We thought we'd try Ray's Pizza as they were one of the closest places to where we're staying and the pictures posted of their NY thin crust pizza looked amazing. And the pizza WAS amazing! Toppings were plentiful and big (particularly notable was the ham, mushrooms, and anchovies... mmmmm!) Then there was the wings. Another win! "Mild" was more of a medium Buffalo which was perfect for me but just a little hot for the DW. The price while reasonable seemed a little bit higher than a nearby competitor, but the meal was better. We WILL be back and will be looking forward to trying some other items that we fully expect will be just as good. read more

Very cool local spot! Get the slice of pepperoni it's a great deal! I would definitely come back

I stopped by to grab a pizza to go for lunch. I ordered a large thin crust pizza to go. It was hard to resist trying the wings but I was able to control my urge. I ordered a large cheese pizza, thin crust. The pizza was ok, lots of cheese and a large size for sure. The place itself is rather drab and showing it's age and not real clean. The person who took my order was very pleasant and I didn't have to wait very long for my order to be ready. Comparing this pizza to a few others I have enjoyed this is good pizza but not great. I want to try their wings and maybe I can update my review. read more

Very kind fast service , we ordered the large pizza with 20 wings . It was delicious and authentic New York style. Love the bread/crust and those hot wings had a generous amount of sauce with perfect texture wings crispy! Definitely recommend will be going back to try other things on the menu. read more

Food was good just pretty pricey, probably won't go back because I can find just as good pizza for less else where. Make sure you figure out the prices before ordering because the photo of the menu on their google page is old read more

Been awhile since ordering here. Wanted a calzone and I was in the area and ordered my calzone and added wings out of habit. Calzone was excellent. the crust actually had flavor. Lots of filling! The wings were huge compared to a lot of places The restaurant may be dated, but it was spotless. You can see into the kitchen area and it looked just as spotless. The lady in the front was very polite and was tentative to the other patrons making sure everything was right. Goinf to make my visits more frequently! Highly recommend this particular Ray's. read more

So we liked Ray's - after a day trip up north, we NEEDED pizza - and none of that typical franchise fare - my daughters 'demanded' the good stuff! So we found Ray's via Yelp! and ordered drinks and a large pepperoni; staple stuff. You know, the pizza was okay. The cheese was a little over cooked and had become slightly platicized, and it was piping hot on the crust but less so in the middle which was a tad on the floppy / break apart side, but it worked. For me, there wasn't an abundance of flavor and my wife told me I should have checked-out the seasonings available. Maybe next time :) The price was okay; service was good, and speed of delivery was very good. The only downside was no Coca Cola, just Pepsi on deck. read more

The pizza here is no good it's soggy and not even cooked. This place is dirty and they don't know how to treat their customers. Will never go there again or eat at that location 19th ave and Deer valley. read more

Great pizza, friendly service and easy take out service makes this small pizza place a local staple. The antipasto salad is very good and their calzones and hoagies are also some family favorites. We've been coming for years and it is consistently delicious read more

Our go-to for pizza nights! The wings are always fantastic. We like to order the pizza well done!

They don't skimp on the toppings! I always get a mushroom, sausage and pepperoni pizza. I love this pizza, the sausage is so yummy. My boyfriend got the wings this time and said they were so good. I have went here for years and always love it when I come here. read more

Ray's Pizza - Highly recommend this place for some delicious pizza and wings with the family. - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm very picky when it comes to Pizza being from New York City. Fortunately, the slices here are spot on. Lots and lots of toppings and that crispy crust you get from back east. They also some really good salads especially their antipasto and dinners like the chicken Parmigiano. I guess the only thing I really don't get about this places whenever I order a pie it's a lot more chewy and doughy than the slices which were really crisp. Great place to stop in with the family for a quick dinner or one of their lunch specials. Really great family-owned restaurant that brings back some fond memories of the Big Apple read more

Delicious, hot, fresh and yummy. This pizza is the best I've had in AZ. The only downfall is the ranch tastes like store bought hidden valley ranch. Idk about you but part of it is the ranch and it needs to be homemade because it makes allllll the difference. So up your ranch game Ray, and I'll order more!! read more

We ordered pizza here for the first time. This was a slab of dry thin crust with hardly any sauce or cheese. It was so bland. Very disappointed. Cost for a medium pizza and small order of wings delivered was over $40. read more

Real NY style pizza! The pizza is good by the slice, but way better when ordering a whole pizza. This store is much better than the other locations by a lot. The hot subs are also good, but made on a whole loaf of bread, and very filling. Orders come out quick. Wish they delivered. read more

This used to be our favorite nearby pizza place, but the past few times something was off. One of the last times our submarine special tasted like old deli meat and we did not finish it and considered it a one-off bad night. A couple of times since the Sicilian Pizza was less than cooked, so we just toasted it in our toaster oven. Like no big deal, wish they would have cooked it longer but, whatever. Then we get to Tuesday night 3/7/2023 we ordered a Sicilian Pizza and wing, I am kind of thinking we were one of the last customers of the evening. When we got the food home as we were eating the wings, we noticed they were a bit chewy and after a couple more became concerned they were not cooked. Wednesday morning we were both doubled over puking and pooping uncontrollably. We have had the worst Food poisoning ever. Never going back. read more

If you're looking for a great pizza and wings, rays pizza is the place to go. They have a great selection of toppings and they also make lasagna some rigatoni and stuff like that, but the pizza is the Main event. It's thinner crust but not super super thin crispy crunch crust, it's chewy it's hot it's gooey it's delicious and it's my go to place when I want to have pizza in Phoenix Arizona read more

Amazing pizza place !!! If u don't want to wait order thru phone and pick up !! Highly recommend!!

This has become our favorite location because they're pizza and wings taste so good! Their pizza doesn't come out with a huge layer of grease and the crust is always done just right with a good flavor. I also have to compliment them for being so kind. The lady at the counter is very polite and always so nice. Thanks! read more

I ordered a pizza on Friday night and received a disgusting undone pizza. I waited to call the restaurant until Monday (debating to call) because I do not usually complain. But the pizza was so bad and was pricey. I called and spoke to the manager letting him know I do not usually do this and asked if there was something he could do? I offered to bring the pizza in as we still have it. He flat out said NO, he cannot do anything for a pizza we received on Friday. I understand the time frame is a consideration but to not even provide even a discount on our next order. I wont be ordering from Rays on Union Hills again. read more

I've been coming here close to 10 years now and it will always be my favorite. Love the family that runs the restaurant, they are and have always been so kind! read more

Some of the fellas (and one lady) from work tapped me on the shoulder and said that they were headed here for lunch. I drove over there to meet them and to try out some pizza. They have a great deal M-F for lunch.... 2 slices cheese and a drink for only $4.10! Can't beat that! The pizza was good...crisped up in the oven nice. The cheese looked a tad greasy but it was not...no puddles to be found anywhere. The sauce was just alright but the crust made up for it. Really good crust! The slices were really big too! Score! Service was to the point, not friendly, not rude but you could tell that they were appreciative for your business. It's only a mile or so from work so I'm sure I will be back for that killer lunch special. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food too! read more

Ray's Pizza - 2 slices of cheese which is a lunch special M-F 11:30-3:00. Comes with a fountain drink and is only $4.55 after tax! Score! - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

In the midst of businesses going under from the COVID I decided as a healthcare worker working the front lines. I'll do my part and order from a local pizza place. I order a GLUTEN FREE pizza and ask if it's possible to be the buffalo pizza ... she said yes and ended up charging me DOUBLE the price of a basic cheese pizza. I let it go and accept my 22$ small pizza. My pizza is delivered and when I open it I see it is made with breaded chicken .... I call and ask if this is gluten free ... she said " no you didn't say you needed it to be gluten free " ..... no one enjoys gluten free crust.... why would I order gluten free crust unless I have to!? Clearly they aren't well trained in this area of allergies. I ask if I can get my pizza remade .... nope. Can I get a refund ? Nope. Thank god for door dash cause they were WAY more helpful than these incompetent workers. Moral of the story. I'm now avoiding rays pizza at all costs. There's way more options for pizza in this small area so if they want business they better step up their customer service. read more

This family joint is throwing down real New York slices, with the right kind of crust. The sandwiches are awesome, too. But the people always make it worth writing about, and Ray's has those kind of people. read more

So I was going in on a Friday night to buy a few pizzas for my family tonight and I figured that Rays would be great! Embarrassingly enough, I drank way too much water today and really needed to use the restroom when I got there. I started heading to the restroom before placing my orders because I was about to burst. The last behind the counter stopped me and asked, "Excuse me, where are you going?" I stated I was going to the restroom really quickly and would that be alright. She told me that I needed to ask to use their restroom and that would be the proper way of doing things. Instead of feeling unwelcome, I thanked her and walked out. I really have to say, thank you for making me feel unwelcome because I headed over to Time Square Pizza and it was delicious! Thanks Ray's! read more

I came in today and ordered a veggie calzone I messed up and forgot to tell them no olives so I decided I would pick them out bc it was my fault almost impossible it was like olives were the only thing in there half my plate was olives for the price there should of been a nice mix of veggies nope mainly olives and onion... and since when does a calzone have the marinara in the calzone I've always had it on the side and where is the ricotta... extremely disappointed this is not NY style at all ..will not be back!! read more

They had my husband wait 55 minutes for 5 slices of pizza. 3 cheese, 1 pepperoni, and 1 sausage. Really? Also said they could not put pepperoncinis on the pizza. Seriously? It'd be nice if the pizza actually tasted freshly cooked to order. Long wait, can't follow simple & obvious pizza topping requests AND has the cheap gross tasting ranch... yuck. No way. Will not be returning to this Rays. It's not the Ray's I've grown to know and love. This franchise should be shut down for the cut corners. It's ruining the Ray's brand. read more

My wife, our grandson Michael, our friend Kathy R. and I went here lunch a while ago and I forgot to submit a review so this is long overdue. I'm from Rhode Island-born and raised--and have had pizzas from authentic Italian mom and pop pizza joints so admittedly, I am hard to please when it comes to Italian food. This pizza is good: perfectly greasy, cheesy, chewy, gorgeous, flavorful and is always piping hot, very fresh, and the cheese and sauce are excellent quality. While Ray's isn't the best pizza I ever had it was to my likings. I do appreciate a good pizza. Some people may think "pizza is pizza," but you'd be wrong. It is hard to find a real good pizza in Arizona especially because I was raised back east and have had some great pizza. One of the more expensive pizza restaurants in town. In addition they don't have delivery. It's good pizza! But not mind-blowing. The crust is actually super fantastic. FOOD: It wasn't the best pizza I have ever had in Arizona but it's right up there in the mix. The pizza was a typical New York style pizza, nothing special although the pizza is always piping hot, very fresh, and the cheese and sauce are excellent quality. CONCLUSION: I didn't think it was anything special as far as taste / flavor goes. The ingredients of the pizza tasted fresh and I believe it was of high quality. Good pizza, but not as good as some. Their pizza is between OK and I'm-a-fan- RETURN FACTOR: 100%] ************************* What does my OVERALL rating mean?************************* 5 stars -Highly recommended. I would be willing to drive out of my way to this business. It is that good. This place represents their industry or cuisine very well! 4 stars - Highly Recommended. I would frequent this business. 3 stars - Not that good but not that bad. Just average. I wouldn't mind going again. 2 stars - I would not recommend this establishment to friends or family. 1 stars - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT patronize this business. I would RUN AWAY from this place and you should too! DON'T WAST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT read more

Front cashier taking orders was so pleasant at the end. The guy that's makes the pizza tried to help me at first and was fairly rude. He was wearing a New York blue hat. Not great customer service when this is my time coming to this location, especially making fun of me. I guess the good thing I can say is he greeted me right away. read more

We live around the corner and come here for pizza and beer couple times a month. this one is a little family owned one with the same people always working which is nice.

Placed an order for pickup over the phone with the lady at the front at 540PM New Year Eve night. I was told by the rude receptionist it would take twenty minutes . Which is fine. I arrived only for her to tell us we never placed an order at their location. If you're going to have people wait around, atleast be honest and have some sort of hospitality. I will take my money else where. I tried to call to file a complaint, no one is purposely answering the phone. Im not sure if they aren't answering because they are about to close in an hour and they don't want to take more orders or if they simply dont want the criticism. But For someone who has been coming to this location for years, im very dissatisfied. And will not be returning! read more
