US-based Timber Pizza is set to enter Georgia through a new franchise development agreement for the Atlanta metropolitan area.

The new deal will see the opening of two outlets in Alpharetta and Cumming markets.

The first restaurant is expected to open between late 2026 and early 2027, with a second site to follow.

Timber Pizza co-founder Chris Brady said: “Atlanta is a dynamic, fast-growing city with a deep appreciation for great food and local businesses.

“We're excited to partner with someone who not only understands the market but who is also committed to creating spaces where people can gather and connect. That local passion is a huge part of what makes Timber special.”

The expansion forms part of Timber Pizza’s ongoing push across the south-eastern US, as it seeks to broaden its footprint in the country.

Timber Pizza CEO Luke Watson said: “Entering the market is an important step as we continue to grow beyond our core markets.

“We're focused on partnering with operators who bring both business acumen and a genuine investment in their communities.

“This deal reflects that balance, and we're looking forward to seeing Timber become part of Atlanta's vibrant dining scene.”

In February, Timber Pizza unveiled franchise plans to deepen its East Coast presence, with a focus on Virginia. As part of the move, new sites were put into development in Alexandria and Richmond.

The Richmond unit is set to open by the end of this year, with Alexandria to follow.
