Great for brunch
Kid-friendly
Great for creative cocktails

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.

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!

There was a live bug in one of our Cesar salads. We informed the server and returned our salads. Our entrees were already ordered and were bug free as far as we could tell. When it was time for the bill. The server told us they took the salads off of our bill. It was not the severs fault. A manager should have addressed the situation with offered additional support.

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the salad. We take matters like this very seriously and have addressed it with our team to ensure it doesn't happen again. We appreciate your understanding that our server did their best under the circumstances. Your feedback about management involvement is noted and will be taken into consideration. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The dining tables look like they belong in a dive bar - very ininviting. The server - while very sweet - made a couple of “interesting” mistakes. And the manager had zero interest in accommodating a simple request. And I mean simple. Won’t go back. Will take my business to Copper Canyon.
