1 slice of pepperoni
Marcella Z.

Ray's Pizza always hits the spot! The staff is friendly and the service is fast. I ordered the lunch combo with a slice of pizza and a salad. The slice is HUGE and frankly I didn't even finish the pizza slice. The pizza has a great crust which keeps me coming back time and time again.

Supreme pizza
Elizabeth L.

To start off, pizza is my favorite food in the whole world, and Ray's is the talk of our dental clinic at UTHSCA. They catered some pizza one night for a group, and the smell of it alone was enriching enough for us to want to come here. Came on a Tuesday night at 5:00PM with 24 people, and there was enough tables and chairs to hold us all. Small resturant, but still enough space for a big dinner with friends. Superrrrr casual inside, with a walk up check out. I love that this is pizza by the slice, allows everyone to order exactly what they want and not have to share with anyone either. Roughly $3-$5 per slice, and it's LARGE. Probably 2 normal slides in 1 of these. I split a medium between 3 people, and it was perfect. Only $14! The cheesecake on display looked beautiful and I wish I got one. I got Gelato instead, and wish I could dock half a star just for the price of this gelato. $5.40 for the tiniest scoop, but again i know ice cream/gelato anywhere is gonna run a higher price when you get it like this. Quick, easy place to stop in and eat!

I saw someone post a picture of their pizza on FB & had to try. First time here. Everything was good. The crust of the pizza os one of the best we have had. We tried the classic. It was good. Will definitely try another pizza next time. Loved the wings & ceasar. It is a step up from a hole in the wall. The staff was friendly. Overall good option for pizza & wings.

Staff is friendly, food is nothing to write home about.. I've seen many reviews about the workers being young and rude but I had a great experience. They were quick & friendly and I am just glad my experience was like that rather than some of these stories lol The mozzarella sticks were probably my favorite part. The meat lovers Stromboli was suuuuper greasy like I totally understand pepperoni and sausage have oil but underneath was like a pile of grease and it made my stomach a little uneasy. However, it was huge but the size doesn't really matter when you're not going to eat it anymore... The chicken parm was interesting. Not a cutlet but more like a chicken tender. We were wondering why all the oregano on top because it was a bit overkill -- My bf ate it but we had the same consensus that this sauce is what's lacking. It barely has any flavor unfortunately and it is in most of the dishes we tried.

Pizza was amazing. Place was a little empty, which seemed unsettling, and there was a lot of workers which made the place feel empty. Pizza was kind of expensive and wouldn't recommend the gelato but it's a great experience if you want to eat some good pizza..

Mango habanero boneless wings with Parmesan fries
Angela E.

My fav pizza place! This place has the best pizza for the best prices. (If I want expensive I'm going to Dough's) NY style, thin but very large slices and tastes delicious. Chicken bites are also great. The sandwiches are good (homemade bread ) and fries are great too Great seating area, can always bring a ton of friends. Food ALWAYS tastes great and service is good. Side note- these sell cheesecake slices for $6/ piece and they are delicious. Turtle is my fav. Not sure who bakes them and brings them in to sell in their cases but they are really good.

Came by to celebrate my moms birthday and wasn't disappointed. We ordered several salads, three pizzas, lasagna, and some Spaghetti . Everything was perfect! Pizza was tasty and hot and the salads were so crisp and fresh! I can't wait to go back!

 a slice of pizza and a salad
Mari A.

Hands down the BEST NY style pizza place. I order my slice well done all the time, I love that charred crust. I'm glad they offer the combo daily. Aside from the delicious food, there's the mediocre service. It reminds me of the same service and attitude you would get in NYC. I'm still coming back! Come check them out for yourself!

 two slices of pizza
Victoria P.

I am VERY happy I ignored the yelp reviews and paid attention to the photos. When I first saw the photos I got my hopes up and guess what, Ray's did not disappoint! Is this pizza really 5/5 stars? No...it's more 4/5, BUT... considering there are slim pickings in San Antonio for AUTHENTIC NY Style pizza I just had to give Ray's a bump in rating for standing out. I gotta give credit where credit is due. Most of the bad reviews were geared toward the customer service. I didn't have a bad experience here. Just feed me. Fun fact: I learned that people in Texas are not used to the flavor of NY Style pizza dough. NY Style pizza dough is fermented in the fridge for 1-3 days. That process is what gives the pizza dough that yeasty/doughy flavor. It's a very distinct flavor and I've learned that some people don't like that flavor (sacrilegious lol). Hence lovers of Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's exist. Anyway...Ray's NAILED the dough flavor. It was there. The texture was spot on as well. I prefer a very tomatoey pizza sauce. The sauce here was good, not amazing, but for sure solid. Ray's is the most authentic NY Style Pizza I have had since living in SA. I've tried Yaghi's, Goomba's, 46th street, and Sapore's. I'd order a pie again from Ray's because it brought me back to the corner store pizzerias I grew up with. Very nostalgic. Very authentic. You want something close to NY Style pizza without being in NY? Head to Ray's. I still have a few more pizzeria's to try out, but right now Ray's takes the cake! Enjoy!

Calzone looks like a cookie.
Christine P.

I am so deeply disappointed in the food i received to night. I have been coming here for years and cannot believe the food this evening. Calzone is hard and thin. Wings were so greasy. The calzone was old and chewy. What happened!

Boneless 10 Piece Single Order Wings
Peyton G.

Every single dish I have had from here was a banger! Most recently I had the boneless wings with buffalo and fries. I would go so far as to say better than Wing stop. All my food was hot and fresh. I've also had the Pizza and Ravioli and both were good. I also appreciate their side salads come with assorted toppings, not just a plate of lettuce.

Sausage penne
Lora D.

Wow oh Wow! So horrid day when so many things went wrong. I stopped in at Ray's on the way home, but still had stops along the way. It's great that they used the metal bowl with the cardboard top. It was easily almost an hour before I got to eat this dish...but still quite warm which you can't say for the foam to go containers. I was just bowled over with my first bite of penne sausage. I mean most places say authentic Italian but they are usually a pale imitation of the Italian I grew up on, East Coast, Jersey/ NY Italian. This packed a real WOW! If I closed my eyes I was back eating from a neighbor's Italian grandmother. The sauce, the sausage, the spices...OMG just perfection for me. Loved the bread but not as much as that dish. So why only a three? They gave me the wrong salad...a Caesar salad instead of the garden with blue cheese. The inside while very clean doesn't make me want to linger. The main dish was definitely a five. I also had a gelato which I enjoyed very much. Great selection of gelatos...sorry that photo didn't turn out. If I lived closer I'd be there a lot. So if to go is your game or you don't care about the furniture I highly recommend it. Very easy for handicapped...parking in front and door easy to enter.

We tried to come on Tuesday but we couldn't get in, so we ended up reserving for Wednesday evening. We sat outside on the patio, and had Matthew as our server. He was awesome. Very attentive, plenty of recommendations, funny, and just generally made the experience enjoyable. It was a perfect weather evening but know the patio is just on the front sidewalk. For food, you can't go wrong with the meatballs, and the burrata was good too. The pastas are fresh made and really tasty, I had the gamberi (minus olives) and I'd recommend it! Others at my table enjoyed their food too, including the branzino. Recommend giving this place a try!

Food: The dishes here were delicious! We tried a variety of dishes…read more Appetizers: 1) The Burrata plate had a lot of different variety for the table. The burrata was fresh, and really light! 2) Meatballs- the meatballs were tender and flavorful. Main dish- carbonara was good! I wish there was more flavor to it because it is not authentic the way the Italians make it! However, this might be a modification for regional palettes. Service: Matthew was the star of the show! He was funny, and attentive despite having tables inside of the restaurant to tend to as well. He kept the drinks flowing and the jokes coming! Ambiance: The restaurant is cute and quaint! There are plenty of seating inside the restaurant and a handful of seating on the patio as well. We sat outside because it was a beautiful night to people watch and enjoy the weather. The patio seating is along the S Alamo walking path, which made for very wide sidewalks! Reservations: I'd recommend having a reservation because there are nights where this place is slammed!!

The bottle-and-board special keeps bringing us back. -- Postino Broadway in San Antonio has easily…read morebecome one of those dependable neighborhood spots for lingering over wine, sharing a generous board and stretching the evening just a little longer. We eventually joined the monthly bottle membership, which probably says everything about how often this place works for us. The bruschetta boards are generously portioned with enough variety to lean savory, sweet or somewhere deliciously in between, and they pair perfectly with an easy bottle of wine. It's casual enough for a spontaneous stop but still feels polished enough to make an ordinary evening feel like a treat. One of the highlights is when they open the large bar windows and the whole space shifts into that indoor-outdoor mode. You can sit inside, outside or right along the open-air edge and enjoy the best of both. We've even come here after a full dinner somewhere else just to linger, lounge and finish the night with another pour. Postino has easily become a San Antonio spot for relaxed sips, shareable bites and easy neighborhood vibes.

Really didn't get enough to try a review…read more From our one stop that a local recommended- it wasn't worth the hype. The bruschetta flight was wheat bread (yuckyyy) and the toppings were skimped on. Flavor was not there for the food. I forced myself to eat it all too because I refuse to waste food in this economy but my bf didn't like any so I was accepting the challenge Wine was a basic glass and the atmosphere is kinda odd aesthetic. Not sure what their vibes or theme is. Kinda just plain. One bartender and she was kinda spacey and ppl were flagging her down for service. There was a man next to us at the bar and he was clearly a regular. He knew bartenders name and she knew his and the conversation was more professional / business customer service than friend. He said his meatballs didn't taste normal or good and I heard the bartender tell him either the chef quit or is on vacation and someone else was back there. He sent it back but was trying to tell her he didn't want another one but she got a manager and came out they said they were sorry and making him another one. Not sure if I went on a one off but I doubt I'll be back if in the area.

The atmosphere can be good for a date night or a casual stop. They have indoor and outdoor seating. And a big bonus for pet lovers is they allow dogs (to include large dogs)In the dining areas. Cons: service was bad. The food is good but not to die for. Went during the week and it wasn't busy. Aside from us (party of 2) there were 4 other tables occupied with small parties. Will start with the host, who wasn't at his post. That's fine, no issue probably has something to do. We waited for awhile. Another couple, with a labradoodle walked up, when the host walked up and he sat them first. I know he knew we were waiting first. The couple asked to sit outside and the host informed them they have the option to sit inside, which the couple took so the fur baby wouldn't be hot. When the host came back, I asked why he sat them first when he clearly saw us waiting and he gave the uncomfortable chuckle but no answer. Asked where we wanted to sit and I said not by the dog. (Really nothing against the dog, I just didn't want to sit by the couple he ignored us for). Moving on to the service. Waiter was slow in attending to us. Messed up boxing up the food so he went back to rebox it and took awhile to get the check to us. Overall food and atmosphere was good but service can be improved. The next week I mentioned that I had tried Fife & Farro to some people at a party and their impression was basically the same as mines "good venue and food but bad service". Which it did make me feel better that at least they are consistent and it wasn't just us. This is the kind of place to go if you have nothing but time to kill.
