Veraci Pizza (www.veracipizza.com) (500 NW Market St; Seattle, WA)
There are some pretty primo pizza places in Seattle — Piecoras, Paglicacci and many, many more. Veraci doesn’t quite have the advantage that most establishments have like a popular character (the Noid, anyone?) But what Veraci lacks in flimsy commercial characters, jingles or a gaudy location (they mostly operate at farmers markets and festivals and have a singular store in Seattle), they make up for in having really awesome pie.
Veraci Pizza is wood-fired. And not wood-fired beforehand, frozen and microwaved; they have a giant wood stove in a parking lot (in this case, the Ballard Farmers Market) and cooked a delicious pizza pie. Flawless.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Seattle or Portland (and occasionally Bend, OR), you can find a Veraci stand scheduled on their website.
