you know what food hardly EVER has fish on it??? pizza. pizza is a safe food for us fish haters, i would say. i can't remember the last time i asked someone what they wanted on their pizza and listened to them proclaim "scallops!" "shrimp!" or the most probable possibility: "anchovies!"
seattle isn't known for its pizza like chicago or new york. but my recent experience at veraci pizza makes me think it should be. the small eatery, located on market street in ballard is cozy, quick, simple, and churns out some of the tastiest pizza i have ever tasted. the pizza powerhouse started out as a travelling wood-fired pizza oven and has permanent locations in portland, spokane, bend, and couer d'alene.
if you're like me when it comes to my pizza--it's all about the crust and the cheese. i'm definitely a thin crust type of gal and veraci seriously delivers a seriously thin crust. it's crispy yet chewy and has just the right amount of large slice fold-ability. and the cheese, my friends, is to die for. there is just the right amount of meltiness, but without the pesky slippery factor that some thin crust pizzas have.
the menu is pretty standard, but there is specials that pop up different every day. whether pepperoni, veggie, or margherita is your thing--you'll find it ready for you at veraci. on my visit i had the special, called the salumi mole. a delicious spicy salami, green onion, and an herbed beecher's flagship cheese rounded out the cast on quite a delicious pie. i suggest you get your fishless self over there sometime soon or visit the woodfire grill itself at the ballard sunday farmer's market!
oh, yeah, and you can also get salad. but, come on, with that pizza slice staring at you it might be a little hard to finish it.
