    Pepperoni, sausage & bacon pizza

    We were looking for a place to try some good NY style on the way home from church today and found Little Ray's on the NE corner of 59th Ave and the 101. They serve slices every day, par-baked cheese and can then add any other toppings. From 11a-4p daily, they have a lunch special: 2 slices + drink for $8.65, with extra toppings $0.75 each. That's a pretty ballpark price for good NY slices, from what I've seen around the Valley (we were just at Buono's WF last Friday and the same special was $8.99). They add Sicilian slices to this repertoire on Fridays, with new pies going into the oven around 11am and 3pm. When assessing a new place, I like to start with a good baseline, a plain cheese slice. And Little Ray's did not disappoint. They make their dough and sauce in-house daily. Their NY style is a thin, light crust with a nice crunch, especially on the back end. Good cook on the crust, too; the undercarriage held up well and although it had a little bit of flop, it wasn't too bad and was very fold-friendly. Great ratio of cheese to sauce, which to us had just the right level of sweetness. I got photos of everything but the flop; sorry, will make a note for next time. My second slice was pepperoni. Although I prefer pepperoni cups, this was good, too, and as you can see from the photos, there was PLENTY of it. My last slice was pepperoni, sausage and bacon. I thought the sausage had plenty of flavor yet was not fatty. My wife had 2 slices of Hawaiian, which she loved. Our server, Matt, was very friendly and attentive. Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Little Ray's and have added it to our west side short list when we want some quick and delicious NY slices!

    The menu is big and includes appetizers, pizzas, and warm plates. The food is delicious and served in abundance (expect leftovers!) We have tried their pizzas (perfect thin crust that holds toppings in place - no floppy pizza here!), fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and cheesy tortellini so far. Absolutely amazing food and service! Three tv's play in the seating area, which is nice and clean. Bathrooms are clean, too. We expect to become regulars here.

    Pizza is some of the best I've had! Love a good NY slice. Staff was very nice as well. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I love trying new pizza spots so I was excited to see this place open not super far from us! We called in our order, a large half cheese half jalapeño pizza with cheesy garlic bread. It was ready right on time and pickup was easy! We wished there was a little more cheese burn on the cheesy garlic bread but it wasn't bad at all! The pizza was big and pretty tasty! Only complaint was that the crust was a little floppier than we like but it was still delicious! Sauce had a little spice to it which we enjoyed! Glad we tried it!

    A MUST if you are a pizza lover. I have been here twice in the past week and we live up near Cave Creek. Worth the drive. Today we had the Monster Pizza and it was mouth watering. Just look at the pictures. Next time we are coming for the Italian food, stuffed shells are made daily and I hear the fettuccine Alfredo is to die for.

    Little Rays Pizzeria was just delicious! We ordered the gnocchi , meatballs, pizza, and Caesar salad--everything was a perfect 10 out of 10. The service was absolutely amazing, and everyone there was super welcoming. We even spilled a drink, and they immediately ran over to help us clean up. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town!

    Came to Lil Rays after working at the adjacent EOS. I was pleased to see that they offered pizza by the slice. I decided to get 2 slices to go. The pizza was served on a plate, wrapped in a bag. I stupidly put it on my lap, grease seeped through the bag everywhere. It was a bit of a turn off. Pizza was fair, I'd maybe try something else if I come back.

    Medium cheese. Ordered default.

    First time there. Only thing I did not like was a slight smell from cigar store next to it…read more It was the BEST BLT sandwich I have ever had. Bacon was crispy and everything was fresh and toasted just right Service very friendly. I will definitely be going back.

    NOTE: they may be open, but we were told that they do not serve food for the first 30 mins…read more We came when they opened and were told we would have to wait a half hour to eat anything besides pastry. Annoying, honestly. But we walked around Home Depot next door to kill the time. We sat outside and were disappointed most of the chairs had not been cleaned (almost all of them had some bird poop on them), but we managed to find two chairs that were clean. The chairs themselves are not comfortable, though, and I would be remiss if I didn't warn my thick thigh/bigger hipped girlies to let you know they have wire bucket chairs that can be very uncomfortable to sit in. All that said, the food was good! The service was also good. We enjoyed our coffees which were very good, shared an apple pastry warmed up that was very flavorful and fresh, and shared a high protein egg white plate all very tasty. Would we come back? Maybe. Also: how are you called the black and white cafe and don't have a black and white cookie?! Seems like a huge missed opportunity there! Overall, the dining experience outside was less than desirable with the dirty tables and chairs. Also them not serving food when they opened seems like a mismanagement issue. But the food was good (so perhaps we would recommend sitting inside rather than outside).

They offer a…read morevariety of salads, wraps, and grain bowls, with plenty of options to create your own bowls and wraps too. On this visit, I ordered the Don Quixote, which came with crisp mixed greens, southwestern chicken, fresh avocado, mango chunks, diced apples, roasted corn, and creamy ginger dressing. The combination of textures worked well together, it had a nice crunch and was flavorful. My only criticism is that they should pay closer attention to ingredient quality. Some of the apple pieces in my bowl had browned flesh, which took away from an otherwise fresh experience.

    The food here is a total miss, especially the Mac and Cheese, which is honestly disgusting. Instead…read moreof being creamy and cheesy, it's a watery, mushy mess that tastes like it sat under a heat lamp for way too long. For a place that acts like it's high-quality, serving pasta that tastes this cheap and flavorless is just wrong. The rest of the menu isn't much better; everything is surprisingly bland and lacks any real kick. You'd expect "Mad" flavors, but you get food that tastes like nothing. It's frustrating to pay these prices for a meal that satisfies absolutely no cravings and leaves you wishing you'd just eaten at home. The service is just as bad as the food because it is incredibly slow. Even if the line is short, the employees move like they're in slow motion and don't care that people are on their lunch breaks. You end up standing around forever just to get a basic order, which makes the whole experience feel like a chore. The staff seems totally checked out, which makes the long wait feel even more annoying. There's no hustle or friendly energy at all. It's hard to justify coming back when you know you're going to waste half your afternoon waiting for a meal that wasn't even worth the time. As for the atmosphere, it is incredibly boring and dull. The restaurant feels cold and sterile, with zero decorations or personality to make it feel welcoming. It has the same "blah" vibe as a doctor's office waiting room, which really kills any enjoyment of the meal. Overall, between the gross Mac and cheese and the lifeless environment, there's no reason to visit this spot. If you want a better meal, you're better off looking for local favorites on Yelp or checking the Fast Casual site for better-rated chains. It's just not worth the disappointment.
