I have been hearing about Ceres for a few months and I finally got to try it. Lined up before they opened on a Saturday, to place a takeout order for later in the evening. The line was long and out the door, down the sidewalk. But, there were people getting fresh pizzas after walking in. There's a few tables inside so it's possible to dine in. When we came to pick up the pizzas, we saw no line and people walking in with no issue. After asking, learned that they sell about 220 pies a day, so you may get lucky walking in if they haven't hit that mark! However, they have limited quantity of the Nduja pie so if you want to try that I would recommend coming early. We ordered one of each pie and brought them home to try with a big group. Overall, the quality is really good. They are expensive for NY Pizza but you are paying for good quality ingredients. The overall favorite was the special Nduja pizza. Unique and so delicious. My second favorite was the mushroom pie, which was unexpected because I don't typically enjoy a white pizza. I also really enjoyed the tomato pizza. Overall, it's a fun experience and they have some unique, quality pizzas. Due to the price, I wouldn't come here frequently. But I definitely would love to go again. read more

Ceres is climbing to the top of NYC's best pizza rankings for three simple reasons: premium, ultra-fresh ingredients; the thinnest, crispiest crust you'll find anywhere; and a beautifully balanced flavor profile that harmonizes sweet, savory, sharp, and mellow notes. That said, prepare for sticker shock--two pies will set you back just under $100, especially if you go for the mushroom. But if you ask me, that mushroom pie will be the most memorable pizza experience of your life, unlike any pizza you'll ever try. The puréed portobello delivers a deep umami punch and fills the air with a rich, earthy aroma. It tastes like a mushroom stew on bread--or like a decadent fettuccine mushroom sauce, but on a perfectly blistered crust. Garnished simply with onions and parsley, there's nothing extra or unnecessary. It's the best mushroom pizza I've ever had, hands down. The cheese, however, was more polarizing. I appreciated the interplay between the sharpness of the scamorza, the mellow creaminess of the mozzarella, and the bright sweetness of the San Marzano tomato sauce. For me, the issue came down to balance: the topping-to-crust ratio felt off. My cousin thought the flavor skewed too sharp, almost like a faint Gorgonzola, and felt like something was missing overall. Many people around us had large piles of crust leftover, and though it was well-seasoned and the texture resembled that of a crispy baguette, it was too much dough for the amount of topping spread across the slice. Some will say it's not worth the high price tag, but when we went on a weeknight, the place was packed. Like many things in New York, you're not just paying for the food--you're paying for the experience of culinary artistry. In this case, that artistry is delivered on a pizza. It's a bit disappointing they no longer serve slices, but it's also a sign of confidence--they believe in their product and it shows in how many full pies they turn out each night. If you love food, have time to spare, and are willing to pay a premium for pizza, Ceres is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try the tomato pie. read more

Life changing pizza but you have to pay $50 a pie and preorder hours in advance if you want your life to be changed in the most delicious way. Best pizza in NYC, tried their most popular pie which is the white mushroom pie for $54 for 8 slices. Ordered around 1p on a Sat for a 2:30pm pie. Will definitely have to return to try a red pie! read more

It just wasn't worth the time and price for this. As a non-transplant, I've had local mom n pop pizza and the high end fancy stuff. I see the vision here but absurd prices and taste isn't up to snuff in my opinion. The Nduja was slightly burnt (even if intentional, not my jam), the cured meat plus sourdough made the pizza very sour. Paid and then told to come back in 2 hrs 15 minutes. Ehh not sure we'd be back but good to try! read more

Discovered this spot through social media, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The pizza was thin with just the right amount of cheese, and the sauce tasted super fresh with some flavors that all worked perfectly together. Four of us shared a whole pie and left completely satisfied. We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon, placed our order in person, and had about a 1.5 hour wait for pickup. The restaurant is small with a few tables and some bar seating. Bathroom was also super clean as well. So glad we gave it a try! read more

Ceres - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I blame social media for blowing up this place, and I blame myself for following the crowds. On a Saturday afternoon, I got in a queue to order pizza. I overheard someone was saying that they had to schedule a time later in the day to pick up the pizza. On top of that, it was a pie day, so they were not selling any slices. Just my luck. All I wanted to do was eat a slice there and leave. I waited about an hour in line. A few parties ahead of me left, so the wait could have been longer had they chose to stay. By the time I got to the counter, the Nduja was sold out. The earliest pick up time was 5 PM. Furthermore, you can only sit inside if you got your pizza. No boxes at the tables. But they do charge $1.63 for a big take out box. I ended up ordering the white pie $40. A guy next to us had the cheese pie, and we swapped a couple slices. I think both were mid T.T I feel so bad to say that. The white was so salty. The cheese was not salty enough. The base was pretty good though - nothing sliding off the tip of the pizza for that first bite. Also it wasn't good cold. Highly recommend to eat all the pizza while it's hot. This wasn't worth all the waiting and coming back. read more

smiling ear to ear since i got to try ceres!!! i got to the restaurant 1hr 15min before they opened on a saturday and was first in line. honestly the move - because i was able to sit on a stoop w a friend and chat the whole time. once we ordered it was ready in 15 minutes!!! we did the vodka and burrata between 5 people, glad we did 2 pies this is genuinely the best pizza ive ever had which makes sense considering its 2 ex mischelin 3 star chefs for EMP. from the sourdough bread to the flavors in the pies i was literally in heaven with every bite. definitely a high price point but if you appreciate culinary art then youll appreciate this pizza inside they do have a good amount of seating but i would plan to do takeout! recommending and would return if theres not too long of a line ever read more

Nice place to come for a pizza. Our friends really talked this place up so we came with them. Unfortunately because it's either so popular or they just can't handle the demand, you have to come and order your pizza multiple hours early and then show up at a later time that same day. The food was very good, but it's a hassle to get it. read more

Ceres - Tomato Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Intrigued by what all the hype was all about, my friends and I placed our orders around noon and received our pizzas around 2:15pm. We ordered the tomato and white pies and ate them inside while seated. For both pies, I was impressed at how well done and crunchy the undercarriage was. It was crisp, yet not overly dry while having a mild tangy flavor. The tomato pie had tomato sauce and parmesan cheese, so was slightly different from a classic cheese slice which typically would have mozzarella. My first impression of the slice was that it was quite light and refreshing since it was a tomato-forward flavor profile. However, as I kept eating it, it felt almost too acidic and made me desperately crave a creamy, rich element to help cut the acidity. This is where the white pie came into play, which had crème fraiche, pancetta, onion, and chives. The pie was creamy without being pasty, sweet with a strong onion flavor, and a rich meatiness from the pancetta. The chives helped bring a bit of brightness to the bite as well. While I typically don't enjoy white pies since they sometimes feel too rich and heavy after too many bites, I thought it was the perfect pairing with the tomato pie. As a bonus, we got a free cheese slice from another patron who wanted to swap slices. The cheese was nothing to write home about. Though the cheese slice had all the elements of a classic NYC slice and was well done (how I usually like it), I felt like it was missing the oomph and flavor of what makes a NYC slice so good. I would say Cere's strengths are definitely the tomato and white pies. TLDR: If you have a chance to visit, I would recommend getting the tomato and white pies together, since they each enhance and balance the acidity and richness of each other's flavors. read more

Dave Portnoy brought me here, and it didn't disappoint! Best pizza in nyc? It's a contender. The cheese is fantastic. I could get that every day. It's such a sweet sauce. The crust and undercarriage is firm and dry in the best way. Crunchy. Well baked. The white was ok for me. A 3. I love all the chives. It's very flavorful, but it was quite oniony to me. I got in line on a Thursday at 11:15am, and got my pizza at 12:10pm. I'm down to wait, it was good and fun to try. Love the branding of the pizza boxes. read more

I was really excited to try this place, but it ended up feeling extremely overhyped. We spent a little over $100 on a mushroom pizza and a cheese pie. The mushroom pizza had a really nice flavor profile--definitely the highlight--but still not worth the price tag. The cheese pizza, on the other hand, was disappointing. If refunds on pizzas were a thing, I'd honestly consider asking for one. The crust has good salt and a nice crisp, but that's about where it ends. It becomes dry and repetitive to chew through, especially without any sauce or added moisture. I understand they're going for a specific style, and I'm not someone who prefers overly saucy or greasy pizza--but even a side of tomato sauce, chili oil, or olive oil (honestly, even ranch) would have helped balance it out. What really sealed it for me was how poorly it held up as leftovers. It didn't reheat well at all--even after trying to revive it with a little water in the air fryer, it ended up turning into even more of a dry cracker. Overall, I wouldn't go back. L'Industrie Pizzeria is close by and, in my opinion, far more worthwhile and memorable. read more

I'm done with instagram fueled spots. Normally I eat somewhere and I wish the best for the owners. Sadly not the case as I feel like a chump. Pay $35 for a tomato pie and the coup de grace is they have the audacity to charge me for my carry out box ($1.67). and it was a total salt bommb the only way they can get away with this is a not yet ended stream of lemmings (admittedly, like me, today) who try this place. But they don't return. read more

Ceres - tomato - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

The amount of viral food locations that cross my social media can be truly mind-boggling. I really enjoy the videos, and I get super excited when they are in walking distance to either my house or my job or an area that I frequent. As such, was the case with CERES pizza. I saw lots of videos about two hour waits, about long lines in 10° weather about how delicious and innovative and fresh with vibrant flavors. Sometimes these things kind of give you pause and you put off checking out the place, maybe put it on the back burner, because you figure it's gonna be busy/ it's gonna be overwhelming. Maybe it's not going to be as good as everyone says it is ? would it be worth the wait? would it be worth the line? Would it be worth the price? This is the cost of going viral. I have a few positive things to say about the pizza, the crust was crispy. The flavors were in fact vibrant, but I don't know if it's the kind of pizza in New York City that has the right to go viral, but I suppose it really is about preference. I prefer a saucy sloppy cheesy piled high toppings, (not soggy but well-made) and that's not what we had here at CERES we just had a very, very thin, super thin, two pieces of paper, thin pizza with cheese and sauce and also a pizza with cheese, tiny, tiny, minced cubes of pancetta and a heavy dose of sprinkled chives, which was my coworkers's favorite when I felt was just OK at $40 a pie. all right we tried it, I checked it off my list and yes, the $68 pie on the menu was intriguing for a spicy sausage? I guess it's an Italian import all right if that's your thing so it's up to you. Take a few pictures have some pizza we only live once and don't forget! when you take your pizza to go. **You're not allowed to open the box and eat it in the dining area** as I was specifically told by the man who handed me my two pies. Also, also I went at 11 AM on a Saturday morning and there was only about eight people in the line in front of me so that was Awesome. read more

I'd been waiting to try this for months and I definitely say it delivered. We got there 15 mins before they opened and were the 4th in line. We ordered the tomato and accidentally got the cheese but they made it right. Both were delicious but we preferred the tomato for how light it was with the nice garlic kick. The crust was incredible for both. We'll definitely be back! read more

Mindblowingly delicious. I actually had the chance to get their slices before whole pies became the new rule. The pizza is picture perfect with an incredibly light but tasty sourdough crust. NO FLOP AT ALL. The toppings are high quality & perfectly balanced. My first bite was simply amazing especially the white slice-- Ceres is absolutely worth the hype & if you don't mind splurging a bit, prepare to have your taste buds dancing. read more

Trendy and delicious pizza but with the price point and horrible service, there's too much pizza in NYC to settle for this spot. Ordered to-go Told 40 minutes Waited 55 Went to the front Told "did you check in"? "No, I wasn't told to check in" "It's ok if you haven't checked in" "It's been 55 minutes and you haven't started my order" Waited another 35 minutes as other patrons ordered, ate and left If you end up going, just order and then 10 minutes later, go ahead and "check in" read more

If you are a diehard thin crust pie demolishing mofo you gotta make the pilgrimage to Ceres and bring a crew with you to try at least 2-3 whole pies(unless they go back to slanging slices, the you can do a solo mission) There are levels to pizza and this is def in the upper echelon of pizza not for anything specific but as a whole the pizza ceres was made with deliberate purpose: to be the Mecca of pizza in the Mecca of pizza! Structure: is perfect not burnt but well done despite the thinness it still maintained a level Of bite and chew to avoid being a cracker. Enough crust to coral all the toppings but not be just extra neglected dough, but even the then the crust was delectable! Toppings: all in all the perfect amount of sauce cheese was on a pizza crawl all day so I kept it light with the cheese only but I seated next to me were the most kind and beautiful Cali to NY transplant who shared their mushroom white pie and hands down that pie was off the hook!!! I'm not gonna talk about price, wait times, lines, or service. This pizza stands on business and talk beyond the pizza is just noise. Come here for a pie that will stand up to the hype! read more

If you get to try it, try it. I understand waiting and planning would ruin it for me too. We went on a cold January Saturday! I thought we'd beat the system , but nyc is not a real place . It was 25 degrees and everyone was out like it was freakin summer ! Always I digress. To the pizza ! Not sure if this was an anomalous day but we just got in line and ordered our pizzas . It was around 1:00 pm and the girl taking the order said it would be ready in 40! So to check back in around 1:45 and not wait in line . A lot of people were also getting tables and just sitting there and eating. So not sure if this is the norm or not. The pizzas-- we got the Nduja pizza (priced at $68) but it's a huuuuuuge pie . Like it is large. It's Nduja which I love - so has that smoky chorizo flavor and burrata . It was a little too smoky for me . But actually really good. I also don't love the crust but I'm being super super critical. The mushroom pizza now on the other hand -- drool , yum I don't know what to say. I never thought my favorite pizza would be a mushroom , white pizza . But this is.. just incredible . It's sooo tasty . The mushrooms are tiny pieces you can't even tell . Its prices at $48 and totally worth every penny . Get this. I normally love the red pizzas more but I am partial to white pizzas also. So take this with a grain of salt. I could skip the nduja but it's actually also super tasty. Just waiting in line and going back and all that isn't worth the hassle. But I'll be dreaming of that mushroom pizza forever read more

Ceres tested my patience, but delivered. There was a 45 minute wait just to place the order for a $48 pie, and it would not be ready for another two hours. That alone sets the tone. Was it worth it? Absolutely. When the dough, crust, and flavor all hit at a high level, the wait becomes part of the experience. This is serious pizza, not a quick slice situation. If you are willing to plan ahead and commit, the payoff is there. Not casual, not cheap, but very good. read more

Okay so maybe this harder for me to review since I live in Westchester, NY and am used to eating pizza at Johnnie's pizza in Mount Vernon, NY where the bar is extremely high. So Will review anyways. Okay we go to Ceres at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon and we're told we needed to wait 1.5 hours for pizza..so we placed our order and went to grab a coffee and cannoli around. The block, at 4:30 we came back and luckily found a seat since the place is rather small and cramped but it's NYC. We ordered the $40 Cheese Pizza and the $68 AnDuja Pizza... CHeese Pizza - Nice thin crust, cheese. Little overcooked but I like it that way...flavor was just mehhh,,,didn't really taste like much of anything other than a piece of crunchy bread with cheese slice on it...idk there was no seasoning on the pizza even though they grate Parmesan on it it didn't have a real pizza flavor to be honest... AnDuja Pizza - the pizza again had thin crust, it had all these special ingredients but flavor profile was just again weird and was very sweet to eat..the burrata on the pizza was just in my opinion not doing it for me. Anyways that's my review again hard for me since I am used to probably the best pizza in NY in the Johnnies pizza I mentioned above,,BTW I don't work for Johnnies I am just a very happy customer there for a very long time. read more

The two gents that run this place have a lot to be proud of. Ceres offers up some of the best pizza I've had in my life. No flop. Amazing flavor. Sauce, cheese, and crust are equally impeccable. Some good things to note: - they weren't doing slices. Full pies only. - we got in line at 11 am on a Friday to put our name in. There was already a line. - you'll be given a time slot to come and pick up your pizza. - there is indoor seating. Coming here is an amazing experience. It absolutely lives up to the hype! read more

I came here last year before this place blew up into full-blown hype. I had a mixed experience. They had just stopped doing slices, and me, as a solo traveler not wanting to miss out, had to order a whole pie. Cool, no problem, I knew what I was getting myself into. I can't eat a whole pie by myself nor am I realistically taking leftovers back to my hotel, and I thought maybe I could walk 10 feet in any given direction and find someone who'd want leftovers (note: didn't turn out to actually be the case, but glad people are hesitant about taking food from strangers) I really wanted to try something unique, and the nduja pie sounded up my alley. Definite sticker shock at $63 + tax + tip for a pie, but I've been to EMP and know that there wasn't going to be a compromise on quality. Came back a few hours later for my time slot, and while waiting for my pie, met some really nice people hanging out and eating. People so nice, in fact, that they offered me slices of their leftovers, so that I could try other pies, which left me with a whole lot of my nduja pie. While I was actually very impressed by the other slices people gave me, I wasn't a fan of the nduja pie. Ultimately, the balsamic just overpowered everything else that was going on. Maybe I got unlucky. Because I was there as one person, and people had been so kind as to share slices of their pies with me, I tried to pay it forward and offered up slices of my nduja pies to people around me. I got to chat with some cool people who were pizza tourists like myself, and we got to trade experiences and recommendations. I'm really glad people were so generous, because if I only had the nduja pie, I would have left really bummed for the price of admission. So anyway, this is where things got weird... The cashier came up to me and said, in kind of an embarrassed fashion, "you're welcome to share your slices, but I just wanted to let you know that you can't sell slices" The place was pretty empty at that point, so it would have been hard for me to be making pizza transactions in a room of 10 people with the cashier and two chefs within earshot. I was pretty taken aback, but just continued on with my meal. As I was chatting with a family who had been traveling, I saw Julian, one of the owners, glancing at me and whispering to the cashier, and overheard her say "I know, I already told him he can't sell slices". The cashier seemed kind of frustrated at this, too, since she was standing like 10 feet from me the whole time. Definitely soured my experience being accused of trying to sell slices when I was just chatting with people, trying to let them try a pie that wasn't on their table, and trying to not leave with a massive box of leftovers. Especially after other people had shared slices with me without any issue. I felt very unwelcome after having waited 4 hours for a pizza. One of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. read more

You need to go to this place if you take pizza seriously -- this easily cracks the top3 in NY for pizza spots right up there with Lucali & the usuals -- perfect sourdough crust and high quality ingredients. Some things to know on ordering: this is full pies only, with limited oven space. So you'll likely wait in line for an order time (you order now for a pickup time later in the day, maybe much later, depending on business) -- I'd suggest getting in line before open, to make this earlier/ near, then shift your day accordingly. The plain cheese is fantastic but we are also obsessed with the white mushroom, which has some really unique and umami flavors going on. read more

We were a party of 7 and we started to wait in line a little before they opened. There was already a lined formed, but the lined moved fairly quickly. We ordered 2 pizza's for the 7 of us, and they did not disappoint! It was super yummy, and the workers were really nice and even helped us look for a spot so that all of us could sit/stand in the same area to eat. There is a wait for your pizza to be done, but what's nice is that you can leave and explore the shops/areas next door and as long as your time it properly, you can come back and not have to wait around- given the store front is small. The pizza is on the pricey side if you're a small party or group, but it was a great size considering we had a group of us to share. read more

Ceres - Ceres menu as of 05/3/2025 - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

TLDR: Worth the hype, worth the wait. Must try. Mushroom pie: 5/5 Cheese pie: 4.5/5 Tomato pie: 4/5 *CHECK THEIR INSTAGRAM FOR MOST UPDATED DAILY PROCESSES* After receiving some recognition from Dave Portnoy, this place garnered a lot of attention and the wait exploded to nearly 2 hours on a regular day. Came here on a "pie only" day and was able to secure two time slots to return and retrieve my pies. a lot of people waited 45 minutes only to be notified that they were only selling pies to be retrieved at a later time that day. Mushroom pie: ABSOLUTELY amazing. Crème fraiche with the finely chopped mushrooms on their crust was - I would wait 3 hours to get this. Cheese pie: not too overwhelming but had an amazing taste. Tied together wonderfully by a beautiful olive oil drizzle- would wait up to 2 hours. Tomato pie: not too tart. Topped off with a generous portion of parm which gave it a nice sharp flavor but definitely hard to compare this with the two other pies. Would wait up to 1.5 hours. read more

See all

First thing to note: CHECK THEIR INSTAGRAM the day you want to go to find out if it's a pie day or slice day. I went on a day that they weren't doing slices, so I had to get a whole pizza, which is fine and I called in some reinforcements to help. And they do it by time slots so when you order a pie, you will likely have to wait a bit for your pick up time slot. I ordered around 2.30pm and my pick up time was 5.15pm. I get that might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there are only the two owners making every pie and perfection takes time. We got a mushroom pie and it was phenomenal. And I am so glad I got a whole pie bc I couldn't stop at just one slice. The crust is so thin and crispy. I fear it is one of the best pizzas I've had. The flavours of the mushroom pizza were incredible and if it were easier to get, I would be there way more often. read more

Ceres - Mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Definitely good pizza but don't break your head over getting to try it. I walked in around 1:30 and was told I could pick up a pie by 3:30 (and that the Nduja was sold out). You have the option to dine in when you pick up your pie. A to go box costs an additional $1.50. The employee at the register is super curt for no reason. This is a crunchy slice with good structure. The cheese is on the dry side (in a good way for my personal taste). There is a dusting of Parmesan that lends a bit of funk. There is good caramelization and the sauce is flavorful. I did think the pizza was overcooked though. Overall worth a try if you're hanging out in the area anyway. read more

This is a hard pizza to score for me, simply because it isn't my style. IMO it tastes like and has the texture of pizza when it's been leftover and heated up the next day to well done and overly crispy, with hardly no grease, no cheese pull, and somewhat dry. If that's the kind of pizza you like-well done, and really crispy, no cheese pull, not greasy...this pie is for you! It's not a bad pie, just not for me. The sauce or oil they use also had a very tart flavor that is unique, and I wasn't used to. It's definitely worth a try but maybe go on Wed or Thurs when there's a less wait time. And it is unfortunate you can't buy a slice, and can only get a whole pie for $40+ bucks! To me, that goes against what a NY slice is...this is not a NY slice/pie, idk if they even claim to be that. But if you want something more classic NY in that area, go to L'industrie, Champion, or Grand Street Pizza. I like my pizza to have a somewhat crispy crust but still got some chew, not dry and flaky. I like my cheese to be a bit gooey but not sloppy and not overly greasy, but to me a good cheese pull and some moisture is perfect. Staff were nice though, and the spot had plenty of open seating and was clean and simple. read more

The pizza was good, not the best. I could taste it had good ingredients in it and the crust was great. My problem with it is the toppings are so finely chopped there is no bite no texture all the bites are the same repetitive bite and it gets boring after a few bites and what really left a bad taste in my mouth about this place is they make you buy a whole pizza no slices for anywhere between $45- $80 bucks per pizza and then they have the audacity to charge you for a to-go box if you have leftovers. The service was bad too. We waited a long time for our pizza about 50 minutes which we knew was going to be a while but they only brought out 1 we were almost done with the first when we asked for our other and the girls was like yeah well bring it out when its ready. We had already waited long AF for the first one and then she's like youll get it when you get it type attitude. No f*cking thanks I'll spend my $100 somewhere else won't be back and she had an attitude too when I was getting plates to take home my leftovers. The table next to us also left super missed when they had also just spent $100 for 2 pizzas and was told they'd have to buy a box to take their pizza home. read more

I can't possibly give Ceres a 1 star review considering I didn't get a chance to try their pizza. They opened at 11 I was there at 11:15 the line was already a few people deep. By the time I got to the counter. It was 11:35. But this was the craziest part for one cheese pizza I was told it wouldn't be ready until 1:45 which is insane for pizza. Maybe next time this review will be a 5 star when I actually get to try it. But service time and speed not a hot start. read more

I came here on an April afternoon when I was supposed to be eating matzoh, but the crust is thin enough to pass off as unleavened. And I wanted to try the pies here before the lines reach L'industrie levels.

The extremely thin crust pairs well with a slightly tangy/sour tomato sauce. read more

Ceres is a genuinely impressive addition to the NYC pizza scene, and it mostly lives up to the hype. We stopped by on a Friday at 3:45 p.m., and the earliest pickup slot was 6:45, so be prepared for a serious wait. The menu is straightforward yet it has some unique options, and everything is sold as whole pies only. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are plentiful. I've tried most of their pies, and the standout for me is the mushroom pizza, which I'd recommend above all the others. If the wait is under an hour, it's absolutely worth your time. Otherwise just grab elsewhere & try back later. read more

Finally found a sourdough pizza in NY! It was very very good - my favorite was the mushroom (10/10). We also got the tomato slice and added Burrata and peppers. I think the peppers were over powering the taste of the rest of the ingredients but overall all the slices were delicious. The wait was very long..they had only two people working on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Thank you Barstool Sports for making this new Chinatown/Little Italy pizzeria into the city's latest tourist trap. In part also thanks to an article by the New York Post, business has exploded for this pizzeria. Part of me understands why, part of me still does not. Here is the part explaining why I understand. The pizza is not rushed out to you. The pies are made with precision and with scientific accuracy that leave no detail undone. The result is a nice and sharp looking pie that tastes pretty good, especially as the pie cools down. It comes to you pretty hot, so the first few bites may not be pleasant, but it does get better after 2-3 minutes. Here is the part explaining why I do not understand. The pies are made more on the well done side. The crust in some parts is too charred and the wait for the pie can exceed longer than expected. There is also very little area to sit, almost encouraging you to take the pie with you. The community feel inside and out make it feel more playful and fun than the vanilla pizzeria most have come to expect. Here are the rules: 1.) Pies are made on a first come; first served basis. Slices are most likely going to be phased out as the staff cannot keep up with the demand. 2.) The line for pies forms a half hour prior to opening. No ordering ahead and no online ordering. It does move at a leisurely pace. 3.) Once you get to the counter to order, pick a time for when you want to get it. This will help in the long run. If they want to put slices back on the menu, I promise they will have a line all the way to Grand Street, and beyond. Pies are the true model here. 4.) Come back at your requested time slot, skip the line, and wait for your circle of joy (or sphere of influence) to come into your welcoming arms. -- It might seem like a lot, and it is, but it is a good pie. If you want slices, make your way a few blocks up to Scarr's, I promise you as an avid pizza connoisseur you will not be disappointed, but pies only here folks. Yes, they are expensive at roughly $40 a pop. Barstool gave it a 9.2/10. I do not use a 10 point scale. I use the 5 point scale, so for me it is a 4.1/5. Good enough? read more

Ceres - Cheese Pie - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Mushroom is a must!!! Sourdough makes all the difference! This Noho sloop by two former Eleven MadisonPark alums in a generously sized interior paying homage to the old school with ample seating. Ate: Plain & mushrooms Total $13 Slices are finished with olive oil and elite. There's tap water and my slices were top tier. The mushroom with crème fraiche tasted like a tarts flambé. It's pricey but it's absolutely pizza perfection. read more

This was on my list of places to try after I watched a video about the Michelin chefs who started this pizza spot from Eleven Madison Park. You go and order and then come back when it's ready. For us, it was about an hour and a half. You can only order whole pies, no slices, so be sure to come with a group! By the time we got there (1 pm), the most popular pie with the burrata was sold out. We got the mushroom, and it was soooo good! The best pizza I've ever tasted. The crust was perfectly crispy and thin, the mushroom were cut up and evenly distributed, and it had some herbs too. Was it worth the 50 bucks? Ehhhh, I don't know if I'd say that but im so glad I tried it. read more

After watching multiple reviews I had to try the place. I was a little underwhelmed. I ordered three pizzas-cheese, mushroom, and carbonara. The cheese was ok, needed more sauce. Mushroom was too salty. My friends liked the carbonara. Crust- not amazing enough for me to finish the whole slice. read more
