Mary SchoenharlJanuary 3, 2015Great Pizza. Able to mix and match pizza's. Staff was very service oriented and friendly! Interesting space.
Joey and Christina are great bartenders. Matchbox also boasts the best onion rings in the District of Columbia!
ConnerDecember 3, 2011Great place. Pizza is real brick oven and not just thin crust. Get early on weekends as the wait can be long and bar fills up quickly
Ruth LaToison IfillAugust 14, 2014The pizza is awesome and the bread pudding is as well. Favorite drink is the ginger snap.
Honey PeachesJanuary 15, 2014FGT are good But they aren't available@ 14th street.Location. Tend to change Menus every few months so it's worth rotating between the two locations
Katie BucknerSeptember 23, 2014The pizza is great, of course, but their other food is just as good. Crab tower forever.
Suzanne YuenJanuary 24, 2011I got the Fire n Smoke pizza n it was SO spicy even though it was good. I don't recommend it if you are not spice tolerant. I think the pan seared scallop n the mini burgers were great though!
Best brunch in town. My recs: brunch pizza, veggie frittata, cast iron steak & eggs and of course a bloody #6 with bacon
The best pizza (IMHO) in DC. Nice venue, great draft beer selection.
The spicy meatball and the Q special pizza - get it! You won't be disappointed!
Kathryn ZFebruary 3, 2013Don't believe their website. They DO take reservations and book up quickly on weekends. This may leave you out in the cold...
Stacia KuceyeskiMarch 11, 2011Get the fire and smoke and the four cheese pizza and split with your friend. Each one would be too much but half and half is perfect.
Perri WinkleMarch 8, 2012You can do half and half pizzas from the pizzas on the menu. It doesn't say it on the menu but they do it! :-)
Fabián GonzálezMarch 11, 2013Awesome Mini Burgers & Pizza. Great service, ask for Sarah. Ask for an Apple Crisp for dessert
EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010Between the best pizzas in town and juicy little mini-burgers that come, as advertised on servers' shirts, in sets of 3, 6, or 9 (we recommend 9), no wonder Matchbox is on fire in D.C.!
Isabela TonialJuly 14, 2016Best pizza ever!!!! Go with Italian prosciutto ham and argula or matchball
LynnJuly 3, 2012Make reservations Sunday-Thursday on their website. Always on a wait, but the food is worth it!
Alexandra MironovaApril 5, 2014Good prices, tasty food, great service and atmosphere. Would definitely come back!
Jeb GavinJune 23, 2010The sliders were damn good. Didn't need the Parmesan, but with the thin pickles and Gouda, they were great. Very juicy for small burgers; the buns didn't get too soggy, which happens with brioche.- Dara FisherDecember 26, 2012Usually a wait around dinner time, but great, fancy-ish pizza that's also reasonably priced.
Ryan UnderwoodJanuary 18, 2011TeamTRI loves the apple/pear salad. Matchbox Meat pizza superb! Thin crust is outstanding. Rock'n service. Great decor and vibe.
Mike ScottJuly 22, 2012Ask for the gourmet chocolate milk. It's one of the best off the menu secrets there!
The best place to eat and to have a great time when you are visiting
Martin SloanJanuary 15, 2011Stop in to matchbox for brunch soon. the bloody Mary burger is excellent and the bartenders Chelsea and Becky are even better!
Reacheal Sis-MedinaAugust 20, 2015MB chicken sandwich was amazing waiting to try my donuts and coffee Heard it was worth it
Sandra RubinchikFebruary 25, 2015I gotta say, as a native New Yorker and obnoxious pizza snob, this place didn't disappoint.
AngelaAugust 14, 2013Everything I've tried has been delicious! The salads are on the small side though.
Kiara WalkerDecember 21, 2010Great for brunch! I had the french toast and bacon, i was stuffed! the cocktails are great too and a beautiful interior
Emily TierneyDecember 2, 2012Ordered the sausage and onion pizza - very good! Recommend their jalapeño margarita.
Liz P.February 28, 2011mini burgers with gorgonzola cheese...the onion fries come by the pile; eat them all. delicious food great service!
Dan FoyFebruary 10, 2016Pizza, check. Sliders, check. Beer, check check check. Great Chinatown option.
Nathan KetsdeverNovember 16, 2009Yummy. Easily a top 25 place to eat in the city. Easily accessible at the Chinatown/Gallery Metro. Trendy-ish. Only downsides are the occasional wait and beverages on the pricey side.
Amanda MAugust 19, 2012The chicken pesto & veggie pesto pizzas are delish. If you can't choose get half and half!
Liz Caselli-MechaelJuly 19, 2015Patio pounder lemonade is delicious, and on happy hour special until 6pm!
Agnes FajutaganaSeptember 4, 2011Get the huevos rancheros for brunch! Its so good I had to come back the next day for it.
elena lauJune 15, 2011Crab soup, sliders, smoke and fire pizza.... All amazing, best of all was the cozy outdoor seating!
Michael SingletaryAugust 22, 2014Pretty okay. Not amazing, but the drinks are strong and delicious. Chicken pesto pizza was good, but not special. Sliders had flavor, but were overlooked and a bit dry.

"Love the Regal in Chinatown! Very easy to get to. Parking lot underground where you can park for free for 2-3 hours and get your ticket validated at the theaters. Easy to get to from the Metro!"
Tessa Merna - 9.0
"Probably my favorite museum in DC. What makes this place so fun is that they have famous artists painting other celebrities and historical figures. Always something fun in their special exhibits."
