A kid-friendly D.C. area chain that is equally pleasing to adult companions
Matchbox is a trendy, thin-crust pizza restaurant and has grown to be a well known local chain over the years. It’s name evokes all that it’s known for, including a warm and cozy feel and the aroma of lightly charred pizzas emanating from its brick ovens. The menu options are delicious, simple, unique and lighter than the greasy, heavy slice unfortunately conjured in the mind when you hear “pizza” these days.
The pizza of the month will keep you on your toes, your tastebuds primed for a new culinary creation. But Matchbox has a nice variety of options beyond pizza that are classic, healthy options, and appealing to even the pickiest kids. Alternatively, if you want some upscale options, they have filet mignon and ribeye, craft burgers and sea bass, and, if you’re feeling indulgent, sweet shakes and desserts. Matchbox’s beer, wine and specialty drinks list for those 21 and older is quite comprehensive for those long lazy brunches… or anytime.
The service at the dozen DC are locations is friendly and energetic, and our experience across the numerous locations in the area has been very positive. They are consistently very kid and family-friendly, offering larger dishes perfect for sharing, and an atmosphere that feels family oriented.
This location is conveniently located close to Be With Me Playseum, a wonderful play place for toddlers and young kids. If you have a car and some time to spare, pick up a picnic from Matchbox and drive fifteen minutes to Locust Grove Nature Center. There you will find animal exhibits, nature walks, and play areas, so that everyone is sure to enjoy themselves.
