Matchbox

This design-centric casual-dining chain specializes in artisanal thin-crust pizzas, an ever-changing menu and experiential dining. With a director of architecture on staff, Matchbox considers every element from light to sound, determining how to work with spaces to create authentic atmospheres. But Matchbox’s design-heavy process doesn’t weigh it down. The chain plans to launch six locations every year for the next four years across the U.S.
