Make button width fit to the text
If you are developing to a modern browser. https://caniuse.com/#search=fit%20content
You can use:
width: fit-content;
Remove the width and display: block
and then add display: inline-block
to the button. To have it remain centered you can either add text-align: center;
on the body
or do the same on a newly created container.
The advantage of this approach (as opossed to centering with auto margins) is that the button will remain centered regardless of how much text it has.

I like Roger Cruz's answer of:
width: fit-content;
and I just want to add that you can use
padding: 0px 10px;
to add a nice 10px padding on the right and left side of the text in the button. Otherwise the text would be right up along the edge of the button and that wouldn't look good.
