'zaw, one of Ballard's many new pizza purveyors, had its official ribbon-cutting ceremony with members of the Ballard business community Feb. 26.

Greg Waring, owner of 'zaw, said the company, which also has locations in Capitol Hill and South Lake Union, did informal focus groups in various neighborhoods and found that Ballard had a lot of interest from busy professionals who didn't always have time to cook.

'zaw opened for business at 5458 Leary Ave. N.W. in mid-December and specializes in take-and-bake pizzas.
