In our post a few weeks ago about the demise of Paradise Pizza at Market St. and 6th Ave., we asked for your pizza recommendations. Some readers praised Veraci Pizza at the Ballard Farmer’s Market as the “best in Ballard.”
Well, Veraci fans, it looks like your dream is coming true. We just saw a sign on Paradise Pizza’s door that Veraci is moving in later this summer. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Veraci, they’re the folks with the traveling wood-fired pizza oven at the Ballard, Fremont and Bellevue Markets. Now it looks like their pizza will be available weekdays, too.
Update: Veraci Pizza owners Errin & Marshall Jett emailed us back with details. “Yes, we are moving into 500 NW Market and are very excited about it!” they write. “We are going to put in one of our wood-fired pizza ovens as well as some seating for our guests. We will be updating the outside as well with a small outdoor deck & trellis. We plan on selling pizzas whole & by the slice as well as salads, beer & wine, san pellegrino, izze, dry sodas to start.” The plan is to open by mid-July to early August.

One has to ask… did you try Veraci? =)

You might have just made my day. Maybe even my week. Heck, maybe even my month!

We’ve never had it because the line is usually so long, but our friends say it’s the bomb.

It is indeed fantastic, speaking from personal experience.

Yay! Pizza reinforcements are on the way! That makes me happy and I’m also glad that the little building will continue to serve food. Waaaaay before it was Dominoes, back in the 60’s, it was a drive-in called the Curly Cone. I think there’s been a restaurant in that space ever since.

Finally GOOD pizza in walking distance! Really looking forward to having them in my little part of the ‘hood!

I’m with the Swedes. Saw it at the market but too long a line and it looked like slices were in the range of $4.50. I wish them the best and am all in favor of people making a go at it with a good product.

This is the ONLY pizza in Seattle worthy of the name. The thin crust is just marvelous, like nothing else in town. Hurrah!

Sounds good! It would be nice if Veraci could find a place in the heart of Market Street or Ballard Ave. Maybe thats their next move.

Will they deliver?
“slices were in the range of $4.50.”
Perfect with my $4 coffee!

4.50 is the top end, 3.75 for the cheese, iirc. And the line does tend to move fast… and the slices are large too….
Or, get to the market at 11 and there’s no line =)
It is worth the line, believe me.

I saw around 3pm today they were moving some of the wood-fire ovens inside out of the back of a truck.
