    Anchovy and pineapple pizza - i promise it is good
    Nancy H.

    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!

    Large pizza

    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.

    Deluxe Pizza

    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!

    The Undercarriage

    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

    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

    Large Pepperoni & Cheese
    Christine B.

    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!

    Fries

    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.

    Spinach and feta pizza
    Vantrice P.

    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

    Side salad
    Arisha H.

    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!

    Our go to: sausage and pepperoni.

    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.

The sizes were recommended and they were huge and more than enough!! I love the build your own pasta so you literally pick your pasta, sauce, protein and veggies. It's like a family style and I would love to go with a group and we all share. They also have a happy hour. I will definitely be back. Now....my 92 year old mothers complaints. 1. It was too cold. We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

It was a beautiful evening. Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.
