Pizza By Ruffin is the first Black-owned pizzeria in Washington state, run by wife and husband Colleen Constant and Isaiah Ruffin. They are also proudly woman-owned and veteran-owned. Passionate about bringing the rich and diverse flavors of the black diaspora to the forefront of their Roman-style pizza al taglio, their journey began with a short school bus cranking out wood-fired pizza. Their core values revolve around social responsibility, environmental quality, and while also being financially viable. They serve lunchtime Roman-style pizza, selling slices in the heart of South Lake Union in Seattle
