Last Sunday I stopped by Celebrate Petworth, that neighborhood’s festival on Upshur Street, and it was a lot of fun. One thing I noticed was that Timber Pizza Co., the wood-fired pizza joint that’s been a pop-up at the former Blind Dog Cafe and elsewhere around town, was almost finished 809 Upshur.
Timber had an oven on a truck outside their building and I talked briefly with some staff there and they said they hoped to open in about three weeks. Good news for pizza fans! Judging from their Instagram, it looks like pretty fantastic pizza.
They’re a few doors down from Domku, which you may have heard is sadly closing after a massive rent hike.
Here’s Timber’s Facebook page and website.
Update: As a commenter pointed out, this building is owned by the same person who owns Domku (and aised their rent.)
