Timber Pizza Co., an acclaimed pizzeria based in Washington, D.C., is set to open its newest location in downtown Charleston in July 2025. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the restaurant, which was previously recognized as Bon Appétit magazine’s Pizzeria of the Year in 2017.

The upcoming restaurant will occupy the space at 741 Meeting Street, in close proximity to other popular dining establishments, including Lewis Barbecue and Edmund’s Oast. The new Charleston location will be the seventh establishment for Timber Pizza Co. across its brand.

Leadership and Operation

Jeremy Waybright, formerly of Tempest, will serve as the operator and chef for the Charleston site. His culinary experience is expected to enhance Timber’s offerings in the local market. The new restaurant aims to deliver a unique dining experience that incorporates the same quality and style Timber is known for.

Historic Roots and Menu Offerings

Founded in 2014 by Andrew Dana and Chris Brady, Timber Pizza Co. originated as a mobile pizza operation, utilizing a wood-burning oven attached to a vintage 1967 blue Chevrolet pickup truck. Their first brick-and-mortar restaurant was established in Petworth, D.C., in 2016, where they began serving their signature Neapolitan-style pizzas.

The menu at Timber Pizza Co. features an array of delicious options, including a variety of Neapolitan pizzas topped with ingredients such as pepperoni, pea shoot pesto, and braised pork. Additionally, the restaurant will offer wood-fired empanadas, salads, cocktails, and local beers to complement the dining experience.

Layout and Atmosphere

The Charleston location will have a welcoming layout, featuring 34 indoor seats and 16 outdoor patio seats. Notably, it will house the largest bar among all Timber locations, designed to attract patrons looking for a lively happy hour spot. Timber Pizza Co. is committed to fostering an environment that is friendly for families, friends, and even pets, making it a popular hangout for various groups.

Long-Awaited Expansion

Charleston has long been a target for Timber Pizza Co.’s expansion efforts, with co-founder Andrew Dana having personal ties to the area through his attendance at the College of Charleston. This connection has added a layer of significance to the restaurant’s opening, symbolizing a homecoming of sorts for the brand’s founders.

Recent Developments

Prior to the Charleston opening, Timber Pizza Co. recently expanded its operations to Maryland, further broadening its presence and brand visibility. The company sees Charleston as a pivotal launching pad for its growth and aims to introduce its unique culinary style to new customers.
