This is the BEST Ray's to go to! They have shredded sausage which is amazing. It covers the pizza with every tasty bite. No one else does it like them! The staff is always nice, and to top it off, they have Pepsi products! read more

Ray's Pizza Cave Creek - Double cheese, double pepperoni, double sausage - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The guys at Ray's are super nice. Only one other couple eating here so service was fast and helpful. We ordered some cheese slices to go. They asked if we would mind a slight wait. They wanted to make up a new pie for us. Great! We had a seat and waited patiently. The boxed pie was ready to go quite quickly. One of the staff brought the box to our table and thanked us. Nice service! I reheated the pizza since it was cold. The slices were big in size. We thought the pizza was good and a bit on the salty side which no doubt is from the cheese. The crust was chewy. We will have to compare it with a New York slice next time we visit. In the meantime this slice fit the bill. Large outdoor parking lot with Cox WiFi for subscribers. read more

Grabbed the Washington Commanders getting 3.5 tonight, Not good... But I hit up Rays before Monday to Sunday football games,Lawrence performed his magic with the wings & Beer Keep and his Bro was doing Pizza Acrobatics with his style resulting in a absolute amazing New York performance in (thin crust) Pizza Making . The food more than anything helped me get through my disastrous Pick. Keep pushing out Fantastic Cooking Results Boys...... Michael NY Cave Creek read more

Consistently great pizza, always ready on time. It's our go to place for pizza in the area

Food 10/10 service 10/10 owners 10/10 - best pizza in AZ! Their wings are my favorite!

Finding decent pizza in Arizona can often seem to be a futile, often hopeless mission. Lou Malnati is decent for deep-dish Detroit-style pizza. If you're looking for true New York-style or Neapolitan pizza most people should give up hope for finding any here. Ray's put's up signs of New York in their shop, but that's a deception. Ray's pizzas are bland, mediocre, and boring. The crust is hard and stiff absolutely devoid of any flavor. Likely Ray's uses poor flour (i.e., cheap or the wrong flour). Sauce is tasteless. Cheese and other toppings have an odd, off-putting smell. These are hideous pizzas. As for the ambiance, the place is dirty and the seating upholstery is torn, worn, and ripped. Not even the minimal effort of duct-taping was made. Decor is bland and uninviting and uncomfortable. The New York sign is a joke--funny if everything else about this place wasn't so sad. Hard to comment about service, given that it seems all the business is take out. read more

Who said "there's no such thing as BAD pizza!" has never eaten at Ray's. Even the dough is horrible- like homemade bread dough with expired flour. Weird, canned tasting sauce, and WAYY too much (old?) cheese. SO foul, it is the very first time in my LIFE I did not take the rest home.. what a shame.... read more

Coming from New Jersey this was the best we have found out here. Great staff, clean place, affordable food and GREAT pizza.

We had a take out order of wings and pizza last night. The wings were great (I ordered extra crispy), the pizza was not. Do you guys cook the pizza then add toppings? There was no evidence that the toppings had been anything more than slightly warmed, yet the crust was rock hard. Did we get a bad one or are they always like that? We loved the look of your seating area and wanted to eat in next time but the pizza was terrible, so unless that was just a dud, we won't be back, I'm sorry to say. read more

We always have a great experience here. Real deal New York style pizza. The owners are fantastic and so nice! Smiles every time we walk in! Chill environment and a great spot to grab a bite! read more

Craving New York pizza, we were! What better place to go than Ray's pizza. Wanted to try their Sicilian monster pizza. It's so huge! Enough to feed about 4 people. It has thick crust and lots of toppings. The crust had nice crunch and chewiness to it, exactly what we were craving. Their regular round pizzas are delish as well. Thinner crust just as good with plenty of toppings without being too salty. Highly recommend. read more

Calzone and salad. Excellent as usual! And delivery was 15 minutes early. The consistent food quality always brings me back.

We really enjoy Ray's Pizza...this restaurant is our go to "gotta have pizza place." If you enjoy foldable NY style pies made by REAL New Yorkers....Rays is the place. You know you're in for a good pie when the pizza chef is wearing a Yankees championship pro model cap. Ohhhh...aaayyy!! Great food and staff here. Fresh toppings (green olives, YUM) always and that thin crust that melts in your mouth. Dine in or take out Rays is THE PLACE. We will be back. read more

Well, I wanted to like this order but it unfortunately fell short. I ordered a large pepperoni with mushrooms and jalapenos. Their was barely any mushrooms and the crust needs much more crunch and flavor. Its what you expect from a true New York style pizza. This doesn't live up to the style name. We also had a meatball sub with cheese and banana peppers. Barely any banana peppers, the cheese was half melted and tasted like cheap, store bought kroger brand type. The sauce lacked flavor and even though I specifically asked for sauce on the side, the sandwhich was completely drenched. The buns was therefore soggy and just destroyed the entire sandwich. I grew up in Boston so I know real food when I taste it. Unfortunately, this isn't it. read more

Visiting my family in AZ and craved for pizza. I haven't found a good comparable pizza like NY pizza where I live. I found Ray's Pizza on Yelp and decided to try them. I ordered 2 calzones and a large pepperoni pizza. They were so good! It brought back memories from the time I grew up in Brooklyn eating pizza at Luigi's. Come and try Ray's Pizza if you want a taste of NY pizza read more

Love to support local family owned businesses. The Beer is always cold, the garlic knots always fresh and busy on Friday in Summer. Plus Gianni is dialed in on the wings. #GoBlues read more

Ray's Pizza Cave Creek - Large Pepperoni and Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

You can judge a pizza place by its cheese pizza. We love their Extra cheese, cooked a little extra. Easily one of the best around. I gave them a try a few years ago and now we get it all the time. I've also had some pepperoni and other toppings which are also good, but the extra cheese pizza is epic. Great crust, flavorful sauce, nice salty cheese to tie it all together. It's a great pie!! read more

I don't know what is it about the pizza but it's so good. I hate when you lift piece of slice and it flaps down like a soggy sock, not this one. The dough is tasty and baked as it should be. read more

Ray's has the best New York style pizza in the area. My whole family is from New York, so we are picky with our pizza. They have great wings and subs, also. Ray's is always our go-to for takeout. read more

We ordered a Meatball Calzone and 2 slices of cheese pizza. The Calzone only had 2 meatballs in it, the bread was over cooked, and very crusty (Dry), the cheese slices were very thin and hardly any sauce or cheese on them. The food was not good at all. We were very disappointed! Just a waste of money. Plus we waited 20 minutes for the food. We will never return to Ray's. C. Schmidt Cave Creek, AZ. I called them when we got home, and the guy that answered was the one that took our order. He started yelling at me, saying I took to long to order, that I didn't know what I wanted, said you only spent $17.00, then he hung up on me. I called him back,he started yelling at me again, and I said can you please listen to me and understand what is going on here? He stopped talking, I told him, I am very ill, I had just had Chemo 2 days before and I have the beginning of Dementia, which makes me slow. I told him I was and am very sick, and maybe he should take his time and not rush people. I have issues talking right now, and being really sick does not help. I apologized for my slow order, but being sick, does not help. read more

I get that everyone wants to call themselves Ray's after the NY place but this Ray's does not remind me of any other Ray's pizza. You can order a slice but they don't have them prepared and sitting in the window. The slices I did get seem smaller than what I would get at other Ray's pizza places. read more

One of my favorite pizza places out here in north phx. The ppl and the pizza are by far the best in area!!!!

I've been in Cave Creek 2 years and once I had Rays pizza, it's one of the best pizzas.

Food not bad, however floors are filthy black. They need degreaser / Simple Green. Bathroom had no paper towel and was filthy. Urinal wrapped in plastic? Went into ladies room and it stunk like sewer. Now, if I see this, what will I see in the kitchen? Logged into Maricopa County Environmental website, and this establishment is not participating in the award program. Why? Raid insect killer in the walk in cooler. June 1, 2023 similar inspection: No paper towels available from dispenser at front handwashing sink. I'm just disappointed in the cleanliness of this place. read more

I've been ordering pizza's from here since 2006. Since then, my family has probably ordered over 700+ pizzas, but tonight will be our last. When I got to the counter, I asked for a beer, & was told I am closing. I said, " Can you just give me 10 minutes, I'll be done before closing." The owner then commented, "You are lucky I even made your pizza, I've been here for 2.5 hours for a lousy $17, no I'm closing early tonight." I commented, "You know I've been coming here for over 15 years, I may not be your biggest, but I'm certainly a good customer. The owner then commented, "You've been here maybe three times." I closed by saying, "That's absolutely not true, but I assure this is my last time. The owner is a very ungrateful person ..., don't spend a dime at any Ray's Pizzeria in the Valley!!! read more

I'm a pizza man, this is exactly what you hope for and more. Excellent service, amazing atmosphere, and the pizza will make your toes curl, very happy I have a pizzeria of this caliber so close to home. read more

A basic Ray's. Came in just for quick slices. Slices were fresh and hot. But the owner (I think) with his mask well below his nose, almost as a chin strap, was disappointing. If we hadn't been 10 days after our first shot, I would have turned around and walked out. Other customers came in, with no respect for distancing, sat down, took off their masks, and then proceeded to walk around for their slices and drinks, maskless. Too bad - a contribution to all this continuing to go on... read more

Not a pleasant experience... I like to find the positive in most anything, but trying to do that for this location of 'Famous Ray's Pizza' is going to be a challenge. We went in because Jared was craving a slice or two of pizza and we were headed north for the weekend. At other pizza joints around town, you can literally walk in and choose your slice from the counter and it is ready to go... not the case here. Jared ordered his slices and I ordered what I thought would be a grilled chicken salad. Side note - Jared questioned the girl taking our orders about what kind of meats and cheeses they use for their sandwiches and she had no idea. He wanted to hear 'Boar's Head,' but he got a clueless expression instead. Anyways, back to our order... Not only could he not choose his slice, but we waited a good 10 minutes for the slices and the salad... which would be ok if the food were good. Unfortunately, the pizza was really greasy and the salad came with fried chicken (not grilled as I thought) and not only fried, but fried with a huge piece of hair inside it... GROSS! Since I did say I try to find the positive, I will say that when we made the restaurant aware of the hair in the salad, they offered to replace it, give us a pizza, or give us our money back... I was surprised when Jared said "it's ok, just remember us next time we're back." I think he felt bad... needless to say, we will not be going back anytime soon - free pizza or not! read more

Incredibly delicious freaking food! When work sends me out this direction I get excited! I know I'm going to always swing by for the pizza specials. Great place to enjoy some yummy food! Friendly folks who greet you with a smile no matter what's happening. read more

Excellent pizza sausage, green bell peppers, onions, mushroom. Definitely going back to this place.

Best pizza in town. It's not even close. Everywhere else in cave creek charges you twice the price with 1/4 of the quality. Everyone there is super friendly as well. I'll never get another pizza north of the 101 read more

Real NY pizza and Italian dishes. Made right and very friendly service. They have cannoli also. Try the spaghetti and meatballs also. Good stuff. read more

I am very happy with a recent visit to this Ray's location. I was craving a meatball sub for dinner and decided to try Ray's. There are so many options in my area for pizza/pasta/subs and I'm glad I went to Rays. The girl at the counter was super nice and my food came out relatively quick. I ordered a meatball parm and a Coors Lite. My sub was hot and flavorful. The sauce, cheese, and roll were all on point. The meatballs themselves were nicely seasoned and had good texture. After finishing my sub, I decided to be a fatty and ordered a slice and another beer. They ran out of slices and had to make a fresh pie. No complaints on my end, I'm happy to wait a few minutes longer for a fresh slice. I will definitely be back in very soon. read more

I've been ordering here since they opened. It's a neighborhood gem! Excellent NY style pizza, if that's what you like. Period. I like extra sauce and well done and they always nail it. Waaaaaay better than Dominos, Pizza Hut and Barros. And Papa Johns, well....I'll be nice. I live pretty close to Ray's, so I don't mind picking up since they don't deliver. I assure you, it's worth the drive. read more

I ordered take-out and the food was ready on time. The lasagna was very yummy! Mm-mmm good! I would order it again! I can't wait to try the New York style pizza! read more

Wife and I decided to give this place a try the other day. As we walk down the sidewalk in front of the entrance of the store we see a man sitting there smoking a cigarette. Would rather not walk through a cloud of nasty cigarette smoke when entering a place to eat. As we were deciding what we wanted the cigarette smoking man comes in and starts tossing pizza dough with his bare hands. He did not wash his hands. We really could not believe he did not wash his hands. How gross!! This man has no clue. Multiple health code violations. Smoking in front of the entrance. Not washing your hands. I don't want your saliva or nasty tobacco smell on my pizza. If anyone wants a pizza with the toppings of tobacco and saliva Rays in Cave Creek is for you. We did not order anything and went to the business next door. read more

Ray's used to be our favorite place for pizza and wings, sadly not anymore! They now have changed dramatically so much so that the last order I placed, including extra cheese, barely had any cheese on it and it was very dry. The wings were tough and dry and not edible. They used to be great, not anymore! read more

Without a doubt the best Hot Wings in AZ. Have them with Extra Sauce and they are truly a Home Run or as for tonight a Slam Dunk. Goooo Suns. You really can't go wrong with any of the food here. Great Customer Service. Ronnie is a Rockstar read more
