Timber Pizza Co. Adds Two Maryland Locations to Expansion Map

The expansion leverages the McDonnells' deep ties to Montgomery County, where Carolyn grew up. Kyle McDonnell, co-owner of the Old Line Golf Club in Annapolis, brings a background in the hotel franchise sector to the partnership. Their relationship with the wood-fired pizza chain began years ago when the company catered the opening of their golf club, eventually evolving into a formal business agreement.

Timber Pizza has established a presence in the DMV through its mobile catering operations at festivals and private events, creating a foundation of brand recognition. Company president Chris Brady noted that the selection of the McDonnells aligns with the firm’s strategy of partnering with local operators who prioritize community-focused hospitality. The new franchisees are currently scouting sites in the Chevy Chase and Bethesda markets with the support of the corporate real estate team.
