We had not been to San Matteo to have your pizzas in a while. At this new location, the pizzas were too thin and not crispy at all on the bottom- they were actually soggy and didn't hold the toppings! Although they tasted delicious, it was not what we remembered from the original location on 90th and second.

Food was good, but we were sat in a dark corner and forgotten about for most of the evening. Service was poor. We had to wait a long time for initial service, as well as our final check.
March 2025
Great food, amazing staff and terrific service! Our waiter Marco was very nice and patient. This pizzeria serves classic style Italian pizza, and has amazing pasta.

Never had a bad experience here, highly recommend it for both visitors and locals.
