"Tucked away as a lunch counter in the Fairview Market Hall in South Lake Union, this spot serves rectangular Roman-style pies with firm, charred-but-not-crispy crusts and toppings drawn from the flavors of the African diaspora. Husband-and-wife team Isaiah Ruffin and Colleen Constant say it’s the first Black-owned pizzeria in Washington State; standout combinations include doro wat (a spiced East African chicken stew), sweet pepper jam with funky goat cheese, gumbo, and a vegan West African stew loaded with paprika-esque spice. No one else is doing pizza like this, but maybe more people should." - Harry Cheadle
