What Timber Pizza Company does
Timber Pizza Company is a privately held, founder-owned wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant chain headquartered in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2014 by Andrew Dana and Chris Brady alongside Chef Dani Moreira (a Culinary Institute of America graduate), the company began as a mobile operation using a pizza oven and a '67 Chevy pickup truck and opened its first brick-and-mortar in Petworth, D.C. in 2016. The company operates approximately nine brick-and-mortar restaurants across Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina (Raleigh and Durham), and South Carolina (Charleston), plus a Reagan National Airport location, and is supported by a fleet of four mobile wood-fired pizza trucks (three in the DMV and one in Richmond). Ingredients are sourced through a network of roughly ten local Mid-Atlantic farms and specialty suppliers including Owl's Nest Farm, Love & Carrots, Dicot Farm, Liberty Delight Farm, South Mountain Creamery, and Epic Curing.
The core product is handcrafted 12-inch wood-fired pizzas in signature varieties such as The Shirley, Pretty in Pepperoni, Margherita, and Cheese Please, complemented by empanadas, salads, and seasonal desserts. The technology layer is conventional restaurant tooling — Toast Tab for online ordering and gift cards, DoorDash for delivery, and Blackbird for a rewards program — with no proprietary AI, data, or platform IP disclosed. The company has earned a Michelin Guide recommendation in the D.C. market along with regional best-pizza awards from Eater DC, The Infatuation, Capital Gazette, Indy Week, News Observer, and Post and Courier.
Timber generates revenue through four streams: dine-in and takeout restaurant sales (walk-in only, seven nights a week at most locations), full-service catering for corporate events, weddings, and private parties in D.C., Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Richmond, mobile truck sales at weekly community locations and events, and an emerging franchise fee stream tied to a nationwide franchising program marketed via timberpizzafranchise.com. Customer acquisition is primarily community-driven, with location-specific Instagram accounts, Facebook, LinkedIn, email, earned regional press, and a "Timber Fam" neighborhood-brand emphasis rather than paid performance marketing. Pricing is unit-based and varies by location and item, with promotions such as a weekday "buy 2 pizzas, get 1 free plus a shareable salad for $55" online-only bundle.
