Timber Pizza Co. Petworth
Wood-Fired Pies on Upshur Street
The margherita and pepperoni anchor a menu that regulars work through slowly, one specialty pie at a time. Ingredients read as a step up from the average neighborhood pizza counter, and the room leans casual with seasonal decor that makes it a comfortable weeknight stop rather than a destination order. Service is patient with first-timers still deciding what to order.
Timber Pizza Co. at 809 Upshur Street NW in Petworth, Washington, DC, bakes pies in a wood-fired oven, and diners describe a light, fluffy crust with leopard spotting on the bottom that shows a good bake. Regulars say the crust and the range of toppings make the pizza stand out.
The Shirley, with provolone, mozzarella, and pesto and tomato drizzles, is a frequent order, and The Bentley has a following among diners who usually skip carbs. Pepperoni with honey spice, and cheese pies with pineapple, jalapenos, and Peruvian sweet peppers, show how far the toppings go. Salads, empanadas, and desserts round out the menu, and draft beer is poured.
Practical notes: Timber caters weddings and private events with a mobile oven, and event hosts praise the tasting and the coordination. One diner found toppings sparse on a custom pie, and another felt delivery orders arrived below dine-in quality, so ordering direct for pickup is the safer route. Check closing time before arriving late.
