Today was my first time and I love how authentic this place feels. They use an original family recipe for the dough and sauce. The 8' Pizza is personal size but enough to share. I ate half by myself and I'm very full lol. The edges of the pizza are buttery and crispy. My favorite local pizza place now, you Must try !! read more

Pizza here is delicious! It's not quite true deep dish pizza, but has a nice, thick, yet fluffy crust. The crab pie is delicious! It's a brilliant idea and wonderfully executed with chunks of crab, seasoned with Old Bay. The interior of the restaurant feels like a totally family run place. I went late one evening on a week night. There wasn't a wait because it was near closing time, but the wait staff was still patient and attentive. read more

This review is only about the food. I had it delivered, So I cannot comment on the restaurant. I can't say I'm a fan. Let's start with the fact that they sent me the wrong order. I know it was not the delivery service (Amazon Prime) since my name was written on the packaging for the food. And speaking of the packaging, it wasn't in a box. It was 2 paper plates with construction paper taped to the top. As for the food. The pizza was just too think for my liking. It is like half as thick as a Chicago pie. I prefer a New Haven or New York style crust personally. I also ordered the meatball sliders. Flavor wise they tasted very good. But they looked like they were hastily thrown together. Buns half on the food. Simply meatball with sauce on a potato roll. Obviously people have different experiences, and you should base your choices on the whole, and not one single review. However, for me, I'm just going to go elsewhere. read more

I stopped in Mathews recently during the day for lunch. The place was empty so I say down and my server handed me a menu. I would come here years ago before the original family sold it. The pizza has been good here but this time not as great in the past. Firstly they gave me the wrong order, and when I did get my pie it was loaded down with everything to the point it was hard to eat. The sauce was bland and the mushrooms were canned. And when Paying they wouldn't accept Google voucher that was expired for the promo price but which is still supposed to be good for the purchased price. I may return.. maybe read more

Pizza was amazing, the wings werent actually wings, but they were still tasty especially with the bleu cheese so I'm not complaining. I love the art around the restaurant and servers were very nice and quick. read more

Best pizza in Baltimore... deep dish meets Detroit style. Don't waste time with their thin crust pizzas - go straight to the big boys. Outside of pizza, the meatball sub is solid but the pizza is worth ordering weekly. read more

A short & simple one... I think this is about as close to neutral as I've ever felt in giving a review. We had a basic TBM pie (can't remember their exact name for it.) It was pretty good, not great not bad. Definitely smaller than we expected. Not dying to go back, but I would when in the area of out convenience. read more

We came with a party of 15. The place was packed. They opened up the downstairs bar so the girls lacrosse team could come and have lunch.

This was my first time visiting Matthew's Pizza and I was thoroughly impressed by the food. I had the crab pie/pizza, which was hot, fresh and authentic. The lump crab was fresh and plentiful atop the handmade crust. The flavor overall was spot on, not overpowering. The staff was friendly and helpful, upon entering, which was another positive. The location is somewhat busy, so the street side parking was not so plentiful, but you'll appreciate a short stroll after enjoying a slice or 3! read more

So the reviews for Matthews almost scared me away. It seems like people either love it or hate it there's no in between. I'm that person. I did take out and got the 'popular pizza' and garlic bread. The garlic bread was soaked in butter and turned me off. The pizza was ok. Not my favorite but not bad either. read more

THE PIZZA! Holy moly get the pizza. There's a reason it's in the name. Don't get the wings (really, they're nothing special) but get the pizza. It's not New York, it's not Sicilian. It's a round doughy, pizza topped with a light sauce and delicious (heavenly) cheese blend. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think it's even better on day two. read more

How can you not love a pizza joint that's been around for 75 years? Well, if the pizza weren't any good, maybe you'd have an excuse not to love it. Fortunately, Matthew's gives you no such excuse. This is neither "New York style" thin crust nor "Chicago style" deep dish but its own style somewhere in between. Call it "Baltimore style," if you like; as the oldest continuously operating pizzeria in the city, they've earned the right to call it that. Not that they do. In fact, they're distinctly low-key when it comes to self-promotion. Some restaurants would try to capitalize on such a distinguished history, but Matthew's seems content simply to remain a neighborhood favorite. Some of the patrons are clearly regulars, but the wait staff treat everyone well. About that crust. It's crispy on the edges, buttery, and frankly delicious--the best part of the pie. The only point of comparison that comes to mind is (forgive me) Pizza Hut pan pizza, which is vaguely similar in concept but a hundred times less successful in execution. The cheeses are excellent, too--no pre-shredded chain store cheese here--and there are multiple options, including a high-quality mozzarella, a Reggianito (similar to Parmesan Reggiano), and a fresh ricotta. Try the 3-Cheese Pie and get all of the above bundled onto one pizza: a gooey mass of scrumptiousness! The toppings all seem fine, if mostly undistinguished; only the meatball really stands out as something special. (They do make a well-regarded crab pie, which I haven't tried.) The sauce is fairly bland. This could be a good thing, in that it doesn't get in the way of the other flavors, but I found myself wishing it contained just a bit more salt. Of course, there's salt on the tables, along with the ubiquitous grated Parmesan and crushed pepper flakes, plus an extra shaker filled with oregano--a thoughtful touch for the herb lovers among us. Ahem. Most of the pizzas come in two sizes. The 10-inch pie is plenty for one person and might suffice for two people who either are indifferent to good pizza (philistines!) or inexplicably had just finished a meal before arriving. Its big brother, the 12 incher, is a more reasonable meal for two. You won't find any gigantic 18-inch pizzas here, but that's okay: quality over quantity is a policy worth pursuing, especially when it comes to food. The salads and appetizers are good, but pizza is the star of the show, and deservedly so. Save room for it! My only real gripe about the pizza is its presentation. While diners are provided china plates, the pizzas arrive on paper ones, and the bottom of the crust sometimes sticks to the paper, especially if there are moist toppings that run a bit when the pie is sliced. (Ricotta and mushrooms, I'm talking to you!) The worthy individual on dishwashing duty may hate me for this, but I suggest the pizza be served on china or metal plates. Not only do the paper plates stick; they also seem just the slightest bit tacky. If Matthew's ever moves across the street into Patterson Park and serves their food alfresco, I'll withdraw my suggestion. In the meantime, a buffer of waxed paper or foil would be another solution. All in all, Matthew's is one of the true treasures of Baltimore. I hope they have another successful 75 years. Heck, if the autocratic troll in the White House doesn't decree McDonald's for all--or just blow us all up--maybe Matthew's will keep going for another 750 years. I rather hope they do. read more

Two words: Crab Pie. There are other marvelous creations at Matthew's, but really the highlight is the crab pie. Being Maryland it of course features genuine crab meat seasoned with Old Bay (!) and topped with reggianito cheese, the standard mozz and carmelized onions. It's an exquisite combination. It runs "market price" but it was I think $13.50 tonight - similarly priced to their other large pizzas. I also recommend the "Great White" (no tomatoes) and the "Margherita" - olive oil/basil, fresh tomatoes. These can also be ordered with other toppings like meats and stuff. I haven't had other I've eaten food from here several times and have yet to be disappointed. The dining area is a bit small and can be noisy, but it does have that whole cutesy old-school intimate vibe going for dates and such. read more

This is the exact same pizza as Hollywood Pizza in Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania. I'd of given it 5 stars, but it's a very small pizza for $13.75!! I feel ripped off even though the pizza was good. If I were in Mt. Carmel I'd get literally 3 times this much pizza or more for the same price. So you get a small pizza portion size, but you pay the price of an XL pizza and then some. I was generous giving three stars, and the pizza was good, but I'll never buy it here again since it costs way too much. I also thinks it's a little more than suspicious the pizza tastes exactly like Hollywood Pizza in Mt. Carmel, PA. I think some questions should be asked here. read more

I looked up the Best Pizza in Baltimore and Matthew's was on the list. My favorite pizza style is New York. When I got my pizza from my Matthew's it wasn't New York style and looked different from what I really like and I thought "oh here we go...." But, wait for it.... BLOWN AWAY!!! It was one of the best pizza's I've ever had. I have enough pizza stored up in my hump from around the world to survive Armageddon. Phenomenal. Absolutely worth a special trip if you're in Charm City. read more

Hands down my favorite pizza in Baltimore. Semi-deep dish style with amazing three-cheese blend and great crust!

I love ALL pizza but Matthew's is by far the best pizza I've had in Baltimore. The cheese is out of this world and the perfectly baked crust is unlike anything I've ever had. I had the mozzarella pie (with no toppings) and I can't even imagine how delicious their specialty pies are. One may think the place looks uninviting from the outside, but Matthew's is so cozy once you step in and is a perfect casual place to devour some delicious pizza. They even have a bar/waiting area downstairs for folks waiting to be seated. Our waitress was super attentive and service was spectacular. I'm already dreaming about the next time I'll get to eat a Matthew's pizza... read more

Matthew's pizza is great! Matthew's was recommended to me through one of my professors who lived in Chicago for a while and said that Matthew's deep dish pizza rivals that of Chicago's, so I obviously had to give it a try. I'm generally more of a thin crust kind of person, but I decided to go since I it's not too far from my house anyway. It's a cute little casual neighborhood place that doesn't have a lot of frills, but the service is still great. I came with a couple of friends the first time and we ordered the crab pie, margherita, and fra diavolo. Crab pie was great! It had a pretty hefty portion of crab, which surprised me since I thought they might skimp on the crab meat. The margherita was good but was nothing special. The fra diavolo though was my absolute favorite, and every time I've come back I always get that pizza. It has a thai chili sauce on it, so it's actually a bit spicy! I would recommend adding some chicken to it as well if you like having more than just some sauce and cheese on your pizza. My only very small gripe about this place is that the pizzas are pretty oily and I kind of feel a little bit gross after eating, but that may also be because I have absolutely no self control and always eat way more slices than I need to. read more

Good Pizza, especially if you like deep dish. I ordered deliver and it came on time and hot! I got the everything pizza and it was delicious. Also ordered the great white pizza but that was a lot less flavorful. Overall I think it's a good local spot. I'm looking forward to going into the restaurant and check it out a few more items on their menu. read more

A different type of pizza- do not come here expecting NY style thin slices! They only make personal style pizzas, but that's probably because they figured out that no one wants to share them! They are that good. Service was friendly and the family history and vibe of this place is apparent and welcomed. In some ways, the atmosphere reminds me of an old school NJ Italian place! I went with one of their standard pies - sauce and mozzarella cheese only- to really get a feeling for the flavors. Cheese was a bit too crispy but the crust was phenomenal and buttery as deep dish crust should be, and the sauce is incredibly fresh! I love a light tomato-y sauce which is exactly what you get at Matthews. Some of my table mates got sandwiches- superb review on the veal Parmesan sub and also on the chicken parm sub. The subs used great bread which is the key! We just moved in around the block so will be back read more

Matthews is the Chicago Bulls of pizza. The crust is the Michael Jordan, the anchor, the legend. The sauce is Scottie Pippen, the counterpart with great chemistry.

There food was okay. It's just not going to be a place that I will prefer to eat at again.

My wife and I have heard about this place for years but we rarely go into the city so just haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Haven't really found many good pizzerias in Maryland but this may be the best we have tried yet. We went around 5:45 on a Friday evening and were able to get a table right away. Service was great and made us feel very welcomed. We had a 10" crab pie and an 8" pepperoni and both we great. The crab pie might have been one of the best pizzas we have ever tried. Next time we are in the area we will definitely go back. Wish they had a location outside of the city but it is definitely worth the drive. read more

I heard a lot about the crab pizza and decided to stop give it a shot. Overall, not bad! The crab flavor was strong and it was mixed with delicious cheese. The flavor got a little bit old after a slice or 2, but it was not an unpleasant experience overall. It is definitely very heavy and will put you in a food coma. I'll definitely give Matthew's another try in the future since it's so well known, but I'll likely try something else! If you're looking for a crab dish, there's plenty of better places in Baltimore, but I'm sure their other pizzas are better. read more

The pizza is amazing! Crispy and delicious. I always bring friends who are out of town here or order out. It's good everytime!

Is there anything worse than a watery, tasteless pizza? I don't think so. I stopped in yesterday and ordered the everything pizza but that is exactly what I got. It was so bad, but I was so hungry for pizza that I ate 4 slices anyway. I really wanted pizza so I took the rest with me to try again later but before I got home I stopped somewhere else for a to-go salad. The pizza was so bad that I felt an intense desire for greens to counteract that greasy mess I had just dumped into my stomach. This afternoon I looked at the left over pizza for less than a second before I threw it in the garbage. What the hell are you people doing rating this place so high? Do you not know what pizza is supposed to be like? CANNED MUSHROOMS? Really? There are only so many pizzas that a person will ever eat in their life. I'm pissed that I wasted one of my tickets on this place. read more
