Reviews for Veraci Pizza Ballard in Seattle, WA
Pizza has always been good, but the atmosphere of the restaurant and store location are harsh. We always get orders to go. A... Couple of cookie sheets in a hot oven before pick up ensures the crust isn't soggy in 5 minutes, just enough time to open somevino. Read more
Ordered catering for my wedding. The guests raved about it for days! Such great pricing and even greater pizza. Having the wood... fired pizza oven on site was very cool Read more
Just ordered a pizza, granted 1/2 cheese and 1/2 New Yorker - a special request, and a salad. I'm not even kidding when I tell... you it was one of the most depressing pizzas I can ever remember eating. Barely cooked crust, everything was cooked to thepoint of warm, but there was no char, no bubbles in the dough, no real rise or crispness. Toppings were warm and soggy. Theother pizza I saw them taking out of the oven (not mine) was burned to a crisp. Their "secret recipe" Salati Fresca salad issome limp romaine, croutons and a small tub of oil and vinegar with maybe a tablespoon of chopped onion and tomato. I've beenhere and had some really great pizzas, but of late the pizza is nothing better than a half cooked, take and bake. I'm sorryVeraci, I really want to like you but its a Friday at prime dinner time and your pizzaiolo are (very sweet) teenagers whodefinitely do not seem to possess the skill to properly manage a wood fired oven and the necessary pie rotation to ensure aconsistently good product.

We ended up here on accident, and what a happy accident it was! The pizza is so delicious and you get to cut it with PIZZA... SCISSORS! SO FUN. for dessert we got a gigantic Nutella and strawberry calzone and OMG. YES! Staff was super nice. Greatexperience for sure! I'll be back. Read more
We built our own pizza here and ate outside at one of their tables. The wood-fire pizza was excellent. Thin crust and spices... that were the perfect blend made this pizza delicious. We appreciated the location a short drive from the zoo, the ability topark right there, and a pizza that was prepared in just ten minutes. I would recommend this to anyone. Many people picked uptake out while we were there. Polite and helpful staff! Read more
This was great local find within a mile of the zoo. The thin crust pizza was outstanding - the sauce and seasonings took it to... another level. Things that stood out to us: They had our pizza ready in 10 minutes - not pre-ordered. Shaded outdoorseating. Free on-site parking. Recycling/composting/garbage bins. Watching them fetch wood for the pizza oven. Read more
Wow - everything about this place is so unassuming except for the pizza! I had driven past it countless times, but never thought... to stop in. Big mistake! This is the best pizza I?d had in Seattle, and I?d been to all the trendy spots. It's thin crust andbig on flavor - great cheeses, meats, creative flavor combinations, perfectly cooked. Everything was great and the take-outexperience took less than 15 mins after ordering in person. We'll be back... SOON!! Read more
Small and cozy Pizza place. Pizza's are wood fired/brick oven cooked. Had the Chicken and Pesto pizza. Great taste, and came... out quick. Recommend! Read more
