Pizza By Ruffin serves Roman-style pizza al taglio — pizza by the cut — out of a storefront on Fairview Avenue in South Lake Union. It's chef-owned and operated by wife and husband Colleen Constant and Isaiah Ruffin, who started the business on a short school bus in Colorado before landing in Washington and eventually opening their first brick-and-mortar.
The menu highlights flavors from the Black diaspora, with toppings like Jamaican curry and mushroom alongside locally sourced, globally inspired vegetarian options. Local beer and wine round out the counter.
The Infatuation scored it 7.8, and regulars describe a small, hands-on operation known for creative topping combinations and consistent, quality ingredients.
