MATAS54 In Ancona

Without a doubt one of the best pizzerias in Ancona. Family-run for two generations. Very suggestive location in the historic center. The pizzas are topped with high quality raw materials. The owner is French and is an excellent expert on local wines, and suggested excellent labels to us. Room service could be improved, but overall a great experience.

Gran comida y gran servicio. Cada uno tenía una pizza y era increíble. La corteza era deliciosa por sí misma y las coberturas solo realzaban ese sabor. Los servidores eran muy amables y serviciales (somos ingleses y el menú era italiano). Sin duda volvería de nuevo!

Located in a delightful corner of Ancona, very nice restaurant. The girl - I think the owner - delightful, recommended us a very good wine to accompany appetizer and pizza. Really delicious ingredients, a pleasant evening!

There is no question that the food is amazing. There is a great variety of unique choices. They have a really nice terrace and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The only problem was that the service is slow and you have to pay inside. From what I understood, it is better to have a reservation. I think we just got lucky that we didn’t wait at all

Excellent pizza for dinner with friends, very nice location and excellent service, very friendly staff, recommended.

Matas 54 is hands down the best pizza I had in Ancona—authentic Neapolitan style! I’m genuinely surprised it’s not more popular in travel guides yet. We stumbled upon it while walking from the Duomo to the historic centre, drawn in by the incredible smell coming from the place. The pizzas are beautifully composed with a soft, fluffy crust—exactly how I love it. We also enjoyed a perfectly made Aperol Spritz and a cold beer, which added to the experience. There was a longer wait as a family celebration was taking place, but it was absolutely worth it. What really stood out was the kind and attentive staff—they were genuinely concerned about the wait and even offered us a discount. Amazing customer care, delicious food, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. This spot is a true hidden gem—we’ll definitely be back!

Very delicious pizza made with fresh and variety products. Nice and wonderful owner!

The night before the ferry, last chance to have a „real“ Italien Pizza before we enjoy our wonderful Greek food again. This place was a lucky find! Wonderful pizza paired with a local wine very nicely recommended by one of the kind service ladies. The place is also very nice to sit in. Happy time well spent, thanks a lot to the team!

Really nice and refined place in the center of Ancona, kind and helpful staff. The pizza is really excellent 🔝🔝

Prendo spesso la pizza qui, cambierò il numero di stelle se dovessero migliorare certe cose. La prendo spesso perché i condimenti sono ottimi, in generale pizza sopra la media da tanti aspetti. Le materie prime ottime L’ho presa 4/5 volte da asporto e una sono andata lì. Il locale è rumoroso, se becchi una serata concitata (a me era capitato un compleanno accanto), il chiasso non permette di parlare. Però il personale è veloce e gentilissimo. Sembra abbiano problemi con il cuoco. Spesso le pizze sono bruciate, altre volte non cotte alla perfezione. Mentre aspettavo l’asporto mi è capitato di vedere un paio di pizze in uscita venute male ed è stata la proprietaria ad insistere con il cuoco per buttarle perché secondo lei non erano accettabili e secondo lui invece sì. Mi dispiace perché forse non hanno un cuoco super sveglio ecco.
