There is no more welcome sight on a crisp fall day than a pizza oven.

Last weekend I was wandering through the Ballard market with Sheela, when I discovered Veraci Pizza. Set off to the side near the coffee place, they have the pizza oven fiery hot and a line to show it.

Ballard market is one of my favorite places in the falls. Probably because of its wealth of deciduous trees. Crunching through the leaves feels like fall to me.

But the produce is also just so beautiful in the fall, those ruby beets and rainbow radishes.

I ordered a vegetarian and had to wait an extra 15 minutes as they had just put it in. Fresh from the oven pizza, a touch of char on the bottom, kalamata olives, feta, roasted peppers. It hit the spot.

Right now they’re just in the markets (Ballard, Fremont, Phinney, Mercer Island), though they do have a side catering business if you’re looking for someone to park a pizza oven on your front lawn.

And rumor is they’re starting a real brick and mortar place on NW Market by Le Gourmand. If only they had a branch in West Seattle…
