After a year of renovations, permits and inspections, Timber Pizza Co. (809 Upshur St NW), is finally ready to open up later this week. Friday and Saturday night they're holding closed parties for friends and family to help shake out the process of going from a food truck to a restaurant.

Timber owners Andrew Dana and Chris Brady are excited to open. They've poured their hearts into the restaurant, and focused on trying to meet the needs of the neighborhood, from big details to the little ones (check out the wallpaper in the bathroom when you get a chance). From what I saw tonight, Timber Pizza looks like it's going to be great.

From one restaurant closing to new ones opening, Upshur Street continues to change.
