What makes a great pizza? It starts with a great oven! Ours is an authentic wood- fired masonry oven where the fire has burned constantly since the day we opened. Modern gas and electric ovens cannot produce the intense heat needed - over 800 degrees - to achieve the crispy, smoky crust that our oven provides. With dough made fresh daily in-house, our goal is to make the best pizza in the desert!

In the mood for something a little fancier? Our famous mini-burgers, grilled atlantic salmon, 10 oz grilled top sirloin or our pan-roasted citrus glazed chicken? Our chef's dishes are simply and classically prepared! You’ll find our appetizers and entrees well seasoned and hearty, never bland.

The challenge? Build an interesting restaurant in an expansive second floor space that includes outdoor seating in historic Downtown Palm Springs! The matchbox experience takes place in an engaging atmosphere designed and custom-built by the partners themselves.  We invite you to explore an array of  features and décor made from rustic stone, distressed metals, finished woods and vintage brick.
