First off, Timber Pizza Co is situated in the center of Ballston Quarter's mall court, a very different vibe from its Petworth cousin. I ordered a Margherita pizza for $13 and was not disappointed. It is a personal size pizza with 6 slices. To be clear, the pizza is high quality with fluffy dough and flavorful tomato sauce. The basil leaves were generous. The only reason for 4 stars was that there was so little mozzarella on this guy! For the pricepoint, you'd hope for a bit more. The mozzarella also is self contained so when it's gone, you feel like you are eating a marinara pizza... which isn't fun. So if you are a cheese lover, would pass. read more

We've had Timber pizza out of their Mclean location but we haven't tried their empanadas...but have wanted to! Ordered it as a quick snack to share because at 3 for $10 it's a pretty good price in this food hall. The service was fine, though a little slow. Wasn't sure if this was made on the spot or just heated up, but they seemed to struggle with the timing (it's quite charred), so I wouldn't recommend if you like charred. Also worth mentioning that calling this an "empanadas" is a bit of a stretch given it's made out of pizza dough rather than a crispier flaky dough. The brisket inside was very tasty (and the main thing I wanted to try as I know they collaborate with others on it), but the pineapple chutney sauce? Not what I expected. It was like a sweet curry with a pineapple aftertaste :/ I was definitely expecting a more tangy or spicy sauce to go with the brisket and felt the sauce was a miss. read more

Representing 2023, T is for Timber Pizza. Sometime in the late 2010's, Ballston Mall was remodeled to Ballston Quarter, which is a cool food hall. I ate in the food hall a couple of times including trying Timber Pizza in August 2023. A friend was in town and staying with another friend of ours, who lives in Ballston, Arlington. I got a mushroom pizza, one of their creations, and it was great. Staff was nice, and it was worth the wait and not a total rip-off. Thinking about, it's my favorite pizza I've had in Arlington except for perhaps Wiseguy's Pizza, which is pizza by the slice, but definitely best of whole pizza. read more

No idea about their pizza, but their empanadas are not worth it. I ordered 3 pork for $10. Mine were slightly burned and had something stringy inside that wasn't mentioned on the menu. I wasn't a fan of the sauce either...it was slightly sweet. Very unimpressed. read more

My friend and I grabbed dinner at Ballston Quarter this past Tuesday. We both ordered a pizza from Timber Pizza Co. Even though I have walked by this vendor countless times, it was my first time trying. My friend is a huge fan of the pizza here, so I knew it had to be decent. MARGHERONI - 14 This is the Margherita with pepperoni. Unfortunately, they didn't have basil, which makes half of what a Margherita pizza is. I thought the pizza was decent, seeing that I wolfed down 5/6 slices within 20 minutes.. The crust was good and chewy enough for me to eat it instead of leaving it behind. The pepperoni was on the greasier side. The mozzarella cheese was pretty standard. Overall, it was a solid meal, but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

This is a solid, fairly priced lunch option in the extremely overpriced Ballston Quarter mall. I got a personal pepperoni pizza that was delicious and filling for $14. Service was friendly, and my pizza was out in 5 minutes. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if I was in the area and in need of food, I'd definitely stop by for lunch. read more

Timber Pizza - Pretty in Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This Timber is hidden belowground in a mall food court, and lacks the charm of the Petworth original. The basic ingredients are the same, and there is plenty of quality there, Ordering a pizza with some Peruvian sweet peppers was wise; I don't know where you can buy those things but they are delightful. However, it was an awfully small pizza. My salad had some interesting puffed grains and was worth getting. However, I was not thrilled with the overall amount of food for the money. If you're in the area, sure it's a good pizza. But I'd rather go to Petworth or go somewhere else for a really top-notch experience. read more

I have heard about this place and decided to finally try it out. It is on the lower level with all the other food places. We decided to get the bentley and I would say if you are hungry one pizza is good, if not splitting is fine. The wood fired pizza is great crust so I would rate the pizza an 8.2. I would get pizza again there if I was in the area. read more

4.5 stars! Had the margarita pizza here twice and loved it both times. Probably one of my favorite Neapolitan style pizzas in the area and very impressive that they are located in a mall food court. Tomato sauce was nice and sweet, the dough had the right crisp. Great service as well. The staff handed out free cookies to people in line. Maybe they made too much for the day/were closing soon? Either way, greatly appreciated. Will be back for more za! read more

The pizza was pretty good! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The size is a good size for a personal pizza. The taste was yummy but nothing exceptional. The dough was a little too doughy for my liking; could have used a tad bit more time in the oven. I got a Pretty in Pepperoni and added mushrooms. Next time I will try their specialty creations! read more

Update: The wood-fired pizza has really gone downhill. The last 2 times hubby and I were here, the pizzas were heavily coated in grease. After 1 slice I threw in the towel. Not sure if the staff changed? We really enjoyed coming earlier this year with the convenient Ballston location and could save ourselves the trip into DC to Timber Pizza. Quality control has become a serious issue and we'll have to drive to Pentworth if we're craving pizza! read more

Turu's is conveniently located smack dab in the center of the Ballston Quarter food court space. I got the Margheroni pizza (margherita pizza with pepperoni) and it far surpassed my expectations. They offer quick, individual-sized pizzas that are ready in five minutes. I expected a decent, quick bite, but I was surprised that their pizza is actually among the best in the area. I suspect that if I put it in a side by side taste test with Pupatella or Lupo Marino, those might win, but their pizza game is in that league rather than the typical quick serve league. They have bottle sodas sweetened with sugar cane. The service was very polite, and when they said the pizza would take five minutes, they were right. Five, not six. I also noticed that they kindly stayed a few minutes late when a little girl ran up a few minutes after closing really wanting pizza to make it for her. Solid team! It's hard to imagine how they could have been better! read more

Located in the food court in Ballston...i feel like I shouldn't call it a food court, Its more upscale than that. Multiple restaurant space? Elevated food area? Whatever. Anyway, located where there's a bunch of other food options, I picked this place because they said it would take 5 mins for a pizza. I got the Pretty in Pepperoni and a san pellegrino. It didn't take 5 mins, it was more like 8, but still, pretty fast to get a pizza. Pizza was good, there was a decent amount of pepperoni to go around (lets say 3-4 per slice), lil bit of grease and decent amount of cheese. Cant go wrong with that. read more

Yeah, it's too good to be TURU! We tried pizzas from their special menu for this Memorial day's weekend: Veggie Supreme La Chula Pizza The blend of Mozzarella and Provolone cheese on both the pizzas was EXCELLENT! Loved the flavor of Spicy Apple Sauce over the La Chula. Definitely enhanced the taste! SO GOOOOD! Definitely gonna visit again soon! read more

The story behind this pizzeria is very true. Their dedication to dough is demonstrable in the taste and the quality. I highly recommend.

So happy this place came in! Cheese pizza is superb especially if you like doughy pizza. It's a personal pan size so a bit small especially because it's so delicious. Will be a regular customer! read more

I was milling around the Ballston food court and the pizza smelled so good I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Bentley which has tomato sauce, provolone and mozzarella blend, cured chorizo, soppressata, Peruvian sweet peppers, spicy honey. The sweet and savory combination is unbeatable. I want a whole jar of those Peruvian peppers! The pizza also came out quickly and service was fast. I'll definitely be going back again. read more

When I placed an order for a cheese pizza with no sauce and spinach, I initially wasn't expecting much in comparison to a lot of the other specialty white pizza's that I've tried in the past, but Turu's has mastered the art of simplicity when it comes to pizza. The crust on the pizza was delectably light and had just the right amount of chew in its bite! The cheese was wonderfully stretchy and not overly greasy. I would come back to the Quarter Market solely for this pizza! read more

Pizza, pizza, pizza!!! Turu's has some of the best pizza I have had to date!! Word to the wise, look at the whole menu and the specials before you order to make sure you are not missing anything or having an ah ha moment wishing you would of ordered something else. Your pzza of choice is made and cooked to order in front of you so you can see the process from start to finish. Watch them dress your pizza then slide it into the wood burning oven as your mouth waters with anticipation of the final product. The pizza was fantastic!! I am a lover of fresh mozzy on anything and my pizza is no exception. The pizza was pipping hot, the crust the right level of crispy and the cheese was melted, like melted melted. Playing it safe, pepperoni was the choice but I will be back to try some of the combos they have to offer. Staff was super friendly as everyone greeted you and all had smiles on their faces, you can tell they enjoyed the moment they were in. The wait is not overly long as they are super efficient and if you are unsure if you will eat it all in one sitting, get it to go so its already in a box. read more

Located in the middle of the Ballston Quarter food hall. It is definitely a hot spot down there, they are always busy making those pizzas fresh! My son got his pick and got the Cheese Please. We all loved the fresh pizza. Big slices and foldable! The location is great since we can also check out the other restaurants in the food hall, or even take the food outside to the tables and little park area they have. My little yelper says "thats a five star pizza!" read more

Not great. Dough is dry, sauce is bland, toppings are barely there. One of our pizzas (basic margherita), the basil leaves were just tossed to one side of the pizza. Not even in the cheese, just an ornamental addition to one side. Guy at the counter told several of us he would call our names when ready. Never did, got up there and made a comment and his response was, they're all there, you have to come grab them. Not the directions we were given! Skip this place in Quarters. read more

Turu's is to Timber Pizza Company as Adonis is to Drake. When I found out about their love child popping up in Ballston Quarter I knew that I had to check it out and pay tribute. The menu is quite edited here but luckily they have my two favorite items the Green Goddess and the Bentley on the menu (pro tip: you can go half and half on the pizzas). I asked for a to-go box but I quickly regretted wasting so much cardboard because this literally is the perfect personal pizza size. I ate the whole thing and didn't feel like I needed to unbuckle any notches on my belt afterwards. Service is friendly and the pizza is perfectly wood fired and tasty. The only way to improve is if they added some of their famous Call Your Mother bagels to their breakfast menu. Smell ya later! read more

I enjoy Turu's, which makes sense since I love Timber. I typically get the cheese pizza and add kale, green peppers, and basil. I love that they offer vegetable toppings. The pizza is always tasty and it's usually ready fairly quickly, which is appreciated. Glad to have a good nearby pizza option. read more

Knowing this place is an offshoot of Timber, I had to try this place. Really hard to miss since it has a huge neon sign and the large pizza oven in the middle of the floor. It's a pretty condensed menu with 4 of their regular pizzas and 1-2 specials and also 1-2 salads. Went for the Bentley because I had it before at Timber and I loved it. The process was super fast even though there were a few people ahead of us. The pizza is in and out of the oven in what seems like seconds. It tasted great obviously. Was spicy and sweet and the crust was perfect. Not too charred and was almost like a cracker. One of the top Neapolitan pies around. Only thing is I would avoid this place during the lunch rush because It's swamped during lunch. I went late afternoon on a Saturday so it wasn't too bad. read more

Excellent ingredients make excellent pizzas. You can taste the difference! They don't skimp on the gourmet toppings. They are the best at hand tossed and artisan crafted pizzas! The crust is sturdy to hold the toppings but not too thick or chewy and is soft and actually makes me enjoy it. The sauce is the perfect amount and has a nice robust flavor. Simple menu, simple ordering and ready so quickly. Perfect price point that won't break the bank. The staff is amazingly friendly and efficient. Definitely will continue eating here!!! read more

So far I only tried their cheese pizza, but it was among the best pizza that I have had in a while. It tastes like a New York style pizza. The people who work there seem nice as well. Not to mention that they also have plant-based disposable plastic forks, knives, and spoons that are compostable (biodegradable)... and the napkin and wrapper are compostable as well. Anything that is good for the environment gets a big plus in my book! Even the water that they have comes in a compostable container. I may try some of their other pizza flavors in the future. Update: I tried their pepperoni pizza, and I was just as satisfied! read more

I decided to try Turu's for the first time and ordered through the caviar app. Pizza didn't take too long and arrived warm. I'd recommend they apply a sticker or something to seal the box to let us know it wasn't opened or tampered with during delivery. Pizza was pretty good. Not greasy at all and the crust was fairly light. I'm not the biggest fan of provolone cheese, so next time I think I'll try another pizza. But, it was still quite tasty! read more

I'm happy that Turu is still doing pickups and delivery through the Caviar app. If you haven't been able to go up to Timber pizza in Petworth, definitely check out its cousin Turu in Ballston. They have a fairly limited menu but you can't go wrong with any of the personal size pizzas you choose. I chose the green monster that has a pesto sauce, kale, mozzarella, and zucchini. It made me feel like I was being healthy while eating pizza. Just a note about the personal size pizzas. They are being enough to theoretically split between two people but only if you have a supplemental side to accompany the pizza. Otherwise I recommend getting one per person if you're feeling pretty hungry. Make this place one of your staples during the quarantine! read more

You wouldn't normally expect much from a food court pizza joint, but as you probably already know if you've been here before as Quarter Market is hardly a normal food court. Turu's serves up fresh, delicious, artisan-style personal pies and after one experience I'm a huge fan! With a daughter named Penelope, I had to try their Penelope pie which came topped with pesto, mushrooms, bacon galore, and fresh melty mozzarella. It was delicious and I essentially inhaled the entire thing (my 2.5 yo pizza namesake happily demolished her slice, too!) I also got to try the plain cheese pizza which was bright and very tasty as well. Looking forward to more wood-fired deliciousness at Turu's in the future! read more

This is a great hangout place by Ballston Quarter. They have a great selection of pizzas and their service staff are very quick to get your order. Me and my wife tried the pepperoni (seen on the photo) and it was a lot of pepperoni. It was hot and fresh! Price was fair and you also get to experience the hustle and bustle of Ballston Quarter. You can take the pizza also outside and dine out. There are plenty of outside tables and a huge chess game on the floor. I would love to come back and try the rest of the pizzas! read more

Timber Pizza - Pretty in Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Seriously good pizza! I got the pepperoni without looking at all of their other options (one of which included spicy honey- I have to try that sometime). The pizza is cooked right in front of you in a wood-fired oven. The wait time wasn't too long. The pizza was hot and crispy. I will definitely be back to try another pizza (with that spicy honey ). I also got a salad (which oddly took longer than the pizza). I probably won't get another salad here. I got their fall salad which included arugula, shaved radishes, roasted sweet potatoes, toasted pumpkin seeds, za'atar and a beet vinaigrette. It was kind of an odd salad and had no crunch. Everything was kind of the same texture. I'm not sure toasted sweet potato is good on a salad unless it's countered with some crisp apple slices or something. I didn't really taste the za'atar. All around an interesting idea for a salad but I'll probably stick to the pizza next time! read more

Turu's By Timber Pizza was a fine decent pizza, but for the price point I expected more. I ordered the Penelope pizza, which had bacon, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, pesto, and smoked paprika. It smelled amazing and I was expecting a flavor bomb of flavors. The slices felt flimsy and it was a bit soggy. The flavor combo was surprisingly mellow. I needed to add Parmesan, oregano, and garlic salt to punch up the flavor. For a 10 inch pizza to cost $16 after tax and tip, I was def expecting more. The crust was def tasty, not to hard and a bit chewy. Maybe I didn't order the right combo of flavors, but I wasn't wowed. Or maybe I need to try the OG location, Timber Pizza to get it right. With all the food options at Ballston Quarter, it'll be a while before I give Turu's by Timber Pizza another shot. read more

Seeing that Timber Pizza Co. has a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide, I knew I had to check this spot out. DC in general has a dearth of good pizza places, so any place that's highly recommended is worth checking out. Unfortunately, I haven't yet had a chance to visit their parent location. One thing I immediately liked, which I think is crucial for every good pizza place, is that a regular cheese pie and a pepperoni one are the first 2 things on the menu. Places should be judged on how well they do the classics, so it's nice seeing them take that to heart. There's also a good variety of other toppings which really interested me. They allow you to do half-and-half style pies, so I opted for half of the Bentley and half of one of the specials (I forgot what it was called but it had pulled pork, caramelized onions, and peppers). Overall it was very solid. The spicy honey on the Bentley was probably my favorite topping, but the special was great too! Other than Wiseguy (which I think serves the best accessible pizza in the DMV), this place has some of the best pizza around. read more

If you have Celiac like me, please don't eat here. The gluten-free crust was too crispy on the outside while soggy and not fully baked on the inside, but that's not the worst part. Somehow the tomato sauce BURNED while the crust was soggy. I thought the slices tasted weird and I figured, "eh, I just don't like the way they do it, it's not my thing," but on the second to last slice I couldn't get over how little sauce I was tasting so I pulled back the cheese and found the layer below was black. Just totally charred, burnt sauce. I'm going to assume positive intent and that it was horribly burnt tomato sauce because the other alternative of it being mold is even more horrifying. (It didn't look like mold; I really think it was burnt tomato sauce but I'm only about 85% sure of that.) Now, not every slice was as horribly burned as in the pictures, but the non-burned slices had barely any sauce left. It's almost a joke to say it had tomato sauce. In short, I wouldn't go back again. Even if the burnt tomato sauce was a fluke, the crust was soggy and the semi-burned and non-burned slices hardly had any sauce. read more

First time trying Turu's and it was great quality! We ordered several pies for a work event. I tried the cheese pizza, veggie supreme, and the La Chula (pineapple, sausage, jalapenos, white cheese, other ingredients). The tomato sauce was super good, and overall was delicious. The crust isn't super crunchy but it was good enough to hold its own. The cheese was delectably melted - great ratio of sauce to cheese. The slices were rather small and I felt like if I were hungry enough I could eat a whole pie on my own.. (or at least split a pie with one other person), although I'm not sure if you can personalize sizes. Regardless, it was worth it and I'm a fan! read more
