We love to eat out here! If you are visiting DC, don't try to rush into Matchbox at lunchtime on a weekday. Even with a down economy, this place will be packed! It is a great value though. If you love pizza, they have some of the best American style pizza. Their apps are amazing. I love the sliders! The... more

We ate at Matchbox in Chinatown on Saturday night, October 10th, with a party of 8 (2 kids, 6 adults). Despite the fact that we had no reservations, and it was peak dinner hour, we were seated immediately at a big round table (great for conversation)! The ambiance and decor is great here. It's innovative how they turned a historic... more

I celebrated my 50th birthday tonight at Matchbox Pizza it was phenomenal... wood fired pizza, salad and a loving family - who could ask for more. We sat outside on a small patio with a very large bonfire. The view of a beautiful old church across the street made it even better. This restaurant is located in China Town and... more

As a DC resident, I can say that Matchbox truly has some of the best pizza in the city (rivaling Two Amy's). I haven't had any of their burgers, but they LOOKED great when seeing them served to other tables. We went for Sunday brunch and were quite pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. As with most DC places,... more

Great food, ranging from brick oven pizzas or salads/burgers at $12 up to seafood in the $20-30 range, so you can eat more affordably or fancy. The ambiance is the BEST! Nice renovation of older townhouse style building using multiple levels, exposed brick, modern decor touches. Love it! Located in Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, DC, less than a block from... more

We almost missed this place but it's in Chinatown near Penn Quarter. The pizza is thin crusted and non-greasy. It's a big place. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend. It wasn't overly pricing. It's what you would probably expect in DC for a decent place to eat. more

We arrived in DC and wanted to try some of the local fare I had read about. We were not disappointed with Matchbox! We had the appetizer sampler with the mini burgers and scallops and they were fabulous! We tried a couple different pizzas (one with arugula was awesome) and then onto the desserts (chocolate chip cookie with gelato, chocolate... more

Matchbox is a nice local pizza place for out-of-towners to go for some pizza or "mini" burgers. The prices are reasonable and the service (while spotty) is not too bad. The place can be overwhelming busy and noisy, so be aware. Also, the pizza is fairly greasy (kind of standard for any pizza place), but tasty. All in all, not... more
