Master Critic Review
Ceres
8.3
A hype-level, small-output pizza counter where the crust and topping restraint are the whole point. It works for families when you treat it as a planned mission: get a pie, split it cleanly, and skip the endless add-ons. Expect premium pricing and lines, but a very distinct style.
Must-Try Dishes:
Nduja pizza, Tomato pie, Margherita pie
Scores:
Value: 6.8
Service: 7.2
Consistency: 8.3
Food Quality: 9
Atmosphere: 6.5

What makes it special: Small-batch pies with a cult-following crust and premium build.
Who should go: Families who plan ahead and split a pie
When to visit: Midday weekday for the smoothest experience
What to order: Nduja pie, tomato pie, margherita
Insider tip: Aim for off-peak hours; lines can be the whole story.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited and competitive, especially evenings. Rideshare or walking is easiest.
Dress code: Casual—jeans and sneakers are the norm.
Noise level: Moderate to loud near the counter; conversation is fine but not hushed.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes depending on hype cycles and production pace
Weekday lunch: 10–20 minutes, often shorter off-peak
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several vegetable-forward pies and classic cheese options.
Vegan options: Very limited — not a focus, and availability varies.
Gluten-free options: No — crust style is core to the concept with no gluten-free alternative.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a casual, daytime or low-pressure date—standing, lines, and quick pacing make it less ideal for long conversations.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no traditional reservations; expect counter ordering and limited seating, so timing matters more than planning.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who are flexible eaters; best for quick meals rather than long, sit-down family dinners.
Best For
Better for: Families who want a distinct, cult-style pizza and are happy splitting a single, high-quality pie.
Skip if: You need lots of variety, gluten-free options, or a relaxed sit-down environment—choose a full-service pizzeria instead.
