A D.C.-based pizza shop is flipping into the Carolina coast for the first time.
Timber Pizza Co. is bringing its signature pies to Charleston, opening a new location in the North Central District at 741 Meeting St.
“As a Charleston resident and lifelong pizza lover myself, I can’t wait to introduce the Timber difference to my fellow neighbors,” said Jeremy Waybright, Charleston operator and chef at Timber Pizza Co., in a press release. “Whether it’s your family, friends, or just you and your dog – stop in, grab a pizza, crack open a craft beer and enjoy the simple pleasures in life… good people and great pizza.”
The menu features 12-inch green, white and red pies baked in a Marra Forni oven at 650 degrees. In addition to pizza, Timber serves empanadas, salads and desserts.
The 1,755-square-foot space will include a full-service bar, which will be Timber’s largest to date. It will seat 14 guests and be the first thing customers see as they walk in. The rest of the shop will accommodate 34 guests indoors and 16 outdoors on an intimate patio.
The space will feature bench tables, a reclaimed wood design and a Lowcountry-inspired mural created by a local artist.
The shop will be open seven days a week, offering both dine-in and pickup options.
“This is a passion project that has been years in the making, and we couldn’t be happier to be working with Jeremy to bring Timber’s spirit to life in the heart of the Holy City,” said Chris Brady, co-founder and president of Timber Pizza Co., in a release. “Cheers to Charleston for welcoming us with their signature southern hospitality. We can’t wait to serve you a friendly smile and some damn good pizza.”
Timber Pizza Co. began in 2014 when Brady and Andrew Dana spent their off hours working with a pizza oven, a 1967 Chevy pickup truck and a deep love for dough.
According to the press release, Timber selects each new location with the goal of becoming the neighborhood’s favorite spot for wood-fired pizza, creative flavors and good vibes.
The pizzeria has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award and was named Pizzeria of the Year by Bon Appétit.
While an exact date has not been announced, Timber Pizza Co. plans to open its doors in Charleston in July.
