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.

Pizza is lacking cheese for those interested in a cheesy pizza. It’s much more saucy

Servers constantly checking in on us (including servers not assigned to our table) and asking random questions was distracting (who needs more bread all of a sudden when they almost done with their main??). Completely ignored our presence though when they loudly and clumsily moved around tables next to us while we were eating. Food was meh

Pizza used to be fabulous. Now a soupy mess. Wine by glass exorbitant. $24 for no name red. Never going back.

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.

We always love San Matteo. We recommend sitting in the back if you want pizza—being near the pizza oven means you get it as soon as it comes out of,the oven
