  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Bubbling, thin crust pizzas, mini burgers, crisp salads, and craft cocktails...four great reasons to visit matchbox today. Centrally situated in the Downtown Silver Spring Shopping Center, matchbox offers a warm and lively neighborhood gathering place with an aesthetic reflecting the Silver Spring community and its growth at the turn of the 20th century.

Comfortable dining areas featuring wood tabletops, leather banquettes, and raised booths, as well as a spacious bar area and flexible seating for large groups further emphasize the welcoming, energetic atmosphere that matchbox is known to cultivate at each restaurant. Anchoring the design is a wood-burning oven that catches the eye from any seat in the house as it fires up signature thin-crust pizzas within minutes.

In warmer months, patio dining is available under a pergola, lending an indoor-outdoor vibe to the setting.

    The whole entire experience was amazing! This is the 2nd year the family and I have been here for Valentine’s Day together celebrate & as always, it was perfect! The only downside was the waitress during our visit. She had a terrible attitude and it seemed as though she had a very short temper, however the food was great and everything was beyond amazing. Another memory for the books! Thank you Matchbox <3

    Food was as expected from matchbox. For restaurant week, I’d have expected better service. Saw our server exactly three times. 15min after we sat down, after our drinks were empty, and for the check. They were at maybe 40% capacity. No good reason for that on a Friday night.

    I have been to Matchbox a few times but the service this time was severely lacking. We were sat as soon as we got there as the restaurant was relatively empty. We had to sit for 15 minutes while employees were passing us by without anyone assisting us. Then when someone finally approached, we did not have the right menu which she went to grab. After grabbing the menu, she proceeded to have a 5 minute conversation with a couple at a table next to us before handing us the menu. After placing the order for the appetizers and entree, it took over 30 minutes for the appetizers to be brought it and once I mentioned it, she ignored it and walked away. The entrees were brought out not long after and they were cold. The service was horrible and the food was mediocre.

    I think this is my new favorite matchbox location! The food was excellent, the vibes were great, and my only concern was seeing the bartender run the entire bar section with minimal support. She was extremely busy tending bar, prepping table drinks, running food, and helping all of the high tops, making it difficult to get refills for soft drinks, to no fault of her own. Beyond that, my party had a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning next time I’m in town.

    I would've preferred not to have the live music. It impeded conversation.

    When we seat outside, there was a homeless person right out front of the restaurant. Not a good look.

    What was planned to be a lovely reunion with a longtime colleague, turned into a blaring music, exceedingly slow service and mediocre food. The band playing on the patio was way too loud. There was no where inside the restaurant where you could hold a conversation given the volume of the band. The service was exceedingly slow, and the restaurant was very sparsely populated. The food was ugh! Won’t be back.

    We ordered the Veggie pizza with the pear and walnut salad for our dinner. The meal was delish and our server, “Red” was a delight!
