What people say, in short
Ceres draws praise for its tomato pie, and diners also recommend its mushroom slice. The flavor and texture do not convince everyone: a visitor likes the crunch but finds little flavor and would not wait again. Another visitor tries a cold slice and enjoys the texture more than the taste. The disagreement concerns the pizza, not a universal verdict on whether the queue is worthwhile.
