Matthews Pizza is still amazing. I got the 3 cheese with mushrooms and it was perfection. Fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of cheesy goodness. The quality hasn’t changed a bit over the years. Definitely a Baltimore classic that never disappoints.

The Myth, The Legend, and Totally Worth It We finally stopped into Matthew's Pizza around 5:30 p.m. on a Friday — the place was packed, which we took as a good sign. After a short 20-minute wait, we got our pizza, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Easily one of the top three best pizzas I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly baked, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the cheese was rich and flavorful , you can tell they take pride in every pie that leaves their oven. If you're a true pizza lover, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommend.

I've been coming here ever since I grew up. It hasn't changed one bit, so I walk in and get hit with great feelings of nostalgia. Another thing that is still the same is the pizza and house salad. It is so good! This is my go-to pizza spot in Baltimore, and will continue to come for life.

I've been to Matthew's a handful of times. Each visit has been very consistent. I've ordered the margherita, 3 cheese, and popeye. All three have been really good, with the 3 cheese being my favorite. The crust is absolutely old of the stars. I'd call it a semi- deep dish crust that has a nice crisp. There's a lot of cheese and the ratio to other toppings is good. I would say the most underwhelming item I've ordered is the iced tea, but that's not a big deal. The service has been good and the prices I think are fair. Matthew's is certainly one of the better pizzerias in Baltimore City. It's different than your average pizza parlor so if you go in expecting that you're expectations may not be met. Matthew's is a solid spot!

If you want crab pie..aka crab pizza... head here!!! The BEST I've tasted! Real back fin crab meat, so it's Market price, but again, worth every penny!! Yup, I had a slice before posting and I can't say enough! The restaurant is small, pizza takes about 25 minutes to make, but it's well worth the wait!!

Matthew's is my favorite neighborhood pizzeria with only one other that I normally consider. I admit it has been awhile since I've been here, but I've not been in the neighborhood in a long time. I found it comforting that the pizza and the service have not changed. I have never been disappointed when I choose to enjoy food from Matthew's. I highly recommend that if you haven't already, give Matthew's Pizzeria a try.

Such a great vibe here. The pizza was great (tried the barbecue, the Roman and the grated). Phenomenal. Basement bar was chill, small and inviting. Cheap beer too which was refreshing. Definitely going back to try other pizzas and watch a game. If You haven't been it's a must. Thank me later.
