Decent, quick and reasonably priced pizza. This place can definitely be added to the repertoire for takeout nights. We ordered a few apps, a few pizzas and a salad for takeout, which was quoted about half an hour. We arrived right on time and the food was ready to go. Customer service was quick and efficient - not overly friendly, but definitely welcoming enough. They seemed to be pretty busy, but it wasn't chaotic. Parking lot however, was totally chaotic. There are lots of other businesses in the strip mall and it seemed to be rush hour for all of them. Appetizers: we got the toasted ravioli and the fried mushrooms. We enjoyed both, but they definitely weren't ideal as takeout. I guess that's just the price you pay with fried food, but they were both a little soggy when we made it home. The chefs salad was good, lots of toppings and everything seemed really fresh. Would order this again. Pizzas: we weren't blown away. All three of the pizzas needed some additional crisp.. in the future, I think we would request well done. Toppings weren't super plentiful. Overall, flavor was decent and I liked the sauce. Like mentioned above, it was decent and can definitely be added to the list for takeout nights!
Was near va beach area and needed a pizza place for his birthday. Saw the reviews and though I'd give it a try. We ordered a 14" cheese and XL deluxe. Kids loved the cheese but the deluxe was delicious. Toppings were delicious and sauce was excellent. I wish the onions were grilled but my fiancé likes the fresh cut onions. I didn't get a picture but the cheesy garlic knots were a hit as well!
LOVE Ray's! What a gem of a find in Virginia Beach! This New-York-style, hand-tossed pizza joint makes their dough fresh daily, and you can really taste it! We got their lunch special, which came with a drink; I had the Vegetarian (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, and tomatoes), while the hubs had the Cheese - the crust was thin, crisp, and yummy, and the toppings and the cheese were super plentiful! These slices came out piping hot, and I am just drooling, thinking about their deliciousness! Besides pizza, they also have various appetizers, salads, pasta and entrees, calzones, stromboli, cold and hot subs, and daily lunch specials. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of seats to dine-in. Can't wait to go back! +tasty NY-style pizza! +dough made fresh daily! +daily lunch specials! +friendly staff! +plenty of parking in the strip plaza lot
Ambiance: Ray's has the feel of a mom and pop pizza joint. The ambiance was a bit cold and boring though. The coolest part of the decor are the novelty New York City License Plates sitting above the service counter. They could really pep the joint up with some New York Sports Jumbo Fat Head Wall Art and even New York City wallpaper would be really cool. Anyway the ambience was 1.75 Stars Service: Is not on the high priority list. Cordial enough, but not warm or welcoming. More of the "what can I get ya" vibe. Thats cool In New York but this is VA. No one followed up to see if I liked the food or see if I wanted a refill. Had to go up with my cup and lid to ask for the refill. Brought my food to the table but no smile or happy greeting. No one came to clear my plate after I was done. So Service was the bare minimum. It gets 1Star Food: The Pizza ordered Slice was traditional New York Style. Good crispy undercarriage and back crust was to crunchy due to the need reheat. I'm ok with that as all New York lunch slices are like that. I'm sure the fresh cooked full pies have amazing crusts. The meat toppings were the usual vendor supplied Roma Branded: Pepperoni, Sausage, Ground Beef, the Mushrooms appeared to be fresh sliced. The sauce basic red pizza sauce may or may not be from a can and dressed up. Cheese was melting and had great pull. But the slices needed a little more heating. I ate both slices though. It was standard quick stop pizza. I would order take out full pie from here but probably won't dine in again. All in all Food gets 1.25 Stars Total Score: 3 Stars
Stopped in to pick up pizza to go. First time here. We are visiting our Sailor. We ordered a large pepperoni & cheese. The place was really cool and has a lot of NY memorabilia. Our order didn't take long. Pizza was still hot and fresh by the time we made it back to our room. The crust is not too thick or thin. It's the perfect thickness for NY style pizza. Perfect mixture of crisp & chewy crust. We will definitely be back!
We dropped by Rays Ny Pizza for a quick dinner. Its located off Newtown Rd in a strip mall close to the Blvd. Our order was to go.I will admit i had to call a few times to get through. So they may get alot of phone orders. The food was ready when we got there... 20 minutes or less. Great!! We ordered cheese steak subs with fries and it comes with a free soda. It was a reasonable price. I requested they add mozzarella cheese and put the lettuce and tomatoes on the side so my sandwich wouldn't get soggy. The lady on the phone was nice and she said my request would be fine. Customer service was cool with me. The sub was pretty good. It was flavorful and filling.... I must admit it was nap time right after i ate it... Lol. So thats a plus!! I will be returning to try the pizza at some point or maybe another sub. But if your looking for a decent cheese steak this place will do. I give them 4 stars.
Some of the best pizza I've ever had in Virginia. Used to get the lunch special once a week, but no longer work in the area so I get a whole pizza. So delicious and the leftovers are just as good! They offer a dining/waiting area but you won't get a waiter or waitress. I usually do to-go and would recommend ordering ahead because they get pretty busy and can have a long wait time. It's definitely worth the wait! Always fresh, perfect amount of cheese, sauce and crust. They never disappoint
This place never disappoints! Today I decided to try new items. I ordered shrimp Alfredo and a sausage/pepperoni calzone. The pasta dinner comes with garlic bread and a side salad that had mushrooms red onion tomato bell pepper and mozzarella cheese. Pasta has plenty of sauce and was enough to feed at least 2-3 people. The calzone is full of cheese and plenty of meat. Came with a side of marinara. Ray's continues to be one of my favorites. A must try!

Decided to switch it up to having a chicken and broccoli slice. Nothing short of amazing. My new favorite slice. The chicken is well-seasoned and the broccoli had the perfect crunch read more
I enjoyed my slice of pepperoni pizza and garlic Parmesan wings. I just needed a slice of pizza and I felt I was in NY with the photos in the restaurant. The slice of pizza was not expensive. The service was quick and the music was nice. The pizza and wings were good. read more

To start, it wasn't burnt and everyone liked it. The wings were good. We all agreed that this is a step up from Gino's by Maurizio. read more

Ray's is our go to local pizza delivery. It started out as not having a lot of options and thinking Ray's was pretty good. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but we basically have a full blown addiction now and look forward to the weekend nights with no plans so we can order Ray's (affectionately always referred to as "Ray's Famous New York Pizza in our house). It's fairly standard of what you would expect out of New York pizza, albeit maybe with a little more cheese... and I think that's what makes it so good. We've also discovered that it is somehow even better when reheated the next day in the oven or toaster oven. Breakfast pizza IS a thing around here. We have tried a few of the sides, and while they've all been pretty good, the cheesy garlic bread is by far our fave. So. Much. Garlic. Ray's is also perfect if you're trying to feed a large group. Overall pizzas are pretty inexpensive for a local shop, and they have a 24" Giant option. I know this because my husband once accidentally ordered this, resulting in pizza for most meals for the week. It wasn't the worst thing. I swear no one is paying us to write this review. We just genuinely love Ray's New York Pizza. read more
Shout out to good pizza. My Wife lived in NYC for ten years. I've been there many times. If this place was up there, would I still go? Yes, I would. The pizza is your typical thin crust New York style pizza. Full of flavor, lots of taste in the dough, and what I like in particular is the dough is just perfectly crisp but not burnt, if that makes sense. The pizza slices are large so that is important when you are doing the trademark one handed pizza fold to take that first bite. Since this is the time of Covid, they have great safety protocols, and you can only order to take out which is fine by me. The service is excellent. They are all super nice in there and the one thing I noticed right away is they are all working real hard back there making that pizza! Well done. I'm a regular. read more

Some friends and I ordered from Ray's while having a get together pre-COVID 19 and it's just taken me a while to catch up on my reviews. I was skeptical when my friend said it was "real" NY style pizza because that seems to be a schtick around here that never quite pans out to be true. We placed our order and then drove over to pick it up. It's located in a strip mall and the interior is fairly unassuming. Looks like it hasn't been updated in years. The staff was friendly though, and you could see them making your pizza from scratch. The pizza ended up being HUGE, so in that sense, yes on the NY style. In terms of crust, sauce, and overall taste, it's definitely one of the better ones I've had on the peninsula, but I still wouldn't call it *true* NY style. It was tasty though so I can't complain. Try it out -- maybe it's just what you're looking for. read more

Almost 4 years later, & I'm back. WOW, time flies!! It was cold outside, I didn't feel like cooking dinner, and had a sudden major pang for HOT pizza. We were in the area and saw on Yelp that Ray's has a 14" Special for $10.99. Let's do this. Restaurant was empty & my daughter was skeptical. I told her it gets PACKED during lunch. There were several specials & we chose the $10.99 two topping just to try. We didn't want to go overboard in case we didn't like it. We sat in front of the kitchen window and loved how we could watch the makings of our pie! The waitress was attentive, accommodating, and brought us plates, cheese, drinks, etc. After talking and observing the establishment, our pizza arrived HOT out of the oven. We were so excited!! A hot meal I actually didn't cook! Our first bite was love. Crisp on the bottom, cheesy, flavorful crust, and just delicious all the way thorough. A lot more textures and depth than other local NY Style pizza establishments. Definitely fresh vegetables or shall I say, fungi!? Oh, can't forget ricotta! Gotta have that premium topping!! Def check this spot out. Ray's has been our go to for the past several months now. Flavor & service have been consistent. read more

This place was the closest to our hotel, we came around 9pm and ordered a large pepperoni pizza with some wings for $16.99. Pizza came out nice and hot where the cheese was all gooey and the crust was crunchy and chewy. The wings were crunchy!! i love crispy wings, so if you are looking forward to some wet wings, these are not it. We had the mild flavored one, it does have the buffalo tang to it but no spice!! I wanted to try the garlic knots as it has high reviews, maybe next time when I'm in the area!! Overall I would come back!! read more
Ok ya'll, this play is EXACTLY what iv been looking for to replicate the NY pizza taste. Right when you walk in they have the vintage looking menu, to the pizza in the silver slabs on display. Its just the simplest of decor. The pizza though, the thin, greasy, floppy.....ness. That is what I have been missing. Everything was great and they also sell by the slices(decent price). The toppings were a plenty and like I said, this is as close to you can get for that NY style pizza which lots of places around here claim. read more

I don't know where to begin but YOU MUST GO HERE! Extremely affordable and packed with delicious flavors! This meal was $12 regular sausage calzone with fries and fed my husband and I with leftovers for later. We've had the pizza and wings and single pizza slices. 10/10! Also military friendly with discount. We still need to try the rest of the menu which I'm 100% we will not be disappointed! 1000000/10 read more

Another great pizza find today and my fellow Yelpers really nailed it. The location of the place is on the Norfolk/Virginia Beach line, but is at the Beach. The restaurant can be an issue to locate if you are unsure where to look. So Ray's can be found in the AutoZone parking lot on the East side of the road almost on the corner of Newtown Rd. and Virginia Beach Blvd. Parking was interesting since they never removed the old line and put in new one's in another location... you will see what I mean. The lot was clean and the front walk was tidy. I went into Ray's late afternoon for take out, but did not put my order in before not knowing the menu. The dining room is squared off, has a checkered board floor, green walls and a whole lot of NY pics etc. There is room for 50 some guest at tables, no booths. I guess the decor works for the place, but I hope they did not pay a decorator. The kitchen is wide open in the back and you can see all the action. I really liked the look of the cooking/prep area. For those familiar with NY style pizza joints you will feel comfortable. A nice young man assisted me with my order. I decided on a peperoni and sausage with a side order of mild wings. I asked about the different wings which come in mild, medium, hot and bbq. I elected to get the mild due to the whimp factor for spicy foods. Prices were most certainly reasonable for what you get. While waiting I checked out the restroom which I found clean. Around 15 minutes, or so later order up and I was ready to head home with the family and watch some football. The pizza and wings were still hot when I arrived home around 15 minutes later. The pie smelled great. The wings smelled hot as in spicy, so we will see. A bottle wine was opened to enjoy with the meal. The pizza was tasty with a lot of great tasty meat. It was also a bit of a grease bath in a really good way. The wings according to my son was the best thing about the meal. The wings had tons dripping sauce, lots of meat and scrumptious. This was a real find because I thought I recalled this place on Joe D's. pizza list. But it ended up that I was mistaken and lucky to be in the neighborhood passing it by. Any way the reviews from others are very solid and I would definitely recommend hitting Ray's up. read more
