BALTIMORE, MD (6/1/21) – Matthew Kenney Cuisine, a plant-based lifestyle brand founded by celebrity chef, author, and wellness entrepreneur Matthew Kenney, will open the fourth location of his popular pizza concept, Double Zero, as well as Liora, a new restaurant unique to the burgeoning culinary epicenter of Baltimore, MD on July 1, just in time for July 4th weekend.
The MKC team has transformed two adjoining spaces in downtown Baltimore’s Inner Harbor into elegant, comfortable settings in which guests will be able to enjoy famed Double Zero Pizza as well as an elevated take on classic local Baltimore cuisine at Liora, just next door. Expect to see the refined, welcoming environment that MKC is known for, present in every detail of the restaurants.
Liora proposes a beautiful selection of locally sourced fare in a seasonally crafted menu, enriched by an extensive wine list of organic and biodynamic varietals. Kenney and his team have worked to create a menu that is reflective of and pays homage to the local cuisine, with innovative takes on classics such as crab cakes and BBQ dishes, while also incorporating many MKC long-adored dishes. Liora will offer an experience unlike anything else that currently exists in the local market.
Double Zero brings a healthy perspective to the world’s most popular food. The menu allows you to enjoy plant-based pies alongside creative Italian fare and a selection of organic, sustainable, and biodynamic wines.

“Double Zero Pizza offers a healthy, plant-based adaptation of a universally-loved food,” says Matthew Kenney, CEO of MKC. “Using the best dough, honoring traditional styles – while constantly experimenting with new dishes – is what makes it unique… not just in the plant-based market, but the pizza industry as a whole.”
