Gourmet wood-fired pizzas, wine, espresso & panuozzi sandwiches
"San Matteo serves more than 25 types of pizzas, and, in the very unlikely event that you need even more pizza-adjacent food from this Upper East Side Italian spot, they also serve panuozzi—which are like giant sandwiches made with pizza dough. To place a delivery order, call them at 212-861-2434." - team infatuation
"On the Upper East Side the restaurant changed its schedule to open for lunch on Election Day after overwhelming customer requests; owner Fabio Casella said the election is a hot topic of conversation at the restaurant’s bar. The spot is promoting the Americana, a pizza that includes tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Mike’s Hot Honey, and Casella said this is the first time he is serving pepperoni, since he usually tries to keep the cuisine as Italian as possible." - Alexis Benveniste
"Pizza delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"There might come a time when you’ll need to avoid everyone you know, and you’ll briefly consider burrowing through the floor of your apartment like a wombat. But that’s impractical and, ultimately, expensive. That’s where San Matteo comes in. This is a big, casual Italian spot on the UES where you can simultaneously hide and have a great meal. It’s one of the only places in the city that serves giant pizza sandwiches called panuozzi, so make a mental note to come back here when you’re feeling more social and order one of those. When you’re alone and on a mission, stick to the ravioli and a glass of red. No burrowing necessary." - hannah albertine
"If you don’t currently remember what a good Neapolitan pizza tastes like, call San Matteo on the UES. In addition to pizza, they also serve pasta, salads, and the magical pizza dough sandwiches known as panuozzi. Order by phone at 212-861-2434, or place an order directly on their website." - team infatuation
