Ceres

Wow. I was genuinely surprised. Kinda like my divorce but that’s another story. The sauce on the mushroom pizza was very unique and haven’t had anything like it. You know what else is unique??…..my ex wife. What a piece of work she is. Speaking of piece of work, the tomato pizza was also a standout and would definitely have it again. You know what I wouldn’t have again? My ex wife. I wouldn’t take her back if you paid me in pizza like this. Lesson learned! And yes, Ceres is worth the hype!

Let me just start by saying I absolutely love the concept behind this place and the guys behind it are absolutely crushing it. It’s refreshing to see more and more restaurants focusing on one thing and executing it to the best of their ability. Ceres pizza is very accessible and recognizable to most palates. They aren’t doing any crazy or taboo pizzas. Mainly timeless classics with some small twists here and there like using Spanish Sausage for their Sausage Pizza. One thing I also enjoyed about the pizza I tried, was that they all had an acid component to them (like a pickled pepper). Because of that, I actually really think it stood out in my mind. The crust is thin and crispy. And they are clearly using a higher quality flour blend that gives the dough a nuttier taste. The only thing to be aware of when coming here is how busy it gets. I was lucky that my friends had already waited through the line and ordered the pies by the time I got there, since it takes this team of two working double time to get through the line of hungry customers. I like Ceres, and will be back to try other flavors (even when the hype dies down)

delicious pizza with high quality ingredients. the crust was divine, thin and crispy, but also could stand up when held in one hand as it should! we were able to get our order not long after ordering and really enjoyed it with a mexican coke.

This spot excels in its singular focus on pizza, and the quality of their product makes it a worthwhile destination. The freshness of the ingredients, combined with the unique crust and umami-rich mushroom powder, culminates in an exceptional pizza experience. The textures were a delightful contrast, with the crisp, thin crust playing against the soft, creamy toppings. The execution of the pizza was meticulous, ensuring that each element contributed to the overall harmony of flavors. The portion size was ample, providing a satisfying meal. The price was reasonable, considering the quality of the ingredients and the skilled preparation, making it a good value. The ambiance of the place was relaxed and welcoming, with the wood paneling creating a warm atmosphere. The fast and friendly service added to the positive experience. The wait time was minimal, even during a busy period. The overall assessment of this dining experience is highly positive. The exceptional pizza, coupled with the pleasant ambiance and efficient service, makes this spot a recommended destination for pizza enthusiasts.

It’s up there with some of the best slices in NYC and therefore some of the pizza in the world. The slice is just a work of art, it’s beautiful to look at. It’s a thin slice, crunchy in all the right places, yet not burnt. You can really tell the ingredients are super fresh. This place is legit and if I had to guess it will become one of the household names in the near future. Extremely good pizza.

Yes yes yes. Still new so their operations are a little slow… only saw two people behind the counter - one was making the pizza and other was taking orders and reheating slices. They did have another person running ingredients to the prep area. Wait was about 45 min but with nothing pressing to do, we gladly waited. The tomato slice and white were divine! White was definitely really rich. We also thought both slices were a little salty to our liking but still delicious. No floppy slice in sight! *mangia* FYI… it ran me $15+ for the two slices. The ricotta and Calabrian chili on the tomato slice is an upcharge. Slices are $5-7 otherwise.

Had the tomato and white slices and they were both delicious - the bread is so good, I almost finished all the crust. It’s a pretty efficient spot where tables are preferred for those who order pies, but you can easily snack on your slice outside as well. Would come back.

The line wasn’t long but had to wait 45 minutes before I can order. The pizza are sourdough pies, the crust are crunchy but not chewy. The slice holds up like a real NY style, not flopping down at the end. I ordered 3 different slices, their crust varies, the Tomato slice is the best and crispiest, also because I add on the cherry pepper + ricotta. The Cheese slice can cook just slightly longer as the crust wasn’t as crispy. But overall, really good pizza. The shop is short staffed, can run more efficient by hiring a cashier so the 2 guys can focus on making and cooking pizza maker.
