Best

It's the only pizza I will eat when I go to New York!! It is by far the best!!! Pros: Looks, Taste, Value Cons: Grease

Worst

This Ray's is Ok if you're stuck in the neighborhood, but if you want excellent pizza, you could do better at Ray's on 6th and 11th, or Ray's on Prince Street near Bowery. Both pl...

mmm, bready 10/19/2002

Breay, doughy, soft crust with huge amounts og cheap cheese. Radio Shack of pizza. My local Ray's seems to catre to the bums that hang out in front. Pros: cheap Cons: cheap tasting more

Best Pizza Ever!!! 10/17/2002

I have always loved pizza, and ever since my favorite pizza place closed when I was eleven, I could never find a pizza that I really loved until I visited New York and discovered Ray's. It is by far the best pizza I have ever had and every time I go back to the city I cannot leave without having a Ray's cheese pizza. That is why I think that it should be #1 on your rating, not #9. Thank you more

Best Pizza in New York City. Large plain slices with cheese. more

The name is the attraction 9/4/2002

Pizza is good. Other dishes fair to good. The place is not very neat, but it is easy to get in and out of if you are short of time. Pros: reasonably priced, quick in and out Cons: Not very neat, Parking is difficult, crowded more

True New York Style 8/27/2002

Good, old fashioned pizza New York style. The Best! And, not expensive....great for big groups. more

CAUTION: AVERAGE PIZZA 8/21/2002

Rays turns out average pizza at best. It shouldn't be in the same ranks as John's and Lento's as it is on this list. I don't like my slices heat lamped for hours and hours and then re-heated and served. Something about that disturbs me.... 2 Thumbs Down... more

Why not just go to Pizza Hut? 8/17/2002

I can't believe i've read good reviews for this NYC institution. Canned sauce, too much cheese, thick crust. The poorest excuse of a slice in the city. Save it for the tourists and go to Joe's. more

eat pizza now! 8/15/2002

the best pizza in the city, the pizza place i run to after a broadway show and some dancing at the clubs. more

A hearty slice of NY 8/14/2002

In a word Ray's pizza is quite simply the best. There are other places u can go to in this city for some pizza. Some are hip and stylish, some are fance, and some r just plain cheap but if u want old fashioned NY pizza the way it was meant to be then u go to Ray's. Some people say it's the cheese but those who know will tell u it's the water that goes into the dough that give the pizza it's thck NY taste. Either way if youre tourist lookin for that authentic NY flavor or just in the mood for a slice Ray's is the place. more

Decent 8/14/2002

Typical NYC pizzaria, nothing special. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd personally go someplace else for better pizza more

A Ray of light... 8/13/2002

To a New Yorker, where you go for pizza is a reason to or not to marry someone. If your intended likes Ray's pizza, they're definitely a keeper. The slices are huge. The prices are low. The toppings list is endless. And, the pizza passes the all-important grease test: if you stick a full roll of paper towels on top of one slice, the oil will soak all the way through and STILL drip from the slice. Now THAT'S good pizza! ;) Pros: great recipe, fast service, great value Cons: little seating space, long lines more

great for a quick slice 8/12/2002

Maybe not the best pizza in town, but a solid place for a quick slice. The countless locations around the city and a decent variety of pizzas to choose from makes Rays a good place to visit. more

a ray of sunshine 8/5/2002

great slices -- we go there everytime we are in town. It;s economical, and doesn't take forever! We have recommended this place to everyone we know. Pros: good food, economical Cons: location more

Not Available 7/21/2002

Pizza is okay in an area stocked with good eats. The staff always seems put upon when ordering anything not premade. The price is high for ""gourmet"" slices and looks like leftovers at all times. Stop by if you are in a hurry, otherwise walk to any of the other 20 or so pizza places in the area. more
