New York style sausage, hot giardineira, and mushrooms
Erik B.

My first introduction to Matta was their phenomenal buttery garlic bread that my brother brought to a party earlier this year. Even after traveling it tasted so good. I was cat sitting for that same brother who lives close to the restaurant and dropped by on a Friday night thinking I would just grab a slice or two. They had several available which all sounded pretty good but none of them was exactly what I wanted and seeing the quality of the ingredients got me to pull an audible and just order a custom New York style pie with my usual: sausage, mushrooms, and giardineira. The staff member at the counter was incredibly friendly and gave me a quick rundown of what they offered while I was deciding which was much appreciated. I stopped by the next day to see if I could get some sauce for dipping my leftover slices in and she was more than happy to let me have a little to-go container. This is a fantastic pizza spot that's definitely worth a try.

Veggie Slice and Cheese Slice

Pizza Matta was so good! First time stopping by, ordered a veggie and cheese slice. I'm a little mad at myself for not getting 2 veggie slices!! But cheese was tasty too. Both just a tad bit salty, but still delicious! I ordered to go and the whole way home I could smell the delicious veggies! What a wonderful smell, I was rushing to get home and these slices did not disappoint. Such good flavor and not overly greasy. Service was fast, guy at the counter was nice. And price was reasonable. $4 for cheese and $6 for veggie. The inside of the Pizzeria is a bit small, but it's nicely decorated. Looks clean too. Def coming back! I'm so happy I found a delicious pizza spot close to home.

I've had Pizza Matta on my list for a while now after seeing fox's review on instagram, it looked phenomenal. I had to make my way up there and check it out for myself. We ordered the 16 inch tavern style cheese pizza. I had my queen with me and she's a vegetarian so we went with cheese, but you have the option to do half-and-half. The pizza was on point came out piping, hot, nice and thin. Their dough is amazing it stayed crispy throughout the whole dining experience. The quality of dough and flavors are exquisite and they cooked it perfectly with just right char on the bottom, you could also from the taste you can tell they use really good quality cheese. The sauce was nice and acidic the way I like it, only feedback I have is just need to add a little more sauce. They also offer free side condiments like hot honey and chili oil. The chili oil was amazing even the quality of their Parmesan is fire. The young lady that helped us at the register was very helpful and patient great customer service felt like she was happy that we were there trying their pizza. The location is little store front on Armitage with three tables with bench seats counter/register where you can get slices and an opening to see the guys making pizzas. It's really cool little spot. I love the ambience with the pizza peels hanging on the wall. Parking was real easy. Lots of street parking. They also have pay for parking in front of the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try their specialty pizza that they offer.100% Recommend!!

Pepperoni slice right around $5. Delicious!

This place has delicious pizza by the slice! Their pepperoni pizza is my favorite. Super greasy but tasty! One of the times I went in they were out of pepperoni and weren't making anymore during the day so that was a bummer. The employees are friendly and attentive. I recommend this place!

Sausage a green pepper

Disappointed by the Giant team. This is just average pizza. It's not quite thin and not quite pan. Reminds me of Pizza Hut pizza. We have such good pizza in the neighborhood between Pizza Lonzo, Pauline Gee, Middle Brow, and Reno. I doubt I'll order again if they don't change things up.

BBQ Chicken pizza-by-the-slice!

GO HERE! Some of the best by the slice pizza in chicago! Giant (renowned small plates) is right next door and chef Jason is working both kitchens often! He's local and a delight. This is a local guy and business you want to support! Great price for top shelf pizza! Spread the word!

When you've had a long day at work, your kid's driving you bananas and you just don't want to cook... Pizza Matta is your place. The Best Pizza in Humboldt Park. I've had my share fare of pizza throughout my life, Pizza Matta serves an EXCELLENT pie. If you live in the neighborhood stop in and get a slice. My pre teen couldn't make it home, walking & eating lol.

Cheese slices to go.

Great ny style pizza. Baked perfectly. Good variety of slices available if you don't need a whole pie. A few tables if you want to dine in. Uses Caputo double o flour and it's evident from the taste of the crust. Very reasonably priced at $4 for a large slice. Salads are very unique, creative and delicious. Counter people are courtesy, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely keep on my top 5 list.

Not to mention the hostess couldve been nicer. Please check my other reviews as I have thousands and I dont normally pop people often but this is one. The benches are 90 degree angles which I guess I could get over since its an older place that is reputable but the other conditions just made it worse. Our server was fine and attentive. The Air Condition was seriously blasting - I was shivering at lunch. The pizza is not at all my cup of tea but I ate some of it. I got about 5 bites in and had a surprise in my pizza. See photo. I know its an honest mistake but the review and the experience layered on top of each thing and this is how we got here.

Super thin, super crispy, and holds up without getting soggy. 9.7/10. The pepperoni + hot honey combo was perfect. The flavor was amazing and everything just worked together perfectly. 9.8/10. The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

The onion rings, though, were absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch, and we were so well taken care of. I honestly can't imagine how they handled so many customers that night--kudos to the team. And the bathrooms were super clean, which I always appreciate. I'd definitely go back for a pint and to watch the game.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!
