Andrew is D.C.’s king of carbs + chief dough boi, and is the founder and co-owner of multiple award-winning restaurants, Timber Pizza Co., Turus Pizza, and Call Your Mother (a Jew-ish deli). In 2010 he left D.C. to attend business school at Fordham University, where studying and researching NY-style slices culminated into his capstone project: creating a pizza shop. Andrew opened Timber Pizza in Petworth in June of 2016. Andrew’s first concept has received national acclaim and multiple awards, including being named a 2019 Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand award-winner. Two years later, Call Your Mother Jew-ish deli was born. Inspired in part by Andrew’s Jew-ish background and a dream to open a deli, the wood-fired shop infuses Jewish influence while flipping traditional deli staples on their head. Call your mother has received national recognition from the likes of the Washington Post and was recently named one of Eater’s Best New Restaurants in America. Andrew is inspired by the unique neighborhoods that make up D.C. and his restaurants are a reflection of the communities he’s grown to love. Andrew continues to be motivated by the desire to create authentic, yet unexpected concepts, menus, and spaces that, of course, pay homage to his love of carbs.
