Pizza slice was good, but he didnt give us what we asked for. We didnt want mushrooms on our pizza.
Pizza was weak... TV was broken and was charged 5$ for a slice. Almost served me pizza that was cold, had to ask for it to be toasted. There was no red peppers readily available. All in all bad service.
Have only had the pizza here.. and not going to get in the battle of which Rays is better.. or whats the best pizza in New York.. all I know is that the pizza here is always fresh and delicious. From about $6 you get a nice selection of slices to choose from plus they other menu items if pies is not your thing. Customer service is always great and theres plenty of room to sit and enjoy your choice of meal. All part of the reasons we keep coming back 😋
Worst pizza Ive ever had! Never and I mean never order their taco pizza. Terrible! All it had was tomato sauce, a ton of jalapenos, a tiny bit of meat, and government cheese slices. I didnt think it was possible to screw up a pizza this bad!
I live in NYC and tried most of the Pizza takeouts in Manhattan. Rays pizza is good. But 14 dollars for two slices is way too much for what is being offered. If you need a quick bite better options are around. If you wanna taste great pizza, there are beautiful Italian restaurants downtown that offer pies that come for less than 56 bucks... I made a list of pizza takeouts in NYC. Rays sadly makes it in the bottom third. Disappointing.
The pizza was good but more pricey than I expected for two slices and two drinks. Then again, when in Manhattan, you pay more or dont eat it. Sometimes I wonder if they see you are from out of town, they charge you more because you dont know better. Still, the pizza was good.
The pizza here was ok, except that both my friend and I got sick after eating it. We came here our first night in NYC hungry from traveling all day. We both ordered a slice, they reheated it and we sat in the back. It was cluttered and looked dirty. This was my first NY dining experience and it left me scared all the restaurants would look like this, but they dont. Within an hour i knew my stomach was not taking to the pizza and I was up half the night. My friend joined me in my misery shortly after that. We did not eat any more pizza in NY after that. Would not recommend.
Delicious pizza, just what we wanted. Staff was very kind to us as well.
Very good New York-style pizza joint, conveniently located within walking distance of several major hotels. Many topping choices are available, and even after 2 days, upon reheating, the pizza crust was as good as freshly baked!
This pizza place was open late - it was around ~1am when I visited to grab a slice of pizza after a show. The selection was limited to what they had available at that time (no pepperoni or just cheese slices were available). I had a margarita slice which was delicious and cheap; just what I was looking for! 🙌
Restaurant doesnt display prices. 2 slices and a soda can cost you 12 to 16 dollars depending on the mood of the guy at the cash register that day. Pizza is not bad
I was traveling from Omaha, Nebraska with 3 teenaged grandkids and chose this pizza establishment. Because it was close to Marriott Marquis hotel.This was an excellent choice!!! The place was clean, the employees was so friendly and the pizza was delicious.I definitely recommend this place and will patronize again if Im return.
The pizza was great! But we ended up paying over 50$ for a few slices. Felt like a scam. Should have looked at the prices first, but couldnt find them. Way too overpriced :(
Worst greasy pizza ever had. And a total ripoff. $36.00 for four slices and 2 bottle soda.Never again. Total crooks.Pizza taste like cardboard with sauce.
Break time. Eating Rays Pizza on 53rd street and 7th Avenue. Taste so good. #pizza #nyc #NewYork #NewYorkCity #nyc #nycpizzaLove the pizza. Great sauce and bread. Clean and quick customer service. Thanks.
We expected great NYC pizza, and they delivered. What didnt expect was great cheesecake. It is walk-in basics done well. Many locations.
Pizza was not good and Philly stake was not good. Change the bread and it might be better. But then again the pizza sauce tasted like it was straight out of the can. 🤷♀️
Im from Chicago, so I know good pizza! The pizza at Rays was very good. A great New York pizza experience for me and my family!
The definition of New York style pizza. The slices are huge and taste awesome. Buffalo chicken is my favorite.
Tasty food but expensive and awful atmosphere to dine. Oh man, which world are these guys.. suffocating..wornout ..dirty tables..with flies everywhere...very least expected environment...does NYC has any food and safety inspections done...
Rays as always it has been amazing! Got the cheese pizza and all i can say, the classic never goes wrong! Thank you Rays!
Rude cold and not very tasty. Definitely the worst pizza Ive had in New York
We came here since it was the closest pizza spot to the the tree at Rockefeller center. With kids we wanted to get something faster than a sit down and with outdoor seating. The line was annoyingly ave unnecessarily long and this was just to order. We ordered the medium pizza pie. It was much smaller than expected and much more expensive. $23 for a plain pie is just unnecessary even for Manhattan prices. It also took 20 minutes to make. The crust was too thick and slightly burned on the bottom. The sauce was good. They do have a sit down area on top. The place is pretty clean. I recommend the dollar pizza a block away for a better deal, better service and slightly larger pie size.
Pizza was really good. Wife and son had two slices each, I was good with one.
I see why its famous. Absolutely great New York experience. Amazing pizza, amazing people.
Great chicken bacon ranch slice big pieces a real chicken breast too, rarely seen if anywhere else.would recommend for those that like quality toppingsA+
Delicious food, great service & friendly staffs! If you’re in the area; definitely worth stopping by for a quick slice!
This pizza was sad..to say the least. The crust barely held up the pizza itself. It was greasy, soggy, not tasty. Skip.
I went to another Ray’s Pizza parlor and the quality for those pepperoni pizza was excellent and it had big slices. It was closer to the MOMA museum that I just went today and very convenient. I can’t wait to go back their again.
NY Style pizza by the slice. Slices are XL. The cheese pizza was devoured by our crew, the special was good... dine-in seating and tables inside with AC
Well... as pizza goes in NY it was good. But beware when they ring you up. Hubby wasnt paying attention and paid $10 for 2 slices when it clearly was $8.50. I think they were eyeing up tourists. We took ours to go... no atmosphere to speak of.
Nice guys but pizza sucked. We were just looking for something quick near our hotel. KEEP WALKING! .pizza is tasteless. Sorry we wasted a meal here. Wont be back.
Pizza was pretty good as quick counter pizza goes. Expect to pay $7 for a specialty slice though. $14.50 for slice and a beer.
Rays pizza a nyc staple pizza place, will see these all over the city, with a real Italian owner, if you visit rays enough you’ll spot the delightful owner who makes his rounds making sure everything’s going well and making sure the staff are happy.
Good variety and quality.... self service pizza place... available by slice as well
$7 for a terrible slice. They didn’t even give me a hot slice. Slightly warm slices. Tasteless. Charged me $3 for a water bottle too.
It serves good pizza super cheesy but nothing special and a bit over priced
Solid NY pizza that I get every time I visit. It may not be the best pizza but it has a special place in my heart and is pretty consistent with how its made. Always great for a quick meal
Certainly one of the better New York-stuke Alices in town. This location is a Rays Original just far enough from Times Square that theres little to no crowds.Solid slices served quickly. Not necessarily the best in NYC, but certainly the most consistent.
Really good! I recommend that all the tourists going to 42nd or Rockefeller Center who want real NY pizza afterwards to walk up a few blocks and hit this Pizza restaurant. (Although it is on the expensive side for Pizza but I know thats cause of where they are)
Great pizza, by the slice, people kind of rude though. Pricing is pretty good. Everything you want in a NY style slice of pizza
Pizza was good, but not wow. Good consistency but once it got cold it wasnt enjoyable anymore. Female cashier was in a hurry to get her money with no pleasantries and they didnt have any good drinks. Outside seating was cool, but they kept watching me + then went down into the storage room in front fiddling with stuff, while I was still eating right there. Place was recommended, but I dont see what all the hype was about really..
Pretty decent, but maybe not quite as good as the one in Chelsea. Crispy crust, good sauce but not enough of it, and reasonably decent cheese (the fresh mozz on the margarita pie). Lousy quality/amount of toppings, though. Prices are too high for pizza-by-the-slice in this town. $6.50 for a slice just doesnt feel right when you can get a comparable slice from 2 Bros for $1.
Pizza was great, BUT the staff was very rude, we asked for the restroom and they barely paid us attention, definitely NOT coming back.
They can use gloves to serve pizza. Not the best pizza in New York.
Awesome pizzaYoure gonna love itNice folkDrop byGood pricesBest place⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bought 2 slices for take out, Was $3.50 per slice. So $7.00 total. Pay as by Visa card. Checked account was charged $12.13. Ripping off tourists!!! You decide whats what!..went back next day asked for $5 refund... was given $5 easy enough. Thx pizza was good enough... just watch the charges!
This place sucks.. and expensive... pizza is not worth the money... 14 dollars for 2 slices and it was mediocre
Best pizza so far!!!
Very great slice and super friendly staff. In town for the day and had to get a slice, so glad I stopped at Rays for the pepperoni, sausage & mushroom!
Very average NYC pizza, nothing special. What’s special is the price. I got charged 14 dollars for two slices of meat lovers. That’s a full pizza for the same quality in another place. I advice you to go somewhere else and don’t get scammed
$7 for a slice of pizza you gotta be kidding me and they don’t show their prices
Great Pizza But A Bit EXPENSIVE ...BUT its Expected$17 =2 Buffalo Slices + Mango Pepsi
Love my NYC pizza!
Really good pizza, it was my first NY pizza and it didnt disappoint!
This place is my favorite and I will go there every time I am in NYC. The slices are huge and thats definitely great
Big slices - good pizza. Only problem is the cleanliness of the seating areas and overflowing trash bins.
Mediocre food and forgot garlic knots. I paid 48 dollars for 2 philly cheese steak sandwiches, fries and a soda. i have no problem paying if it’s quality but way overpriced for what you get. they use cheap ingredients on the sandwiches (american cheese thin slices)
Slices were tasty. Would go back.
The absolute best pizza in NYC and NJ! Consistently hot, well made and the sauce is delicious. True NY style pizza that cannot be beat. We also tried their fettuccine alfredo with chicken- excellent sized portion and it was better than I’ve had from some of those chain places!
Ordered online during the pandemic and food was ready on time. The garlic knots are Amazing! The pepperoni calzone is STUFFED with pepperoni, so heads up if you prefer a saucier calzone. The pizza was very good. Average for New York, but would be considered excellent in other parts of the country.Edit: We ordered here again. I had an online order, but when I walked into the store, there was nowhere to pick up orders. I tried to talk to one employee who wouldnt talk to me and just pointed to the front of the store to talk to someone else. I went to the front to talk to an employee who wasnt actively helping other customers, but he just interrupted the one employee interacting with customers about my order. They didnt care much for my name, just wanted to know what I ordered. Eventually he was able to instruct his co-employees how to help and I got out the door with my pizza and one of my two orders of garlic knots. The taco pizza was delicious, but it was very heavy on jalapeños and the cheese was slices of American cheese, not cheddar as advertised. Im not going to change my review yet, but tonights experience is the reason this wonderful food is being represented with 3.8 stars (at the time of writing)
Over 35 years of going to Rays every time I came to town, it was time to take the wife and grandchildren to enjoy Rays, which they did! We got there early Sunday before the Marathon crowd and had a great selection, great pizzas.
We tried to buy 4 slices and the owner pushed us to buy half a pie because he didn’t want to sell us the four slices. Also 3.25 for a bottle of water. Way too overpriced and poor customer service. probably the worst pizza place in the area. If you want to buy pizza go to 55 and 56 on 8th ave those are the best places in the area. This place sucks.Review from a New Yorker not a tourist.
Horrible staff! inappropriate jokes, high tone, disgusting service. And so high price for bad pizza 🍕! Think twice than to come here.
Dirty and expensive for some very poor quality pizza. Was charged $27 for 4 slices of pizza.Staff were rude and service was a shambles.AVOID! Would not recommend at all.
Better than your average za!
Pizza is not the best in NYC but is pretty solid the 3 times I’ve been here. Consistent and good customer service. If you don’t feel like going on the outskirts to some of the other top 20 spots in the area, this is a consistent 7 out of 10 type spot.
Service was fast, pizza was good, seating area was pleasant. good value.
Scam! No prices are listed. One slice costs 7 dollars
Just ordered from here my calzone didnt have everything I ordered in it and it was burned, my pizza was muchy and with some gigantic meatballs. And my french fries with bacon and cheese where horrible, And payed 70 dollars. If it was a thing I would of return everything back and just got my money back. Waste of money and food.
Ray’s Pizza was actually quite good. The slices were large and full of toppings. The calzone I had with my order was cooked fresh; nice and cheesy. I even had a beer with my order. I think I found my new favorite pizza in NYC.
I know everyone says the Rays Pizza they went to is the real Rays, but this one is really the real one, I think. Either way the pizza and service are great. In and out with warm pizza in no time.
The most average pizza i’ve ever had. pretty overpriced and the workers were rude and ignored us at first
Staff was great! Pizza was good.
Ridiculously overpriced. The smallest bottle of soda in the store is $3.50. And it comes with a touch of attitude.
Took one bite and it was trash I thought this place was supposed to be good
5 stars is for the pizza not the service. Im not a huge pizza fan but my daughter loves them, so we just had to buy a slice and eat it walking through Times Square. The pizza was delicious. It was lovely and hot and the bottom was crispy. Yum! If you can get passed the sour faced staff then pop in for a tasty treat.
Quite literally the best pizza and wings i’ve ever had. they have lots of seating and bathrooms too. we will be back every time we visit!
Delicious food, reasonable Manhattan prices and friendly service. Clean and spacious dining area.👍
Love the cheese and meat lover pizza! Its not a 2$ slice, but its worth the money if you are visiting and want to fold a slice!
An AMAZING slice of pizza and surprisingly inexpensive for the area. Had the interior and restrooms been cleaner, it would be an easy 5 star rating.
Went here when I visited NYC couple years back. My family remembers this place because the pizza was bad. I don’t know if it’s just the style of pizza but I remember it had huge chunks of ingredients on it.
We went in late night for 3 slices to snack on. Staff were friendly and pizza was good and very tasty. Not the best we have had but very good. They had some unique combinations to choose from with about 10 to choose from. Great stop and very close to our hotel. We would return again for sure.
I wanted to get a pizza slice and bottle of water and Cashier was asking $3.25 for a small bottle of simple water, thats ridiculous. You can get $1 bottle of water literally outside that store from the cart. Still cant wrap my head around why they are selling simple water small bottle for $3.25.
If you want NYC Pizza....this is it. No frills. Just awesomeness!
Unreasonably expensive 1 pizza slice and a water bottle will cost u 10 dollars. We had 2 slices and 2 water bottles total was more than 20$. Cheese on pizza was bland. Spinach appeared to be from frozen section. Its basically a ripoff.
Great pizza and good prices considering location, staff friendly and efficient.great place
Really disappointed with the quality of my order. I ordered 10 piece buffalo wings. I asked them to be cooked well extra crispy. I received on 9 wings... and super soggy almost appeared only boiled and seemed a bit undercooked. Sucks I used to order great wings from this place before. Not cooked to my liking lately. I had to refry in my at home air to be able to eat them.
Pretty good pizza and customer service. However, the wings are a no go. Honestly, they should just take them off the menu.
Ray’s is good but they’re really mean here.Yes it’s partially cause it’s the touristy area but EGH the worst
I liked the pizza, especially the sauce. The service was fast
First time in NYC - wanted to try authentic NY pizza ( and pasta). Both were great!
The slice was really tasty and the service was great!!
Rays pizza is a must when visiting Time Square in New York the pizza is always fresh and great!!
I never had paid for 2 sliced pizza with 1soda almost $18dollor in NYCIt’s ridiculous& disappointed I won’t recommend this place
Kinda like pizza when youre hammered, just to fill the gut.
They are really bad pizza specially this location.pizza was not cooked. Over priced and they charge for bottles water 3+ dollars. Never coming to this location again
I ate here a few times on a recent trip to NYC. The pizza is very good, however, the customer service is almost completely non-existent.
The Best Pizza in town. The guys working there are Friendly and professional
Food was greasy and disappointing. The place was FILTHY. Staff rude and not wearing masks. Definitely won’t be back.
The pizza was good. Not the best. I would give 4 stars if the service was better. Rude because they dont understand English well enough to understand that my friend ordered a slice that was the same as mine. When we told him she didnt have two of the same but that one was for me, he threw the slice on the counter with an attitude.
Worst service Ive ever experienced. Not worth going back again. Impatient with their customers because they have a line out the door. Upset they have good business?? Never heard of it...Then our pizza was either given away or never made, and when asked they yelled saying its not ready. Ended up being 40 minutes for a pie. I wouldve asked for a refund and left but had hungry boys ...Theres plenty of other places to eat. Would NOT choose this one.
2nd time there and I love there pitzzas I would definitely recommend anyone who wants a good slice to come here!
Pizza slice was great! The Italian beer was a good choice.
Pizza was old, then they heated it up and crust was burnt...
The regular slice ($3.50) was not great, and the place itself felt really dirty and sad. We ate as quickly as we could.What it does have going for it is that if you are really hungry and really craving pizza, its the first pizzeria walking up 7th Avenue from Times Square to the 57th Street N. Know that.
I have read about the place during my so called nyc prep. Arrived to an old fashion style pizzeria, unclean, unwelcoming, noisy, the pizza on counter looks unappealing and like it was seating there for ever. Bought one piece and its by far the least tasty pizza at the city. Do your self a favor and eat at any of the other amazing places there is to eat.
The slices of pizza are extremely large, meaning a slice per person, and the pizza is relatively cheap. Their menu isnt as extensive as other larger pizza chains, but its still a sufficient variety. I reccomend stopping off here if you want New York pizza.
Delicious Pizza! Offers a variety of combinations and also beers!
Horrible taste sodium intake is what A normal human body needs for two weeks in a single slice I think they want you to order a drink. That’s why the sodium content is so high. otherwise it’s not very difficult to make pizzaI will Avoid this place and choose a food truck if unhealthy food is on your mind.
I havent had pizza in Ny or Us, since 2008. I was expecting a good one. It was very bad and im.sure it was a day old. I could tell because it was pretty early in the day, i ussualy like cold pizza and i used to have a pizza place back in the day, ,we never put out the day before pizza in the window. And very expensive. The people there were very Nice.
Pizza is decent but watch out they will round up and keep the change. The price is too high for pizza and that’s coming from a New Yorker. Take you’re money somewhere else. Only on principle one slice and a Pepsi is $6.25 cashier said total is $7.00 and when I pointed it out she tried to give me 20 cents back lol
Good pizza and great staff
A quick slice for an extravagant New York price. The cheese and toppings are all fine, but the crust is kind of an odd texture. It’s this Frankenstein between a classic dollar pizza flop, a thin crust snap, and a Pizza Hut breadiness. It’ll do if you’re looking for random pizza, but it’s not really a New York experience (except shelling out the money, perhaps).
We were staying around the corner and popped in one evening to grab a late dinner. It was as clean as youd expect any other walk-thru pizza joint in midtown. Prices were reasonable, food wasnt bad, but my husband ordered (and paid for) a combo meal. Dropped the pizza, gyro and drink off at the table and went back to tbe counter to get our fries. Older gentleman proceeded to argue and half yell at him that he DIDNT get fries. When my husband asked, Then how did I get a drink? the older gentleman yelled over to the cashier to figure it out. She looked at my husbands receipt and said he did, in fact, need an order of fries. The only reason Im giving any stars is because the food was good. Thanks to service, we wont be back when were in town.
We went to NYC with family over Fathers Day weekend. We ate at famous Rays and it was absolutely delicious! The garlic knots, meat pizza, and meatball sub sandwich were all to die for. Worth the stop, you wont be disappointed!
DO NOT GO HERE! Horrible pizza! The building had water leaking from the ceilin falling by the toppings, the price jumps up once you get there and even after showing the lady the price on their site, she just says, well, do you want it or not. Hopefully my call to the health department will change things there.
Classic and Delicious! If you’re in Times Square wondering where you can get one of “those” New York City pizza slices, it’s Ray’s.
What a great pizza! Great selections and slices are huge! You can order by the slice or get the whole pie. They cook it right when you order, box it, and you are on the way or could eat there. Took mine to the hotel!
Good pizza, though it was pricey for by-the-slice pizza, this the 4 star instead of 5 star rating.
The customer service here ain’t the best, hell if your lucky they might act like your actually there, but the food is as New York as it gets and is quite delicious!
The pizza was good better then home (AZ). We did have a slightly better tasting pizza elsewhere- but I’m giving this place 5 stars due to their delightful service and they offer a seating area as well.
Over priced and very rude staff. Pizza slice is thrown at you.
Nice crispy bottom without burnt bits, awesome chewy crust, generous toppings. Awesome. Definitely try it!
I think it was okay & pizza got crossed off the list.
Worst service ever, that lady needs to go. I will never be back at this place if that lady is there.
2 slices and 2 drinks $15. Ripoff.
Anything with toppings is over 5 bucks a slice, trash quality bread and ingredients. Dont waste your time and money here there are so many better options within half a mile. Also the people working were very unfriendly.
The service for me was good and fast, I just didnt like that my pizza sat on the counter and was not covered. For $30 it should have been brought to my table. My only compliant.
Over $7 a slice!? Cmon….ridiculous
Love the pizza at Rays
Best Pizza Experience I’ve ever had! Max made our visit extra special! I don’t know why you would go anywhere else for pizza in NYC! Worth coming to this location!Don’t miss out.
Wanted to try a Famous Original Ray’s Pizza for a while, when my wife and I went to elope to New York our hotel was just down the street. Wasn’t let down! Great food and great service
I went a few days im conscutive as they seem to be the on quick slice of pizza place near the building Ive been working from. The store is not very clean and nothing I tried over the few days had any flavor. The product is not prepared with even an ounce of athenticity. Im sorry to share negative a post but Id not suggest this establishment.
Best pizza 🍕 crust 😋 I ever eaten.Stop by and grab a slice
Its good tasting pizza, nice size slices & friendly staff. If you sit in, be prepared for loud chatter in a bunch of languages from this tourist haven. It happens to be the only Pizza place left in the area.
Thd meatball sub was very average. i was charged $1 extra fir using my credit card
7$ slice of pepperoni pizzaExperience I don’t want to repeat
As a New Yorker, this is my least favorite pizza place. Go to Joes just below times square for a bomb slice or Gotham on 8th Ave for a decent slice. Both are light years ahead of this joint.
Kind of disappointed was a very big slice thats for sure but too much grease from the cheese not really well baked crust
Make sure to order garlic knots.
Awesome fresh pizza. The slices are huge. The ministrone soup was unbelievable. Very hot and homemade. Will definitely return when back in town!
$11 meatball parmesan the best deal. Love there meatball parmesan sandwiches.the bread is lightly toasted and the crust is crunchy to bite into the hot chewy cheese, the meat is always fresh and delicious and its only $11 the best deal.
Pizza ok. Overpriced and over-hyped.
Very rude. As a non American I didnt understand all the combos and when I asked I felt like I was being shouted at. I was looking forward to a New York pizza slice and because of the attitude it ruined the experience for me
We ordered a pineapple pizza and they delivered a pepperoni pizza... but we don’t eat meat. We called them and the person who answered cursed us out. We are very unimpressed with their service and do not recommend ordering from them
Awful, over priced pizza with horrible service. $6 for a specialty slice that has burnt crust and is below mediocre at best is ridiculous. Employees are rude as well, if youre in Manhattan and want pizza go anywhere but Rays. This is not NYC pizza.
Great pizza! Its $6 a slice when I went, but one slice is pretty big and filling. Bring your own water though, drinks are spendy.
Delicious pizza in a grungy locale. Maybe thats its charm?
It was gross and flavorless. 3,54 for a slice is way to much. I do like the fact that there is a free drink with the slice. I would recomend pizza petes. NASTY JAZZ
I would put 0 stars if I could, TERRIBLE SERVICE TERRIBLE PIZZA TERRIBLE PRICES just the worst pizza place in nyc
Stayed at The Wellington and stopped here for a easy dinner. We really liked the pizza. The people were nice. I would eat here again on my next trip
Disgusting restaurant that no employees wear a mask to protect consumers. Asked to use the restroom...advised to buy something In return which we did....after transaction refused to allow me to use the restroom. Never will this first responder eat from this gross place....
I love Rays pizza but this location has poor staff. The cashier was very unwelcoming and rude. She has no people skills. I would definitely have Rays again but AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
They had trouble undstanding our order. Gave us wrong pizza.. wanted to argue about it. Problem with non English speaking order taker. Pizza was so-so. Not the famous NY pizza wed expected.
Best pizza
Pizza sold by the slice. Thin crust with crisp texture, heated in their oven. Multiple level seating. Very informal and delicious.
The pizza is delicious, the service is fast & friendly and they’re open until 5am!! I love this place, I wish we had a Ray’s back home in South Africa.
If you want to experience New York Style pizza, Rays Pizza offers everything youve heard about pizza made the New York way!
Famous Rays Pizza is gooood!! Ate two meals there on our visit. Great salad! You can watch them make your pizza!!
Love pizza been here 17 years ago. Still great.
Pizza is cold. Wait for soup about 10 minutes. Won’t go there again
This is my favorite location (54th &7th) to grab a slice in the city.To give visiting friends and family the true New York experience; get a plain slice, teach them how to fold it and eat while walking down 7th into the beautiful chaos of Times Square.
Interesting and strong tasting pizzas. Overpriced? Indeed. But its minutes from Times Square and Central Park, so premium is to be expected. Not a designer interior, could not care less.
Fast and affordable. One of the better values for sure. Open until 5am.
Not even worth 1 star. Unfriendly staff. They scam everyone at the register, giving less change. And the pizza was not worth it. 45$ for 1 medium pizza and it was flavorless.
We have dubed it late night homeless pizza. Not the best but will do in a pinch.
Classic old school pizza joint. Lots of options and you can tell its a family business which I love to see.
Great service and tasty pizza
Couldn’t even order and the dude had such an attitude that we just left with no food.
Ok for a late night pizza in NYC when you have those Guinness induced munchies....!
Loved it the first time and went back the second time and it was even better if thats possible. Great people, amazing food and didnt open till 5 a.m. which makes me really really happy. Keep up the great job Ray!!!
Disgusting place. Wont come back.Save your money and find a better place.
Grab a NYC slice right before central park!
If you like to eat a slice and have flys around you this is the place very un hygienic disappointing to be honest as it seems it has the history but losing its touch for sureSlice was good tho
I got a bbq pizza, I assumed it was just a BBQ base. Instead they completely drowned it in cheap BBQ sauce on top after cooking it... paid $30 dollars too. Staff are pretty terrible
Good pizza big slices
Fantastic customer service and pizza. Staff was extremely friendly, pizza slices are huge. Will def. be back.
Excellent pizza! It really is true that the East Coast has the best pizza. Much better than what you can buy on the West Coast!
Good cheap pizza. You get what you pay for and this hits the spot.
Big pizzas loaded with a lot of toppings but wasnt great quality honestly Dominos is better and thats saying a lot.
Pizza is good bit too strong for my taste, and the service is quite bad considering the price. And they charge for a bottled beer more than some local pubs...
Very good pizza
The best pizza in the best corner of City. Overwhelmed with all the variety of pizzas.
For 7 bucks that was super basic. There’s a dollar slice spot two blocks away that had way better slices for way cheaper
Price was too oooh high and the food wasnt really good. You were able to taste the used oil in the fries.
Great slice
Good tasting NY Pizza
Loved the pizza but not until I saw a long hair on one of the whole pizzas, told the guy he grab the pizza looked at it and just put it back.

2022-06-28If I could give this place six stars, I would. This is New York style pizza at its finest! The crust is crisp, but not too much and the dough has a nice sweetness. The sauce has a good tang and a touch of sweet and they use just the right amount of cheese (which is melted perfectly). They are generous with the toppings and one slice can make a meal. But it is so good, you may go back for another. I know that New Yorkers like to fold their pizza, but this is better flat so that you can enjoy the experience longer.

2022-05-07While strolling found this place and the name Rays striked as been referred by many vloggers.Tried the Margherita pizza and was incredible. The crust was crispy at bottom and really fresh.

2022-06-25We tried a couple different places and Ray’s was the best. The chicken bacon ranch, Penna ala vodka, and sausage pepperoni and onion slices were very good! Lots of variety! We’d need to come back to try them all!

2021-12-27There’s no way to visit New York without visiting one of the “Original Ray’s Pizza.” There’s like 50 of these “original” locations, so finding one wherever you may travel won’t be hard to do.This one certainly didn’t disappoint. At nearly 10:00 on a Sunday night the line was out the door and my calzone was exactly what I was hoping for: greasy, cheesy, filled with pepperoni, and the crust was unbelievably fresh. The servers were a little edgy and no matter your order number the update was always the same, “It’s not ready.”Having said that, I can’t wait to come back! And that’s “Henry’s Take.”@henrystake

2022-03-31Pizza was actually pretty good and my fiance also enjoyed her slice. I left out the other 2 stars, the decor was in need of John taffer. Not so clean and a bit rude,or abrasive, when speaking to customers.

2022-05-27$7 for 1 slice of mediocre pizza. The seating is really poor. The pizza itself is decent. This is about the quality of an outdoor halal stand.
