Came here with intentions of a dinner date and they exceeded my expectations all across the board! In specific DJ ; very attentive, very knowledgeable, friendly and overall amazing energy! I’d recommend for everyone & even, I, myself will be returning! - The spinach artichoke dip with the garlic bread was AMAZING ☺️

Came in to matchbox for one drink stayed for 3 hours. Herbert has fantastic service he is great at recommending drinks. The restaurant was slow but Herbert was so attentive. He cared about details like refilling waters when I didn't ask bringing extra napkins. I will be coming back to matchbox only if Herbert is my bartender !!

Stopped by this Matchbox DC after a hockey game with my boyfriend, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The food arrived cold, and the pepperoni lacked flavor, just super salty. The pizza dough was soft and undercooked, which was disappointing for a pizza spot. Customer service was just okay—staff seemed rushed and not very friendly. For the high prices, I expected much better quality and experience. There are definitely other chains that do a simple pizza pie much better.

My husband and I LOVE eating at Matchbox Pizza, and we've been to most of them in the DC area. Never disappointed. And our visit to the Capitol Hill locations met expectations. Great service from Jefferson, and our compliments to the chefs. The ambience and atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

This is one of the better places for pizza on the hill. They have a good happy hour and brunch on the weekends (especially the unlimited option that comes with the excellent breakfast pizza). They used to have an excellent chicken sandwich but changed it recently and it's not as good. The atmosphere inside is very inviting and it's an excellent place to watch a game at the bar.

In general, the wait staff seemed a bit disorganized but the bartender had my back!
Crispy chicken sandwich was fantastic...came with a deviled egg topping/dressing... delicious!
Shoestring fries NVR my fav...go cold too quick

We went in on a whim and ended up having a wonderful time. From the moment we walked in the service (hostess) and bartender were very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious along with the service and staff. We ordered off of the restaurant week special and it did not fail! Thank you all and We will definitely be back.
