Neapolitan-ish pizzas with unique toppings & Argentine empanadas
"Former Eater Young Gun Daniela Moreira works wonders with her wood-fired oven in the close quarters of this neighborhood spot in Petworth, producing specialty pies with ingredients like cured chorizo, beef bolognese, roasted sweet potatoes, and kale. The small dining room opens at 5 p.m. Weekend breakfast starting at 8 a.m. brings on wood-fired empanadas and bagels from popular sibling spot Call Your Mother deli. There’s also a Timber offshoot in an airport (DCA) and in Ballston’s Quarter Market food hall, called Turu’s, that sells sturdier pizzas closer to a New York-style pie. Order pickup online. Timber just made its anticipated Annapolis debut this week." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"When a food truck gets a brick-and-mortar location, it’s usually because it’s damn good at what it does (or some enterprising chef won big at National Harbor). In the case of this former food truck with a shop in Petworth, "damn good" means they're currently making DC’s best pizza. Grab-and-go is the name of the game here—there’s only a cramped back bar and a couple of indoor picnic tables typically filled with families wrangling excited kids. The thin pizzas are all saucy with carefully paired toppings, like The Bentley, a salty-sweet pie with chorizo, sopressa, juicy Peruvian sweet peppers, and a spicy honey that adds a little kick." - tristiana hinton
"WASHINGTON DC DC isn’t known for being a pizza town, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find great pies here. Timber Pizza Company, a former food truck, is currently making DC’s best. There’s only a cramped back bar and a couple of indoor picnic tables typically filled with families wrangling excited kids, but the thin pizzas are all saucy with carefully paired toppings. Get the Bentley, a salty-sweet pie with chorizo, sopressa, juicy Peruvian sweet peppers, and a spicy honey that adds a little kick." - team infatuation
"Since day one of Timber Pizza and Call Your Mother, we told our employees to see working with us as a startup rather than a restaurant, and that they could grow with us as much as they wanted to." - Morgan Goldberg
"Now with multiple locations, Timber Pizza Co is a popular neighborhood hangout that's always buzzing. It's first-come, first-serve here, where you'll likely spy a never-ending stack of to-go orders being whisked out the door. So, what’s all the fuss about? It’s the flavorful cooking, of course. A few bites into the Griffin salad and it’s clear this kitchen knows how to handle itself. Those in the know order a half and half to explore the wide variety of pizzas, available in red, white or green sauce pies. You can't go wrong with a classic Neapolitan-style pizza with puréed tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella and thick pepperoni coins, but choose The Lot for a sauce-less pie topped with shredded braised pork, shaved bread, butter jalapeños and a sweet and spicy pineapple chups." - Michelin Inspector
