The Washington, D.C.-based pizza brand is expanding into Georgia while strengthening its footprint across Virginia and Maryland through a steady pipeline of franchise development.
- Timber Pizza Co. debuts in Georgia with locations in Alpharetta and Cumming.
- Richmond and Alexandria locations in development amidst Mid-Atlantic expansion.
- Established footholds in McLean and Annapolis bolster regional growth.
Timber Pizza Co. is continuing its measured expansion strategy with a series of new franchise developments that will extend the brand's reach across both the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The Washington, D.C.-based pizza company has announced plans to enter Georgia for the first time with future locations in Alpharetta and Cumming, while additional restaurants are scheduled to open in Richmond, Virginia, and Alexandria as development continues throughout 2026 and into 2027.
The expansion reflects a deliberate approach to market selection rather than rapid nationwide growth. Timber Pizza has already established successful locations in McLean, Virginia, and Annapolis, Maryland, providing a foundation for further development throughout Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, Hampton Roads, and neighboring communities. The company continues to prioritize neighborhoods where its community-focused dining experience aligns with local demand for high-quality, chef-inspired pizza.
According to Cofounder Chris Brady, the company's momentum is driven by more than new real estate opportunities. Timber Pizza has continued investing in operational improvements that give franchisees greater visibility into business performance while supporting long-term profitability. Those investments are complemented by menu innovation and a brand philosophy centered on hospitality, quality ingredients, and creating gathering places that feel connected to the communities they serve.
The company's growth also reflects increasing confidence among franchise operators looking for scalable restaurant concepts supported by modern operating systems. By combining refined operational processes with strong franchise support, Timber Pizza is positioning itself for sustainable regional expansion while maintaining consistency across both new and established markets.

With new restaurants planned across Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland, Timber Pizza Co. is entering its next stage of development with a clear focus on disciplined growth rather than rapid expansion. By combining thoughtful market selection, operational improvements, and strong franchise partnerships, the company continues building a regional restaurant brand designed for long-term success while preserving the neighborhood identity that has defined it since its beginnings.
