This place does serve some pretty good pizza. The atmosphere though doesn't look all that great. I do like though is that they do have pictures around the place that do scream out America. Any kind of pizza that you order would be good. read more

Famous Ray's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The white pizza was so disappointing, it ruined my Sunday. And the price? Ridiculous, not worth it. The mushrooms obviously came from a can. There was barely any garlic. They ran out of spinach, but did they adjust the price based on one less ingredient? No. We spent so much time and effort searching for the best pizza for cheat day, and this was what we ended up with. NOT worth it. Depressed the cheat was wasted & so was my money. Never going here again. read more

Hey, this is just authentic New York style Pizza from this family out of Brooklyn, New York! Great Neopolitan and Sicilian style pizza. Take it from a true pizza lover from NY...I've been a regular at this spot for 18 years. Make this place a regular stop if you like great pizza. This is a family owned and operated pizza shop. read more

Went for the first time and wasn't overly impressed. For whatever reason restaurants in the Valley tend to be a bit on the salty side and Ray's was no exception. I had their pizza and wing combo special. Pizza was pretty good, nice crunchy crust, baked perfectly. The sausage and pepperoni was very good, but pepperoni was salty. And just the right amount of red sauce. But the cheese wasn't very cheesy and could've used a bit more mozzarella. The wings were not very good. They were very dry, almost like it was reheated from yesterday's batch. And they were salty as hell. And to make it worse, the hot and medium hot sauce (which wasn't tossed all over the wings) were even more salty. If I were to ever go back it would be to try their lasagna and their meat pies, but never again for their pizza or wings... Too many better options in the valley. read more

Ambience: Old school, nothing fancy but not dirty either. New York memorabilia covers the walls in this small, 64 person occupancy dining room. A tv in the corner invariably shows ESPN. Service: Very New York. Even the accents. These guys are short, to the point, yet very helpful. They lack that west coast bubbliness that is typical of AZ servers, but they are no less attentive. Food: One of my top 3 pizza places in the valley, I can't talk it up enough. Crust is thin and perfectly chewy, toppings are good quality and very flavorful. Wings are crispy on the outside, and they have excellent buffalo sauce. Price: A bit steep for pizza, they have a deal for a large pizza and a dozen wings for 24.95 that is pretty reasonable. Be prepared to pay about $30.00 for two. I've been to this location at least 5 times and I plan to visit even more in the future. Don't confuse this Rays with others, it is truly unique. read more

If you are looking for the "New York pizza" this is the place,the whole family behind the counter is wonderfull "Momma" works her ass off and so do all the boys .cold beer and the best pizza ever .look no where else read more

Wings are amazing! The pizza is pretty decent, but could use better cheese. The cheese separates instead of stretches. The atmosphere is NY feeling and so are the people who work there. read more

I have to say Manny was as am awesome guy. I realize some are not as well off. He went over and beyond to help someone and it totally touched my heart. You need more employees like him. He was discreet in the way he helped someone in need. We need more people like him. Also, the food was great as always. Thanks Ray! I was born in NY so I know :) read more

Save your money! Hubby got the thick pepperoni (looked like it came from a frozen pizza). He said it tasted like a low quality pizza. I ordered a calzone. It's very large for the price (that's a plus) but didn't have a lot of flavor. Garlic knots are not authentic like you would expect from a New York style pizza place. The only thing that was worthwhile was the cheesecake. Be sure to make sure everything in your order is accounted for. They missed something in the order of the guy in front of me and almost left out one of my items as well. Also! They are not wearing masks. If that bothers you, definitely find another place to go. read more

A co-worker of mine had recommended this place to me for a good slice of pizza. Especially for the lunch special because of the price. I was over all satisfied with my pizza. It was freshly made and tasted great. The cashier and server were also nice. You can also tell the employees here are very friendly. The only downside for me was the container that holds the red peppers. I love adding spice to any pizza I eat, but the thought of shaking the dusty container over my food was a bit of a turn off. Other than that over all good. read more

We ate here 20 years ago and then moved away. Just came back for a visit and it's still delicious. The service is very friendly and the pizza is amazing. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The sliced sausage topping is my favorite. Pizza slice with sausage and pepperoni, dipped in ranch dressing.. Yum! read more

Not to happy with my pizza I ask for thin crust I got regular pizza crust hot wings look like they where from a little bird never again will I go there again nasty read more

I had a great time tonight at Rays, I ordered a couple slices and wings to go and sat and stayed while it was cooked. Sierra was amazing, her yellow outfit contrasted from the cooks so I knew who to order from and she was so pleasant and overall just fun to chat with while my order was made (took longer cause I always order crispy wings). Def recommend! read more

The store near Bell and 7th St. was filthy. The employee making the pizza obviously had a cold or sniffles or something. Repeatedly touched his face and handled the food. My slice of pizza was very good. But the utensils were all soiled, the tables were dirty, windows dirty, etc. Been to this and other Ray's pizza locations many times. read more

This is simple, straight-forward NY pizza done right. Do take-out instead of dining-in because the dining area is just an afterthought. Also, don't let the cashier's New York attitude scare you off, the pizza is worth it. Wings aren't bad either. read more

I've been coming here for years for my calzones. Today something was definitely different. I believe the restaurant was sold and the new owners didn't buy all the recipes..... read more

I ordered a Sicilian by mistake. Pizza arrived half cooked. Very doughy. It's pretty awful.

This is the BEST PIZZA I've had here in Phoenix, seriously out of this world. The neopolitan/new york style is amazing, the cheese is nice and gooey, the crust is nice and chewy, and the bottom of the pizza is slightly crunchy. The sauce they use is perfect, sweet but just enough. I seriously cannot say enough about how great this place is. When my boyfriend called to place an order for pickup he took too long and got hung up on, with a curt "We're busy, your pizza will be ready in 20" in true New York style. Love it! read more

Fast service. Great pizza. Ordered an XL and it was very crispy on bottom...which is hard to do but they did it! Definitely would go back. read more

Moved here from the east coast a few months ago and I've been hard pressed finding an even half decent pizza joint, until I found Rays. Their pizza is amazing and I will definitely be coming back. Blows all the other pizza places I've tried out of the water. read more

I love Famous Ray's! I'm kinda boring in that my fav is simply cheese pizza. Theirs is the best! They don't deliver so get comfortable with you Eat24, Postmates, or Uber Eats app. It's worth it. You can eat there but the staff seems to be in a bad mood all the time. Not enough attitude for me to go elsewhere - just that I'd rather take it home. The pizza is good! read more

Food was so cold when we got it. We got wings and the sauce was all over the box. The pizza looked like it could've been found in the frozen food section at a grocery store. Also no masks in sight. Not good at all. read more

Good pizza and wings at a good price. Can't really go wrong with Famous Rays

First off, I LOVE NYC Pizza and I've had theirs a few times, but THIS time, they ruined my appetite for their food, PERMANENTLY. (I am visually impaired and use the standard white cane) So I go in there. place my order, tell her I want a "white" soda and she gives me some pink drink. As I'm trying to find some hand sanitizer, I realize that not only do they have none, but they have the restrooms barricaded off. Awesome. Then, while I'm waiting for my pizza, I hear them openly complaining about another employee, as if they don't have all day to talk about this without a customer standing there. (Arizona opened up restaurant restrictions, with masks and social distancing in place) I'm looking for an open table when I realize, they ALL have signs on them, so I ask when they'll "open up". The girl says to me, "Not for a WHILE. We LIKE it this way." (they also don't deliver) So there I am, shopping bag in tow, hoodie over the shoulder, purse over the other shoulder, drink in hand, white cane in the other, and she hands me 2 slices of pizza, on a paper plate, in a PAPER BAG. I look at her like WTF. I ask her what she would do if she were me? She says, " Grab the bag and hold it with your finger." I, of course, look at her like she's an imbecile and ask for a box, so she says that they only have the 29" size, then askes if I want a refund. I clumsily grab everything, and go outside, no shade in sight, and eat my food, crouched down, on the nasty ass concrete. They could NOT POSSIBLY care less about customers or courtesy. I'll be writing letters to the Health Department, the Beemer Business Bureau, and anyone else willing to listen. All I wanted was some damn pizza. Instead I left feeling frustrated and de-humanized. read more

Best lasagna I've ever had! And portions are huge! You can tell the family puts work into their food. Definitely New York style food and attitude (which I loved). This place is now my go to for Italian food. Even the loaf of bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and soft inside! I'll be back, very soon! read more

Famous Ray's Pizza - Set lasagna I've ever had! And only $8.95 with salad and bread loaf! - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered this meal through GrubHub. We wanted to try something different. The price point is a little high, but you get a huge amount. We ordered a medium pepperoni and mushroom pizza, the crust was a little to thick for me and a tad undercooked. The Stromboli which had mushrooms was decent. My son did not like the mushrooms, which were obviously canned, I can tell, which leads me to believe that their ingredients aren't as fresh as they should be. I will not be ordering from this pizza joint anymore because there are too many places that I would rather overpay for this kind of food. read more

It was my birthday a couple weeks ago, so I figured, what better way to celebrate than with some NY pizza! Granted, the place was a little out-of-date, sorely in need of a soapy scrubbing and the guy who took my order could have been polite enough to HANG UP THE CELLPHONE while he took my order. Honestly, I didn't know when he was talking to me or the phone. Other than that, he was friendly enough, the pizza didn't take long (I stood & waited while it baked), and the order-taker guy helped out an elderly gentleman to order more food for less money (how sweet, right?). I had my favorite combo: mushroom & onion. it was greasy, cheesy & just perfect! The crust was crisp, the pie was hot. The only thing I could complain about was I did have a couple of onionskin pieces on the pizza. Overall, tasty slices & I'd be pleased to enjoy another pizza, but I might order beforehand. read more

So much closer to authentic Italian/American cooking. The sauce was good, very good. The dough was a little old, which made it a little chewy...., but that didn't take away from the overall pizzaee goodness much. I had a pepperoni, extra mushroom pizza and they piled on the mushrooms. It was such a relief to find a pizza place in Phoenix that resembles a good old fashioned NY pizza parlor. I will be back and am still searching for the best pizza, which hopefully I will find someday, then I can die a happy man. lol read more

Pretty damn good. Haven't gotten around to trying their calzones yet, but their pizza has a good thin but chewy crust. Wings aren't going to blow your skirt up (I was wearing a skirt when I tried them, so I would know) but they won't blow your skirt down either (this, again, is based on my own research). The other thing that I love, having spent some time on the east coast, is just how Jersey these guys are. They're surly as hell, yet somehow endearing. Embrace it. read more

Vendor rays pizza refused to accept offer from phone screen stating they had no bar code reader. When I payed cash I was not given a receipt and when I asked for one I was told there was no way to print one, but she could write it down for me. What good is that? read more

Pizza is good but their customer service over the phone and in person is incredibly rude. My pizza wasn't even cut when I got home! They use canned mushrooms and like I said above it's the customer service!! read more

Hands down the best NY Style pizza place in AZ. Other say they are rude but clearly the people who claim that are not from NY. It's also worth noting that all Ray's PIzza places ARE NOT the same. I've tried them all and this is the best of the best. Sauce is excellent. Shout out to Ronnie and the entire staff!! I'll always be a lifer here. read more

Ok guys and girls. Let me start off by saying I love pizza. And I have eaten at a lot of pizza places and rays has to be one of the best places for pizza. Even my 5 year old loved the pizza and he is a big time picky eater. The lady behind the counter has one of the best personalities. Straight Forward honest. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Famous Ray's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Pizza is really quite delicious, they've achieved a great crust, both crispy and chewy, not too much sauce, just the right amount of cheese...but it is also very greasy so if you're sensitive to that, (which I am not!), then be forewarned. The reason for the three stars is due to the service, I really hope the guys behind the counter were just having a bad day because not once did they smile at anybody or even say thank you. Everyone there just seemed used to it and maybe that's how people from New York are? I prefer friendliness, and a little goes a long way, especially if I chose your place of business over the hundred other pizza places dotting Phoenix and you'd like me to come back. I probably will, because as I said the pizza is delicious but probably not to dine in. read more

Bad A$$ Pizza!!! Victor is awesome! Just like your in New York eating the best pizza with a perfected crunch to the crust. Great not your average topping as well! Will be a regular! read more

Best New York pizza around! Nothing better than Ray's Pizza and Monday night football!

I did not stop to dine, so I'm talking about the survice. It was nothing like I was use to. I ordered a Lage pepperoni cheese pizza with mild wings and 2 deserts. The pizza was heavy, the texture of the cheese through me off. It was a lot greasy. The taste was on the salty side and the cheese broke apart way to easy no cheesy stings to it at all. Crust was ruff, and the sauce was a different taste. Did not enjoy my pizza. Wings were ok. The dessert was great. I never had a coloni before. If I had to choose just one thing to improve. It would be the cheese! read more

OMG this place is amazing!. The best place to go when you have a urge for some amazing east coast style pizza the crust is always great when I go here the employees have the new york style feel every time you go here they treat you like family .I would recommend this place to everyone in the valley. The chicken wings are by far the best wings I have ever had...... read more
