What people say, in short
Fermento draws recommendations for its slices, with a diner describing a thin, light and crisp sourdough crust. Another particularly enjoys the burrata slice with chunky tomato sauce and basil. Several visitors report enjoying the pizza, while one finds it good without considering it clearly better than other slice shops. The praise supports a promising option, not unanimous agreement that it is a new benchmark.

Sourdough crust thin, crispy, light with airy cornicione; better topped than Ceres, possibly top 10.

Was there recently and thought it good, but not exceptionally better than most slice shops.

Got a free test slice before opening and thought it was great, though notes free may bias.
