Frankly, I never saw what the Matthew's fuss was about. I grew up in Fells Point, and we regularly went to Highlandtown for Matthew's. Against my will. I never liked the flavorless cardboard myself. DeSantis' version is just as bad.

The best pizza is homemade, but if I'm going to eat someone else's, I like Squires.

I don't know what most people order when they go to Matthew's, but I always choose the "traditional" pizza, with Parmesan and Romano (I think) instead of mozzarella cheese. It has a lot of flavor, and that's usually how I make my pizza at home.

Not impressed here! Icon or not, it's obvious the ingredients used are so-so at best. Try reheating this pizza the next day...yikes!

I live in the neighborhood, and I can tell you that the sauce comes out of a can.
How I know this is because the alley behind the restaurant is always full of trash including the cans of sauce. ...

Squires???? Just flat out bad pizza. Yuck

Matthews Pizza is the best and must be eaten with the grated cheese topping for the full flavor.

I have to shout it from the mountain top....Pizza Johns on Back River Neck Road is just phenomenal. The pizza is just awesome as is the self service counter. Just to see how this operation performs when busy is a treat!

As a New Yorker and pizza expert, I agree with everyone, I don't like 99% of Balt's pizza, but Matthew's is OK, Squires is better, and Pizza John is great. Believe it or not, the pizza place in the upstairs of Mondawin Mall is the closest to a NY slice I have ever had here! VERY GOOD. !!
