This jalopy gives good pie. Image: veracipizza.comIf you’re a regular Ballard farmers market shopper, no doubt you’ve tasted the wares emerging from Veraci Pizza’s mobile, wood-fired, thousand degree oven. Whether you select a simple (yet enormous) slice of pepperoni, or a piece topped with roasted veggies, pesto and olives, this thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizza is good eating. Well, their traveling, dome-shaped clay oven is certainly a sight to be seen, parked on the patch of grass adjacent to Ballard Ave. But sometimes you just want to sit with your slice before it spills its contents. And a beer would be nice, too. This family-run, mobile catering company is ready to settle down, and offer — in addition to great pizza — chairs, a roof, and eventually, some local beer to go with. But they’ve got a lot of work to do, as they’ve just got the lease signed (not even two weeks ago) and they have to build the oven. Veraci is moving into a space that used to be a Domino’s, and was more recently occupied by another pizza joint, Paradise Pizza, which closed not too long ago. It seems this location (at 500 N.W. Market Street in Ballard) is going through a pizza upgrade. Veraci Pizza plans to open in July. But until then, check out their calendar, for where to find these purveyors of a great slice. They’ll even come to you.
