We love the pizza, but after ordering here for a while the small issues started adding up. We love the monster and veggie pizzas. I order them well cooked and they come out crispy and delicious! The issues we experience are as follows. None of the staff wear masks behind the counter, which does not seem like the safest practice during the pandemic. I was charged for an XL when I ordered a L - the clerk corrected the problem by giving me back a couple dollars but only after she ran my card and I had to explain the issue to her and point to the prices listed on the board. And the pizza sizes seem to be shrinking. The XL normally overfills the box but has recently just barely filled the box. Maybe they gave me a L instead? Either way, the inconsistency is not great. read more

Famous Ray's Pizza - What not open??? Where's my slice? - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

It's Thursday June 3 @ 1pm. Whoever is working in the kitchen doesn't know how to cut pizza. Either they are cutting the pizza too fast or they simply don't know how to use a pizza cutter OR both. This is my very first time trying Famous Ray's Pizza. I opened the pizza box and the very first thing I said was, "Who cut this pizza, a baby?" The lines are crooked, giving each pizza slice a very odd shape. It's off putting. The pizza taste good but I really wished the pizza was sliced properly. read more

Never again. Ordered 2 pizzas (Hawaiian and Meat Lovers) and the last afternoon. How can a pizza with all that meat have no flavor whatsoever and the Hawaiian fluctuated between bland to overly salty. We threw out the pizza. What a waste. read more

Back for more offspring food. One cheese and one capricolo pizza. Both large for multiple meals. They were tasty and had an excellent crust. Have had 4 pizzas from here in the past week. I personlly liked their specialy pizza. The Greek Pizza was my favorite. Great taste with feta cheese, onions, olives and peppers. read more

Down 1 star for their pizza just being okay. I ordered the plain cheese. Lost 1 star for "misplacing" my online order. Lost another star for being completely unapologetic for losing my order. You only get one opportunity to make a good first impression. read more

So before we dove into the rice pudding last night, I thought we should eat something with some more substance and nutrition... and although I'm not the biggest pizza fan, I swear I've heard somewhere that pizza is considered the perfect balanced meal! I did make a spinach salad to go along with it, but calling ahead to Ray's was quick and easy. We ordered one large Sicilian cheese pizza (actually, Jared ordered it this way - I would've ordered some fun toppings but oh well) for the four of us to share. Turns out it was plenty... One piece was just enough for me - they are big slices and even with the guys eating two slices each, there were a couple leftover slices too! Ray's was pretty impressive - if you like a little bit of grease on the pizza, Ray's delivers just that... I followed my friend's lead and blotted it a bit with a napkin before diving in and devouring my slice. I would 100% take out from Ray's again... it was reasonably priced ($16.50 for a large - actually, that may be a bit pricey for pizza but since I don't eat it very often, I am kind of clueless); it travels well, and I bet leftovers are just as good if not better - actually, I'll find out today when I have them for lunch! read more

Overall this was a good and fairly cheap pizza place. I would go back here again as I enjoyed the meal and the price service and ambience were all good, that said I wouldn't say they really nailed it all. Far and away the biggest positive was the best thing about the experience. The crust was great! They're going for a great NY style crust and they clearly got that. My 11yo son, not typically a fan of crust per say, felt it was especially good. The bad I would have to say were the toppings. Sausage and pepperoni were both good, neither were anything special or exciting. The clear biggest disappointment of the meal were the pepper on the pizza; pretty sure they were canned. My wife suggested maybe they were sautéed, maybe they were, but had an old flavor to them and just had that very mushy texture to me. Place looked clean, menu board was easy to read, plenty of parking, staff seemed friendly enough. Nice place to go and get a pizza to go and felt with such a good crust it was worth the price, if they just put a little better toppings; maybe something more interesting and fresher. I'd say 4 stars pretty solidly for this place fits this place and if they make a few changes could be great all around as I'd say the crust is the hardest thing to get right. read more

Whoever the two older gentlemen working Friday night shouldn't be anywhere near customers or food. So last I check we have this pandemic going on that requires all of us to wear masks and such. No one working was wearing masks or gloves. In fact, one of the guys was wearing a tank top who was cooking. Nothings better than some possible armpit hair and sweat falling into my food. Since the whole covid thing is going on I had to order take out. I got there and food wasn't ready so I was waiting. The two older guys were complaining so much they had to work. One was saying how they've been working for the past hour... on top of all the whining and moaning I heard at least five f bombs while me and another customer was waiting for food. I think that is so unprofessional and inappropriate. My food was finally ready and he shouted my name then practically threw the bag at me. I understand it's tough times but you shouldn't treat customers who are still coming to your restaurant like that. After seeing the lack of cleanliness on top of everything else I will not being back. I couldn't careless if the wings are great. read more

A little disappointing Today was my first time ordering fromthis place. I was excited to find a local spot close by. I ordered two slices of pizza with sausage pepperoni, mushrooms and peppers, and fried zucchini The server was nice, I was disappointed by the pizza it wasn't fresh. (It tasted old, then they threw the additional toppings on the old pizza and reheated it). This made the texture of the crust harder. The fried zucchini was a little under cooked. I am a foodie and know good pizza. I'll have to give it a second try an actually order a whole pizza and not a slice to see what the difference is in taste. The food was decent but not amazing. It just tasted like already cooked reheated food. read more

I ordered some garlic knots and an antipasto salad last night via DoorDash. And sadly enough I was pretty disappointed. The garlic knots were OK at best however they were supposed to come with sauce and they didn't. The antipasto salad was fair again. It wasn't traditional antipasto salad. I probably will not give it another try. read more

I ordered from this location on accident and it was the worst mistake I've made. No one in the building was wearing a mask and the lady behind the counter couldn't wipe the disgusting attitude off of her face so maybe she should. Everything about this pizza was a disappointment... canned mushrooms, soggy crust, barely melted cheese. I put it in the oven for a minute when I got home and it made it slightly better but not much. I only got through a few bites and put it down. Save your money and go to a different Ray's location. read more

I tried this place because as a native New Yorker, pizza in AZ is always a disappointment. This place is great! I will definitely be back. The slices were delicious and as close to NY pizza as you're gonna get out here. read more

I live in Chandler and I wish we had Ray's Pizza in the East Valley. A lot of people push the New York Style pizza but the taste does not even come close. Hats off to Ray's for making a great tasting pizza. So many family owned businesses financially are struggling amidst this Covid crisis. To write a bad review on businesses that is already hurting due to this pandemic is just thoughtless. How do you expect a cook in a hot kitchen to wear a mask and breath. I support Ray's Pizza and they get a 5 star review from me. read more

New York Pizza and wings was good for my first experience with them in event in a good location

I used to be regular customer at Scottsdale location. I was in the Phoenix area and ordered a veg pizza and its the worst. Undercooked pizza and veggies and it's no way closer to the pizza at Scottsdale location. read more

I've been passing Ray's for ages. Grocery shopping was done a little later than normal and it was too late to start up on a meal, so pizza was the choice for dinner. We weren't doing a national chain... Ray's was the closest and best option. We ordered the massive 19" pizza, and zucchini sticks. Walking into Famous Ray's, I had to step out for a second because I wasn't sure I was still in Phoenix. I thought that I had stepped into a portal that took me to New York. The smell in the shop was amazing. The food, the food tasted better than the shop smelled. The crust was outstanding it was airy and crunchy. The sauce had a good consistency and didn't taste sugary. The toppings. Oh god the amount of toppings on the pizza was just incredible. I want to go back. I want more. read more

Fantastic NYC style pizza! Large slices. Great sauce. Always hot! When you can fold the slice, it's great Za! Molto Bene! read more

I called Rays at 845 to find out what time they close. The lady said they close at 10. I drove 20 minutes to arrive at 905 and the two young workers had already locked the doors and yelled at us they were closed. They closed 55 minutes early. Not only did I call ahead but their website stated they were open until 10pm. Business should pay attention to when they publish their closing times so patrons don't end up driving 40 minutes for nothing. read more

Only location open during the holidays , 5 star attitude, customer service and works efficient. Will definitely be back .

Very average. Not sure if they were just having a bad day, but we ordered a few things for pickup. When we got home, we realized that they made our pizza wrong and added olives to the vegetarian Stromboli, which was not on the menu. Also, everything was just very bland. My husband called and told them, and their response was, "sorry, we are busy." Sorry, not acceptable. Back to Barro's for us. read more

This one star is well deserved simply for bad service when it comes to customer satisfaction. They only have Pepsi products as fountain drinks and are charging $2.50 for a can of coke. When I ask for a cup to pour my coke into to add ice, I'm told that a cup costs an additional $0.45. Mind you, a small fountain drink costs $2.15! Those prices aren't comparable and that's a rip-off all around. Can't make me see it any other way. read more

Excellent pizza! Great staff and welcoming dining area with tons of 'wall art' to look at when you eat there! Quality takes time so for take out Make sure to order 25-30min in advance. My new local favorite! read more

Being from Chicago and the fact I can't consume tomatoes, I was leery as I always am, on how their white pizza would taste. I was so pleasantly surprised at the quality and tastiness of the pizza. I also ordered beef pepperoni to top it off and I am just beyond impressed. Don't change your white pizza recipe ever ! read more

Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait, but everything I've had from here has been amazing and well worth the wait time. Try the chicken parmesan sandwich! read more

I ordered a large half greek half cheese pizza and a large garlic knots from this place last night: - garlic knots were tasteless: literally bread with garlic thrown in the box. Nothing tasting like garlic knots. - the worst is the pizza: first, the toppings are not what was mentionned in the menu. The Greek pizza doesn't include peperocini. Also, it was missing tomotoes. The worst part, that the toppings weren't even coocked. They were thrown over an old, probably misdelivered cheese pizza. I'm new to the area, but I have 9 years of pizza experience and that's why I promote family owned spots, but this was simply disgusting. At this point, it doesn't matter how good the crust is, because simply what they did was disrespectful and unethical. Never ever again! read more

I am re-posting since I noticed my review was under the not recommended review. So again here is why you should NEVER eat at this location! I am only giving a one-star review because a selection is required. I will never order from this location again and neither should you! I ordered five extra large pizzas of different variety and found a thin metal screw in one of the pizzas. I am not even sure that this is a screw or a piece of broken metal from some machinery used during the preparation of the pizzas. I cannot believe it. The screw was literally cooked into the pizza. Disgusting! Finding a screw in one pizza made me extremely apprehensive about the other four pizzas. Had I or anyone else swallowed the screw it could have caused serious internal damage. That's how sharp the metal screw is. If I can attach a picture, I will. To make matters worse, I called and was told there was nothing they would do other than re-make the pizza. Why would I want a new pizza to find more metal cooked into it? After being told they would not refund me, the person I was speaking with proceeded to tell me that they don't use metal in their kitchen and that he has no clue how the metal got in the pizza. They refuse to take accountability or at least show concern that this metal was found in my food. His exact words were "come back on Monday and MAYBE someone else will be able to help." Absolutely unbelievable! Do not order from this location because they clearly don't care about our health. If I found a sharp metal screw in my pizza, I wonder what else goes overlooked in other pizzas. Thankfully, we found the screw before ingesting it. I'm so grateful none of the kids had this pizza! read more

Just stopped here for lunch. 2 slices comes with a free soda! Tried 1 slice of the white pizza and 1 slice of the Sicilian. A friend of mine told me to try the Sicilian pizza years ago and I never took his recommendation. Boy was he correct! Sicilian pizza is banging! read more

I ordered one slice of pizza and garlic bread.. The slice of pizza I had was so soggy I couldn't even finish it. Absolutely disgusting. It was falling apart. They seem to take the literal Sense of garlic bread.. they put about 20 cloves of fresh garlic on my bread. I tasted nothing but garlic. It was literally garlic with a bit of bread and butter. Not bread with some garlic. I had to clean off all the garlic they put on the bread.. still didn't taste right so I ended up paying almost $9 for nothing. I threw it all out, because none of it was edible. I will never come here again, and never suggest this place to anyone. read more

Over priced. Can you only get delivery if you order online and then they automatically add a tip I won't buy from them again. By the time they got done it was $100 for two pizzas. Ill go back to Venezias. read more

First time, last time. Called to order a medium pizza for carry out, specifically asked if they can accommodate a thin crust extra cheese well done pizza. Easy enough, not really though. Picked up a pizza and brought it home to which turned out to be a casserole. When I called to inform the extra slow phone operator about what happened, he said " our medium pizza is thick. We put too much dough in it, & next time please ask for like super thin". No offer to remake the pizza, nothing to make it right. What a disappointment. Save yourselves a time go across the street to Papa John's.. read more

Horrible customer service !! Apparently they pick a day out of the week to do online orders only, and then they don't have a way for you to order online. Mind you I called the store to place my order and the guy told me I had to order online for a pickup . Couldn't find anywhere to order so I called the store back and someone else answered and then she tells me oh we are having troubles with our site for ordering . "Try door dash or Uber eats" my manager says . All of this for a large pepperoni? No thank you. I'll take my business else where read more

I ordered through DoorDash. I ordered 20 wings and a large two topping pizza. I got 12 wings delivered. I don't know what happened between the store giving the order to the dasher and it being delivered missing 90% of the food I paid for. I hit help on the DoorDash app and asked for a reorder on the pizza not having opened the wings container. The wings had only 12 instead of 20. I tried to get help from DoorDash and they said they compensated me for the pizza. I said there was no compensation but a reorder. They said that they don't have to refund me per the agreement I made with them in the app. Utter garbage. I called the store to make them aware that I never got the pizza and half the wings. I was told that was a DoorDash problem. I let them know that I was just wanted to know how the dashers pick up food. I was told that they show the order on the phone and that the dasher can't leave without the whole order. Between DoorDash and the store I am completely frustrated and will not EVER use DoorDash or this store again. I was robbed. read more

I ordered the pizza for delivery. Delivered by Grubhub. The pizza was FREAKING ICE OLD! I ordered a 3 item pizza and mushrooms were just thrown on and there was a lot of the pizza that didn't even have mushrooms. I called the store to explain that it was cold and all I got was some smart-ellick kid that said "call grubhub that's not our problem"! Called Grubhub and got a refund. I'll never eat there again because the pizza was late, employees are rude, and their "delivery service" is horrible! read more

I've been a customer since I moved to AZ in 2015, and I was surprised how NYC Style the place, people and pizza is. Having also lived in NYC. I appreciate the dedication to their authenticity. And I also really enjoy everyone's authentic attitudes. I always get the nots a giant pie (white or pepperoni) and a calzone no sauce just mozzarella and spinach, which id like to add is ALWAYS tasty. Their antipasto is delicious too. I like to get salad with my carbs. But hey that's just me. This is by far my favorite pizza joint. And I eat it for days after too because I'm a cold pizza lover as well. I'm a little disappointed that more people aren't writing good reviews. I love these guys!! Thanks for always making my tummy happy!! read more

I have been craving New York pizza & am soooo happy I found this place!! Everyone was extremely friendly & welcoming. The lady at the register who had just flew in from NY was my favorite, I enjoyed conversating with her. I purchased the $10 for $20 deal on YELP & tried getting the special large cheese pizza with 20 wings for $20.95 but the owner said it wasn't valid with my coupon, that was the only thing I didn't like. Pizza is HUGE, garlic bread & wings are amazing & fullfilled my craving! I will definitely be back soon!!! read more
