Ceres review
Quick answer: Ceres in Manhattan has been reviewed on YouTube by James Andrews & One Bite Pizza Reviews. James lines up 25 minutes before Ceres even opens, book in hand, and yeah, it's worth it. That $40 cheese pie is huge, gorgeous and seriously tasty, but the crust hogs way too much real estate. He'd still go back tomorrow.

▶James Andrews' Ceres review
James rolled up to Ceres in Little Italy about 25 minutes before the doors opened, and honestly the wait flew by. He grabbed the $40 plain cheese pie and it landed way bigger than expected: eight slices, charred, bubbly and dusted with Parmesan. The San Marzano tomatoes, scamorza and mozzarella combo knocked him out, and that sourdough base had a serious crunch with zero flop. His gripe? Not enough cheese and sauce, and the crust got dry as a bone by the end. Still, he calls it a must-visit and hands it an 8.3, and at roughly $20 a head when you split it, that's not bad for NYC.
- $40 for a plain cheese pie, and it easily feeds two
- Scamorza plus mozzarella gives the cheese real character
- Sourdough crust: crispy and no flop, but bland and dry on its own
- He'd give it an 8.3, great pizza but not quite top tier
- Slices are gone, whole pies only, and you'll be waiting in line
▶One Bite Pizza Reviews' Ceres review
Davey went to Ceres to see if this new spot could live up to the hype. He was immediately struck by the incredible backstory of the two chefs, who started the business using only their credit cards after four years of searching for a lease. He tried both the tomato and cheese slices, and he was completely blown away by the quality. He says the pizza is genuinely as good as anything he's had in Manhattan. It's a must-try for any pizza lover!
- Davey was impressed by the chefs' story of starting the business on credit cards.
- He gave the tomato slice a high rating of 9.3.
- The cheese slice earned a definitive score of 9.2.
- He noted that the pizza is on par with the best spots in Manhattan.
- The slices featured Parmigiano-Reggiano and a signature drizzle.
