Charleston, South Carolina is set to welcome its first Timber Pizza Co. location in July 2025. This celebrated pizzeria, which has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating, will be situated at 741 Meeting Street in the city’s North Central District.
Jeremy Waybright, a longtime resident of Charleston and an enthusiast for artisanal pizza, will take on the role of operator and chef for the new branch. Waybright has expressed his eagerness to bring the unique offerings of Timber Pizza to the local community, emphasizing an inviting atmosphere for pizza lovers to gather and enjoy a variety of craft beers alongside the pizzeria’s signature wood-fired pizzas.
The upcoming Timber Pizza Co. location will showcase its well-known menu, featuring wood-fired 12-inch pizzas that are cooked in a Marra Forni oven at an impressive 650 degrees. Among the diverse options, customers can look forward to flavors like The Penelope, which combines pesto, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, and smoked paprika; the classic Margherita with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil; as well as The Shirley, a blend of provolone and mozzarella topped with pesto, jalapenos, and cured chorizo.
In addition to its pizza offerings, the Charleston establishment will include a full-service bar, providing patrons with local beers and spirits. The restaurant will occupy a space of 1,755 square feet, featuring seating for 34 indoors and an additional 16 on an outdoor patio. A 14-seat bar will complement the main dining area, and the restaurant will operate seven days a week to serve diners in the heart of Charleston.
The expansion of Timber Pizza Co. into Charleston marks an important milestone for the brand, which has become known for quality and innovation in the pizza industry since it was founded in 2014 by Andrew Dana and Chris Brady in Washington, D.C. The company began as a mobile pizza operation, utilizing a wood-burning oven installed in a vintage 1967 Chevrolet pickup truck, before establishing its first permanent location in D.C.’s Petworth neighborhood in 2016. Since then, Timber has expanded to seven locations across the United States, with Charleston being the first foray into South Carolina.
According to Chris Brady, the co-founder and president of Timber Pizza Co., bringing the brand to Charleston has been a passion project that has taken years to come to fruition. The team aims to create a welcoming environment that fosters community engagement and serves as a lively destination for both happy hours and everyday dining.
As the opening date approaches, locals can anticipate an exciting addition to Charleston’s vibrant food scene, where Timber Pizza Co. hopes to become a favorite spot for both residents and visitors. The combination of high-quality ingredients, a variety of menu options, and a focus on local beverages is designed to appeal to a broad audience, further enriching the culinary landscape of Charleston.
