faulty joysticks, buttons that don't work, light guns that aren't calibrated, and at least 2 games that are totally out of order. None of the issues from my first visit had been fixed on my second, and their cabinet for Afterburner Climax had gone from a broken joystick button to a non-working cabinet. I would be happy to return if the game inventory could be fixed and/or updated, as the place is closer to home, doesn't draw the crowds of places like Cidercade and Freeplay, and has ample parking. read more

First I wanted to give this place a great review because my kids were so excited to go but we were disappointed with the food and service! I don't think I've ever seen so much flies INSIDE a closed environment to eat!! food was so greasy and one of my chicken wings was raw. when I asked to get another one they were so rude about it. Also when I told them about the flies they just brushed it off like it was nothing. ok so besides that the kids were playing the games (most of them were out of order) when my daughter tried to play a board game that they had with a stack of other board games and they told they were off limits mind she's 15 so she can obviously take good care them But then I seen another family go and pick one and they were playing the game just fine with no one telling them anything?? could it be a racial? since we are hispanic... idk but the service and food was terrible never again!! read more

After a little hiatus I've tried the pizza again! They actually came up to my job and passed out free samples and coupons. They now make most of the dressings in house and let me tell you (you guys know I love ranch!) Its famazing! I just wanna drink it. I don't even like bleu cheese dressing but the chef Ted makes an amazingly smooth version that is absolutely jammin. The traditional is very new yorky- with the chewy inside and perfectly crusty bottom. They import the yeast from Italy and the cheese is legit buffalo mozzarella. You must stop in and try it! read more

Just visited today with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed our experience here! Liked the concept of 10$ admission for unlimited games, wish more places did this. A lot of classic arcade games available alongside with some modern consoles I didn't really play. Had Guitar Hero, Galaga, Crazy Taxi, Street Fighter, DDR, and Pac-Man to name a few. Will definitely be coming back; think it's a cool place to bring kids too (though they may prefer more modern games, just depends on them). It's nice being able to finally beat those arcade games that generally empty out your wallet trying to finish since you die so easily (Time Crisis). Also had two pizzas - meat lovers and supreme equivalent but with arcade names. They had some board games available as well if you wanted to take a break from the arcade. All in all a cool place and wish it had more people visiting it as it didn't have a ton of people there. Note that I believe you do have to pay for admission even if you don't want to play games and just want to eat/drink. Saw a lot of people turned away because of this (my theory at least, didn't ask for details) read more

I love the pizza here. Crust and cheese are hella good. Not sure if fried raviolis are frozen or handmade then. Whichever, they are hella good! Waitstaff can be hit or miss. O'well, isn't that everywhere? read more

We ordered nachos that look like there was actual dog food on it for the chicken. Don't trust them.

Okay, where to start... Before even entering this restraunt I called about 3 times (nobody picked up the phone) bc my boyfriend & I couldn't find the restraunt.. But no worries, we found it.. No thanks to the workers. When we got in, there was only like 4 tables occupied yet it took forever for the waiters to get to us. They forgot to bring out my boyfriends salad.. & they also forgot one of his main courses! (He ordered the black dog tour & they forgot to put spaghetti on his chicken) anyways, hard to believe since there was barley anyone there. But all in all, the waiters were pretty friendly & the food was actually pretty great! Just had a few mishaps. read more

Eh. Here on a Saturday night. Not busy. After placing our order, my daughter's wings come out so tough and hard she can't eat them. Then none of the other entrees come out. So I asked the waitress about the rest of the food and was told they are having computer issues. This is a pet peeve. Don't wait until your customers are asking about their food to tell them there's a problem. My bruschetta came out so soggy it was inedible. Both my kids ended up eating off one pasta dish. I ate nothing. Will never be back. read more

Nice roomy dining area. With the improv entrance inside. Our waitress was nice. She even added cherry flavor to my Dr Pepper. That's something I will start drinking. Pizza was fresh. Wish there was more toppings. Fettuccine Alfredo pasta was good too. Clean, fast service with a welcoming smile. Loved my brownie sundae too! read more

Black Dog Pizza just opened in the Arlington Highlands complex. I was on my way to a good but not exciting meal at Black Eyed Pea's newest location and saw the grand opening banner. I changed my mind. Bottom line: the pizza is delicious. They have all the styles you'd expect - regular and thin, and a plethora of ingredients to choose from. They've also got some other options like BBQ chicken pizza and it was truly fantastic. The chef came out to see how I liked it and we talked pizza for awhile. They make the dough on the spot using a sourdough blend. It crispy, light, and wonderfully delicious. There's quite a few other menu options as well like baked meatball subs and wings and a brownie sundae or NY style cheesecake for dessert. I sat at the expansive full bar. Beer on tap included Dos Equis, Guiness, Miller light, and heineken. There were at least half a dozen huge TVs going and a sound system you could host a rock concert with. You can see it to the right of the front door. The place was quiet when I was there but I could tell it had the potential for a hell of a party atmosphere. I will be back. read more

I can't eat pizza without comparing it to Black Dog pizza, there is truly no other pizza place out there that can make a BBQ chicken pizza like they can! The Chicken Parmesan is pretty dang good too. Definitely try it if you are in the area...and don't forget to use your Yelp check in offer and get your FREE appetizer!! read more

Ehh, this place is alright. Maybe it's my bias against pizza, but I just don't feel there's anything special here that would draw me back. I can honestly get better pizza at Mr. Jim's. We came here for a reunion of about 15-20 guys, and they were pretty accommodating. It's connected to the comedy show next door, so don't be surprised if all the other doors are locked. Just enter through there. The place itself is dark with dim lighting. No one was there when we were. Not a single soul. Well, besides the workers of course. Anyways, we got 2 large pepperonis and a meat lovers. Like I said before, nothing really special. The pizza was actually pretty greasy...I had one piece of each and was done. I also ordered a cranberry vodka, which tasted really watered down. The saving grace was the cheese bread we had before the pizza. Soft and toasty, marrying well with the melted, creamy cheese on top. Would I go here again? Probably not. read more

Ok i don't know if those other reviews were writen by the people who work here but... Terrible!!!! I ordered a personal pizza , pepperoni , jalapeños and pineapple . What could possibly go wrong right? Wrong everything was wrong . 6 small slices consisting of 5 mediocrely cut pineapples , 4 odd shapped pepperoni , and not to for get 5 slices of jalapeños. Really? And on top of that a sloppy cheese layer that could not even stay on the crust the second I picked up for a bite it fell apart on my plate . Also my child's food was all from the frozen food section . All terrible tasting as well as bland . Just a terrible place for the money your better off going to CICIS PIZZA, at least they have better tasting pizza with consistency that would make black dog look like a kitchen for a Chucky e cheeze. Stay away !!!!! read more

Black Dog is pretty good but I wouldnt really call it a pizza place, honestly. I mean, they have pizza...but it's pretty standard stuff and every other section of the menu has as many or more choices. I will say that the prices were very reasonable. A pretty fricking big veggie was like $15. Not super duper cheap, but not too painful. Large salads $8ish or + a few bucks to add chicken. Sammiches and burgers with fries for about the same. Really tasty toasted raviolis on the appetizer menu are fully worth the $7 or so. So you see where the price point lands. Service was very earnest and friendly. Maybe a few too many 'darlin's from a kid young enough to be my kid and who didn't appear to speak any other Southern ...but he was trying hard, and that always counts in my book. I think its strength is probably as a pretty good sports bar, to tell the truth. Yikes, that is a LOT of screens! The decor is the Highlands' special brand of swanky yet casual, with a large full bar toward the middle of the room. There appears to be a patio area off to the side (the comedy club side - maybe it's theirs?) ...but the night I visited it was COLD, yo. I was not about to investigate. So, the bottom line is that while the pizza was good because it was, you know, PIZZA, you may find that to be secondary to just watching the (insert seasonable sport here) game and putting something reasonably tasty in your mouth for a reasonable price while doing so. That is not a bad place to have in the neighborhood! read more

My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday to enjoy the cowboys game with some appetizers and some drinks. They have over priced 'specials' $3 draft beer, and a $5 house margaritas. He ordered a beer, I got my margarita... Let me just say that it was SO WEAK I felt like I was drinking store bought On the Border margarita mix... His beer was short and defiantly not worth the price. The bartender didn't greet, talk or seem enthused to be at work. Instead he sat on the side and ate a sandwich.. Everyone else in the restaurant were standing aside complaining of how tired they were and not ready for the shift. The girl who greeted us when we entered seemed unsure of what she was doing... Unfortunately this is sad because this place is attached with the Arlington Improv.. You'd think much higher of it. Needless to say I will not be returning. Poor service and pitiful hungover looking staff. read more

Black Dog Pizza moved up the ranks during my dining experience, as in it continued to improve the longer we sat. Walking in, the connection to the improv club threw us off guard. Is it kosher to eat at a pizza joint that actually serves as the restaurant for a comedy club? In a development such as the Arlington Highlands? Stay tuned to find out. To test the waters, we started out with an order of chips and salsa and queso. $6? Not bad. Unfortunately, the queso fell flat, boasting that odd film. Note to queso prep-cooks: maybe just give a little stir before ladling into the bowl. I know queso is notorious for developing the "skin", but you can avoid the customers seeing this. Nonetheless, the queso tasted just like velveeta. The salsa likely came out of a jar. First disappointment. The Caesar salad actually brought up our spirits, what with the crisp lettuce, somewhat real Parmesan shreds (as long as it is not Kraft!), and lack of wilting, aged romaine leaves. Pizza rounded out our meal, and the 16 incher surprisingly won us over. The mildly thin crust hung on by a thread, yielding to the the smattering of ingredients found on our "Supreme" pie. The distribution of toppings afforded the spherical dish a good flavor balance. Honestly, I am reading too much into this rather simple pizza, but it satisfied us for $15. BDP does not lack in anything, providing pies, subs, and salads alongside adequate booze. Plus, we ate there for lunch, but who really cares what they are chomping down on when they are listening to a silly comedian? read more
