            Just as Matthew’s website states, Matthew’s Pizza is truly Baltimore’s best pizza! If you haven’t been to Matthew’s yet, you are truly missing out. Just writing about their pizza makes our mouths water! There are not many restaurants that we dream about when we are back in our hometowns, but this is one of them!

If you plan on going to Matthew’s, your best bet is to go on a weekday night. On the weekends, Matthew’s is packed with locals. If there is a wait on the weekends, you can wait in a bar they have set up in the basement of the restaurant.

            When we go to Matthew’s (which is frequently), we typically split a house salad and a large 3-cheese pizza with meatballs. When we’re really getting crazy, we order bruschetta as well. We know what you’re thinking-that sounds like quite a lot of food for two people. However, it really isn’t that much. A large pizza at Matthew’s is 10 inches. Although it’s small in size, it’s a very thick, filling pizza. The 3-cheese pizza is topped with a mouthwatering combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and reggianito.  The meatballs are homemade with angus beef. The 3-cheese with meatballs is a must at Matthew’s!

            As for the house salad, it is simple, yet delicious. A combination of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, olives, and pepperocinis is topped with cheese and their house dressing. The salad is classic, but it’s another must at Matthew’s.

Crab Pie

            Another tasty dish at Matthew’s is the crab pie. We hesitated ordering it many times based on that fact that its price was listed as “market price”. However, one day when we were feeling adventurous, we ordered it. It was awesome! Plus, it ended up only costing around $15! The crab pie is a white pizza topped with mozzarella, reggianito, crab, caramelized onions, and old bay seasoning. If you like crab, it was definitely worth trying!

            Although we have yet to try them, other items that look good on their menu include Anna’s stuffed pie, bruschetta with crab, spinach salad, and a selection of gelato. So if you’re looking for a tasty bite, Matthew’s is your place! Let us know what you thought of Matthew’s!
