Timber Pizza Co., a popular pizza franchise, is set to enhance Durham’s dining scene with the opening of its second North Carolina location. Scheduled to launch in December 2023, this new establishment will be located within the Wye Junction development at the intersection of Corporation and Washington Street.
The restaurant will occupy a spacious 2,000-square-foot area in the historic Durham City Garage. Known for its Neapolitan-style pizzas, Timber Pizza Co. offers a unique dining experience that blends quality food with a vibrant atmosphere. In addition to pizza, the menu features empanadas and salads, appealing to a wide range of tastes.
Creating a Unique Atmosphere
According to Kathleen Sears, co-owner of the Durham location, what distinguishes Timber is not just its food, but the overall feel of the environment. “Every location has a little of that ‘90s summer camp meets neighborhood hangout feel — from the cozy bar setup to the playlist spinning in the background,” Sears stated. She noted that the Wye Junction location aims to reflect the warmth and community spirit of downtown Durham from the moment guests enter.
Wye Junction is situated in Durham’s Warehouse District, a popular area known for its lively atmosphere. The development already hosts several local businesses, including Bull City Running Co., Atomic Brewing Co., and Plum Southern Kitchen. This central location is also surrounded by a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars along West Geer Street, making it a prime spot for both locals and visitors.
Expanding Reach in North Carolina
Timber Pizza Co. opened its first North Carolina restaurant in Raleigh just last year. The franchise originally began in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, D.C., and has since gained a loyal following. The decision to expand into Durham reflects the brand’s commitment to bringing its signature style and flavors to a broader audience.
As the opening date approaches, many in the community are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Timber Pizza Co. in Durham. The combination of quality food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a prime location positions the restaurant to become a favorite among local diners.
The new Timber Pizza Co. location promises to bring a fresh dining option to downtown Durham, ensuring that residents and visitors alike have a new spot to enjoy delicious pizza and more in the heart of the city.
