Dave Portnoy just gave this buzzy new NYC pizza spot a 9.2 rating, and now it’s selling out like crazy — here’s what real New Yorkers think

Dave Portnoy just handed out one of his highest pizza ratings ever to a newly opened pizza spot in Little Italy – which is now causing impatient lines and sold-out pies.

The Barstool Sports founder is known for his viral — not to mention controversial — one-bite pizza reviews. And he recently gave Ceres — a three-month-old-or-so pizzeria at 164 Mott St. run by two former Eleven Madison Park chefs, Jake Serebnick and Julian Geldmacher — a whopping 9.2 out of 10 score.

Portnoy showered it with praise, calling it “spectacular” and “must-have, top-of-the-list Manhattan pizza … as good as it gets.”

Does he have a new NYC favorite? That glory at least puts it thin-crust close to a trio of his fight-inducing, top-tier Gotham greats Portnoy revealed to The Post last fall: “John’s of Bleecker, Lucali and Luigi’s. Those would be three that are all up there.”

Now, only a few days after Portnoy’s review dropped, lines at Ceres are out the door, $6 slices are selling out, and whole $40 pies are being sold on a time-slot basis only.

As The Post’s food columnist Steve Cuozzo previously noted in his review of Ceres, the duo’s “kitchen skills show in their painstaking pizza preparation,” which includes a crust made with wild yeast and toppings applied with what Cuozzo called “a scientist’s precision.”
