About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for business meals
Neighborhood gem

Bubbling, thin crust pizzas, mini burgers, crisp salads, and craft cocktails...four great reasons to visit matchbox today. We’re the neighborhood gathering place for fun, upscale casual dining, with local, award-winning beers, broad spectrum wines, and handcrafted signature cocktails you won’t find anywhere else.

A titan of a space, Rockville was modeled after a hunting lodge yet still manages to feel cozy. A comfortable fireplace fills the space, as well as two wood-fired ovens that churn out thin-crust pizzas in minutes. With two outdoor patios and the private 30-seat Congressional Room, there’s plenty of space for intimate dinners, large parties and get-togethers.

The fish & chips was excellent. My wife said she's had better pizza. A couple things I really liked: the tables were not too close together and the noise level allowed for normal conversation.

We took our grandson to dinner. My wife had the arugula pear salad with grilled shrimp while my grandson and I had individual pizzas. The food was excellent. Although the restaurant was packed, Rose gave us great service. We will return.
