In a recent episode of The Day with Trae, guest host Deontay Damper sat down with Isaiah Ruffin, the Co-Owner of Pizza By Ruffin, Washington state's first Black-owned pizzeria. Ruffin shared the inspiring story behind the business, which began with a bus and a pizza oven. Combining these elements sparked a dream that led to the creation of the pizzeria. Ruffin emphasized the importance of not only using high-quality ingredients but also the value of great people in both the making of the pizza and the overall business operation.

Pizza By Ruffin isn't just about serving food; it's about creating something meaningful. Ruffin spoke passionately about the mission of the pizzeria, which is to feed the community today while planting the seeds for future generations. The goal is to provide more than just a meal — it’s about nourishing the soul, forging connections, and uplifting the community.
