Review by Emie Walter

Matchbox is a charming spot for a casual meal in DC! I recently visited with friends for brunch and was impressed by the warm vibe and spacious seating. We tried the Matchbox Meat Pizza, which was perfectly crispy and loaded with flavor, and the honey wings that had just the right amount of kick.

Service was friendly, though we did have to grab someone to seat us, but that didn't impact our overall experience. Make sure to save room for dessert - their offerings are a delightful finish! 🍕
