Excellent pizza, and I was grateful they were open on Thanksgiving night. A New York staple right here in Scottsdale.

Their food is decent but they are the rudest people. Every time I have dealt with them they have the biggest attitude and act like you are annoying them whenever you ask them anything. Today I called to ask a simple question because I have an allergy, the guy that answered was extremely frustrated, yelled at me and then hung up. I'm so grateful I have found another place that is better then theirs so I do not have to deal with their horrible customer service anymore! I do not recommend going here. Their food is not worth their customer service. read more

Ray's Pizza is a little restaurant where you seat yourself and order at the counter. The man who I assume must be Ray speaks with a heavy Italian accent and is a little feisty. If you aren't listening when he calls out your pizza order, he just may give it to someone else and make you wait while another order is cooked up for you. Kinda funny. But the pizza is worth the wait. It's delicious. You can order by the slice and they're huge. A slice of cheese pizza is only $2 and their specialty slices are a little more. You can also buy whole pizzas, pasta and cannolis. I will definitely be back. read more

Ray's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

There won't be any issues with me comparing Ray's to NY places since I'm a Texas girl through and through. But don't think being a country bumpkin disqualifies me from knowing good pizza when it's crammed into my talkhole. It was surprising at first how easy it can be to find a droolworthy pie here in Arizona, and in some ways we are spoiled for choice from a few great places. Ray's stands out in a few ways. Before I even mention the pizza, I'll show some love for the simple online ordering rig. Call it anti-social if you want, but there's just something to being able to order without having to shout down the phone to each other. Pickup was a breeze, parking was abundant and I was in and out in no time flat. I braved the tortuous drive home with that box of deliciousness filling my car with some of the best smells... And it was worth every centimeter of that drive. I ordered the Sicilian thick crust with plain cheese. The dough was like a heavenly little pillow wrapped in a snug blanket of flavorful sauce and cheese. Oh so.much.cheese... Ahh, a pizza maker after my own heart. Needless to say, I will be returning. And if I can tear myself away from that temptress that is the Sicilian thick crust, I'd love to try more of their menu! read more

I love this place reminds me of NYC ! Very authentic NYC pizza. Sicilian and white pizza are amazing. read more

Ray's Pizza - Anchovies on traditional NYC white pizza - Pizza Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

As close to NYC pizza as you can get. My fav is the tomato pesto. It was so delicious. Now I know why pizza is the complete food. Ray your making Scottsdale a sister city to the Big Apple. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain read more

The restaurant is fantastic. It's New York/New Jersey pizza done right in Arizona. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the proprietor is downright rude. If the food wasn't delicious, I wouldn't return. read more

It took me a while but I have been back to Ray's quite a few times since my first review. The pizza is great! By the slice is surprisingly good, every time I've had one it tastes as if it was lifted right from a pie fresh out of the oven. I don't know if the turnover is that good or if they have some slice saving secret but I've had them at different times of the day and with different toppings and I've never been disappointed. Fresh tasting cheese, good sauce and a chewy thicker crust that has a crisp on the outside. Oh the slices are gigantic too. We get the Sicilian slices when they're available, we chop them up into small squares for a nice snack or save them since they reheat really well (and freeze well too). The full Sicilian pie is even more delicious. read more

I tried Ray's Pizza for the first time yesterday. The dining room was very spacious and clean. The pizza was tasty--- a little bit old, but I was there at 2:30 or so, so not a typical lunch or dinner time frame. All of the staff was friendly and professional except for the woman that rung us up. She was very unhappy looking and was wearing sweats. That was a little weird. I'll definitely give them another try though. read more

I ordered some food online, recieved an order confirmation via email. When my husband went to pick it up they hadn't received the order. So he placed the order again. Instead of giving us a discount for their mistake, they offered my husband a free drink. He chose the green tea. He took a sip and immediately spit the tea out because it tasted like mold. Im sure the spout for the tea isnt being cleaned properly which is causing the tea to taste bad. The food itself wasnt good. There was too much cheese that the toppings were falling off. There were too many jalapenos. And the crust was burned...it ruined the flavor. This is the first and last time we will order from this place. read more

I am a pizza purist, and admittedly, a total New York style pizza snob. Finding the right combination of flavor, crust, and format has been an ongoing struggle since leaving the east coast several years ago. I've lived in the south, the midwest, and now the southwest. Finding good NY style pizza has proven challenging time and again. Rustic style pizza seems a little easier, and while delicious, nothing beats a good slice of a perfect New York pie. Yesterday we wandered into Ray's Pizza for the first time. It's a very casual atmosphere and I appreciated that they had a few beers (and some mediocre wine) to quench our thirst given how casual the atmosphere was. The pizza was good. Not excellent, but good. The flavor of the pie was spot on though. In fact, I'd rate the flavor of the sauce and cheese as first-rate. The cheese was clearly good quality and the ingredients fresh. The crust was a little too thick and puffy. I'm told you can ask for it thinner but I'm always interested to see how a pizza place throws their dough without me asking for -- and typically never receiving -- a specific thickness or thinness. So while Ray's didn't exactly meet my NY style pizza hankering, it came damn close. And in the epic struggle for the perfect pie this far from home, I'd take Ray's and be happy about it. Not to mention that the service was awesome and about the friendliest staff I've ever experienced. read more

I think Ray's offers the best pizza in N Scottsdale. It's still not the perfect, floppy, gooey New York style pizza, but close as you're going to get. I do think they are a bit pricey for what they offer, but it's never been bad. The atmosphere is not fancy, just a super casual, order at the register pizza joint. My favorite is their monster with all the toppings, substituting Jalapeno's for the green peppers to give it a bit of kick. read more

Ordered a pepperoni n wings for pickup. When I got home realized they gave me the wrong order. Called the restaurant and explained the situation and the owner yelled at me like a psycho, no, no this is your fault. You ordered sausage and then hung up the phone. I called back and asked him to make it right, just make a pepperoni and I'll pick it up. No He screams at me, screams. I'm calmly talking and he is screaming and then tells me he doesn't give a sh*t if I give him a bad review. "you think that bothers me? You think I lose business? Go somewhere else". The "man" who answered the phone at 6:20pm on 4 of July has zero business working with people Or even being apart of general society. he seriously was a gross representation of a human being and no I won't ever be ordering from Rays ever again. read more

Ray's pizza is amazing! Great service and even better pizza. They treat their customers with the upmost respect. Of course the white pizza is my favorite part about this place and the cheesecake too. A slice of heaven!!! read more

Rays is near my office and we frequent the restaurant once a month or so for the past several years. The pizza is really really good most of the time. I always suggest Rays when employees or co workers want pizza and everyone is satisfied. Rays is probably about as good as pizza gets in north Scottsdale. Personally I dont get the slices, I order a pizza, so the negative comments about tired slices int he window may be true, it just doesnt apply to my experience. read more

This is what Pizza should taste like! Huge Slices of piping hot flavorful pizza! Also they have Arizona tea on the fountain, Nice!

I'm sorry, but my co- Yelpers who give this place 5Stars must have weird pizza place standards. I'm especially surprised by New Yorkers who even consider this place ok. Their bad attitude would be acceptable if the product backed it up. Pizza falls apart. Often slices have been out for hours. Way overpriced. 1 slice and can of soda $6.14. Too bad it was a different price a few days earlier. Feels like it's covered in a layer of dirt and I want to shower after being there. read more

We were not impressed by the pizza (lacked flavor) or the service at this restaurant. The staff did not have masks or gloves. There was Pepsi signage in the restaurant and so I ordered a soda. When I got to the soda fountain it offered RC cola, not Pepsi. :( As we ate another couple seated at a table in the nearly empty restaurant left. I watched to see how the staff would clean it and see if it would be disinfected. However, it had not been cleaned off at all by the time we left. The half eaten food, napkins, etc were still sitting there while the owner sat down and watched TV. I would not go here again due to food quality and low confidence on cleanliness in the time of COVID-19. read more

When I lived in Scottsdale, I would eat Ray's Pizza after Wado almost every Tues/Thurs at 8pm, the employees are great people, and collaborate very well. The pizza is always warm, delicious, and most importantly, safe. There's a reason the pizza is pricey people! It's pricey because they buy high quality ingredients to make sure you don't wreck your toilets! I live in Tempe now, it's about a 15 minute drive to Ray's, but me and my buds still make the trip, and are more than satisfied every time. The best part of the restaurant is the atmosphere, it's inviting, well lit, clean, entertaining (there are 3 HD televisions in the place), and family friendly. To all the people comparing the place to New York and Jersey, you do realize this place is in SCOTTSDALE, of course it's incomparable! If you're ever in the area, stop by and grab a slice, you won't regret it. read more

This pizza place is always delicious for a quick slice and a cold brew. I love this place!!

Reminds me of Yonkers every time I walk in here... real New York pizza stay away from chicken parmigiana tho...its frozen other than that really good NY pizza shop read more

Great crust! Nice sauce! A very solid pizza! Neapolitan gold medallion was spot on. My new go to in Phoenix.

Quick and tasty. That about sums up this place. You go up to the counter, point out what you want, pay at the register, and wait about five minutes for your slices to get warmed up. Pay attention or someone will yank your slices at lunch madness. Also, there's no table service or hand holding here - real New York style. Some decent sandwiches as well, but the pizza slices are the main reason to stop by. Ask for the daily menu on slices and don't be afraid to request a knife and fork, we are in Scottsdale, not New York! read more

Pizza is delicious! The pizza has a good little crunch to it and is still soft at the same time! We got a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza...I used to work as a pizza maker and I approve of the presentation, the taste, the ingredients that are used, it's all fresh and made with care! They have organic FRESH BREWED green tea that you can refill and enjoy! We're definitely coming back here! And the kids loved the place and pizza!!!!! read more

Pizza here is just amazing! I'd drive from anywhere to eat here! It doesn't get any better than their Sicilian pizz!

Got a pizza and wings for get together. I went in and picked it up. I wasn't prepared for how quick the transaction went. I told him told him what I wanted and he gave me a number and said it'll be ready in 20 minutes. Boom done. I showed up in 20 minutes and the pizza just out of the oven the wings just came out of Where are the wings come from and I was on my way. Price was good too. read more

If so could give this a 0 star rating, I would. I placed a pickup order on the phone. The man I spoke with was extremely rude and condescending. I kept asking for the name of one of their pizza by the slices, and he refused to answer my questions. By the time my mother got to the restaurant to pickup the food, our order was completely wrong... as if it were done on purpose. He refused to fix the order & we had to pay an additional $20 for 3 slices & spaghetti that we did not order, nor wanted. When I called back to complain that this was the wrong order, the man on the phone was somehow even more rude & implied that we took the wrong order from over the counter behind the register, which is not even almost what happened. Avoid this restaurant and extremely insulting man at all costs!!!! read more

The location on Hayden was not doing very much to observe Covid precautions. The cashier's mask covered his mouth only. There were three people behind the counter. The one that was actually handling the food and putting it into the oven had his mask down around his chin. I said to the cashier that the other guy's mask must have slipped. He asked him to pull it up. The man just looked at me; so I asked him if he would pull up his mask before handling my food. He did. But then, the owner berated me. He yelled at me that I should tell my president to put on a mask. I was surprised and looked at him and said something like "that's a whole other story." Then he repeated, "I'll bet you wouldn't tell the president to put on his mask, but you come in here and tell us little guys!" I left without making a purchase and won't ever return. read more

Place has been on a slide last few years. Loved the food when they first opened. As a NY transplant I was happy to have Ray's nearby. Disappointing crust had a cardboard texture. So little sauce that the pizza was dry. Cheese not fully melted. The crust ends were skinny and poorly formed. Slightly better than frozen supermarket pizza. read more

Average quality pizza when you want something other than fast food pizza like Dominos or Pizza hut. Its also cheaper than NYPD pizza. Decent value, good pizza overall, although their crust is a bit bland. read more

You can get pizza by the slice, and they are HUGE!!! Great specialty ones with spinach -- my favorite. It is quick and easy which works for the FLW and 101 area when you need to get back to work. The only drawback is that they have pepsi products....yuck!!!! read more

Short and sweet, nothing fancy. Ray's is simply one of the best little pizzerias in the valley to grab a slice of New York style pie. Great for lunch, very casual. read more

Boy, I wouldn't suggest this place. First, it was warm inside, AC not working right. Second, the beer wasn't ice cold. Third, the dough on the pizza wasn't raised right at all...it was like eating wet cardboard that's baked on the bottom. This is the heaviest pizza I've ever eaten. Then the cheese was almost tasteless and the green pepper were clearly not fresh at all...they even had a cucumber taste to them. And finally, it turned my stomach and I had issues if you know what I mean. Never again. Sorry Ray! read more

I am from Brooklyn, and Went there for dinner one day and usually, the food, & the Pizza is ok, not like NYC-and this recent visit the owner very rude, especially when I asked for a special request. It was like asking for a million dollars, they said no and it's an inconvenience to the kitchen, but, not the ones paying their bills I guess, I was a little shocked, being from NYC I shouldn't be. In my business I go out of my way to accommodate my customers within reason. I don't need to eat there when people have horrible attitudes. I feel they are too big for there Britches. Gone to their heads. This is the honest truth. read more

They call this NY pizza???? They need to have their head checked. The furthest thing from NY pizza is more like it. Tried to pick up a cheese pizza... Yep, a plain cheese pizza. When carrying the pizza outside it felt like it weighed 6 pounds - it was undercooked and the cheese was out of control... When I went back in to return it, the manager couldn't understand what was wrong... Never again! read more

I ate here once a long time okay and it was just okay. I went today as a friend suggested we meet there but I have to say the pizza was actually pretty good. We ordered 1/2 cheese and I had 1/2 pepperoni. I'm not one that cares for sliced sausage so I went with the pepperoni. I have to say it was a lot better than papa Murphy's and bjs on 56th that I have recently tried. I think next time ill get it but bring it home. Hope they will slice it in squares when I ask ! I will suggest thou if you have the time to order it freshly made read more

Great pizza! I've never had their numerous other Italian dishes, but it all looks amazing!

When I got the invite from a friend that we will call 'Little Hulk' to go grab a slice of pizza at his all time favorite spot, I was in. Along with his lovely wife Lindsay (a New Yorker, I might add), our friend Monty, and my hubby Shane, we all headed to a place called 'Ray's Pizza' for our Saturday night grub. Located in a 'strip mall' (let's face it, everything around here is in a strip mall) I realized that this is definitely not the local 'Saturday night hang out' since there were only three tables occupied. I became a little skeptical, I must admit. When Monty arrived (fashionably late) we all got up from our comfy booth (yes.. it was comfy) and went to order our slice (slices for me) of pizza . After looking at the menu that hangs in the wall, I was surprised to see that they also offered a selection of drinks- wine, pop (soda..depending where you're from) and beer. I ordered a Moretti beer (an Italian lager) that came with a frosty mug glass.. didn't even have to ask for it! Lindsay ordered a cheese pizza from the different display of slices that they offered, and asked to have fresh tomatoes and jalapenos added to it..my kind of girl. I had a thick crust (squared shape) cheese slice (middle slice, I might add), and a cheese, garlic and spinach slice. Both slices were good, but after one bite of my cheese pizza..I was so happy! The cheese was gooey and tasty, the sauce was mild but packed with flavor, and the crust was buttery with a little crunch. We all enjoyed our pizza! Skeptical? after a few bites, I was a fan. read more

LOVE THE FOOD THE STAFF IS AMAZING Baldene showed over the top great customer service Highly reccomend this is the pizza place i go to whenever im in scottsdale read more

Called this location on a Friday night at 11:10pm (they are open til 11:30pm) to order one pizza for us to pick up (we were 5 mins away). The extremely rude man who answered the phone when we went to order stated "well we close in like 10 minutes..." So my fiancé asked "so does this mean we can't order anything?" And the man was so rude. If you don't wanna make pizza and be open until 11:30, I think it would be a great idea to close earlier. If you're open, maybe you should make some freaking pizza!! Ugh!! Also, whoever the heck answered the phone needs to learn about a little thing called customer service. read more
