    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.

    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..

    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

    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.

    Cake batter gelato
    Reiley H.

    First of all- the pizza was AMAZING. I love the taste of a pizza that has a slight char on the crust because you know it was cooked right. Skip the calamari. It was pretty gross. The mozzarella sticks were decent. What took my by surprise was the marinara! The marinara was delicious. The gelato was okay, I probably wouldn't order it again. I would definitely return for the pizza (and their delicious ranch to dip it in) but I probably wouldn't get any of the appetizers or gelato again.

    Every South Asian restaurant I've loved in my life has been a health inspector's nightmare…read more In Berkeley, I used to frequent Kabana, where the bathrooms were disgustingly filthy, and the only source of light was my phone. Best food ever. Here in SATX, for years, I've (begrudgingly) frequented Madurai Mes a few blocks away. You enter the lobby, and it feels like the staff is having a competition over who can ignore you. It's cramped and dingy, and there are AC hoses snaked throughout the place, and I've never been able to eat there for under $30, but they make a pretty good thali. And so in my brain, the best indian food comes from Resturants you don't much want to eat at. Nawabi was huge and well lit and dare I say clean? It felt slightly dated, and culturally a bit off - like maybe it belonged to an Ethiopian restaurant before - but classy. So the food was going to suck. The menu is expansive and seemingly interesting. It was missing my thali. It did have a number of dishes that offered a few things to try. I haven't, as an adult, longed for food served from a bucket - but Biriyani seems like a solid choice with which to fill one. My kid doesn't care for dosas, but does he like chocolate dosa? I don't know, but were fixin' to find out. Some of the weekend-only options had me salivating. I ordered the Plain dosa with mutton curry. This is a novel combination to me, and maybe also to my waiter, who had me point it out on the menu. It was good, the dosa was thin and crispy with the right amount of edges, the sambar was just ok, the chutneys were good, mutton curry was excellent. I skipped dessert, and opted for chai masala. But I should have really gone with some of their kulfi which looked super tempting in its display case. In short, everything was pretty awesome. I have my next visits penciled in to try the lunch buffet, peruse the weekend menu, and track down the AYCE pani puris. The only problem was that this time - on a Monday night - I was the only customer there, which was weird. But the staff was super welcoming, no Deliverance vibes, so I went with it. If y'all could do me a favor and eat here sometimes to keep this one open, that would be awesome.

    Before I even talk about the restaurant itself, I am going to gripe about their phone system. On…read moreFriday, I called to make a reservation for 10 at 1:30 the next Tuesday, after seeing on the website that the size limit for online reservations was 8 and being directed to call the restaurant for larger parties. I got what I originally thought was a pretty advanced virtual operator. We went through all of the paces about my reservation. Then when I said it was a party of 10, it cut me off and said that the limit was eight and that I needed to call the restaurant directly to make my reservation. It gave me a number to call, which just so happened to be the actual number I was already connected to and hung up on me. I called the number again. This time I told it that I wanted to speak with a human being. It checked to see if anyone was available, apologized, and told me to call back later before asking if I needed anything else. I said I was trying to speak with someone about a reservation for 10 people. It told me it could help me with the reservation and went through the whole process again. Then it said it would check for availability. It told me there was availability, but that it would need to be confirmed with someone. Once again, no one was available. I told it I was getting really frustrated. It suggested that I book a table for eight and call back later to adjust it. I did that. I called again on Sunday and got the same virtual run around. Finally, after three tries, I was given an email address. I sent an email to someone named Adam at 1:30 pm, but never got a response. On Monday, not having heard back, I called again. I got the same run around. This time the virtual operator actually told me that I should just drive over to the restaurant to talk to the manager about my reservation since the number is busy. I called one last time at 1:41 PM on Monday. This time, the virtual assistant inexplicably asked me if I wanted to leave a message! Before, when I said I wanted to leave a message, it told me that it was not possible. I left a message, but never did hear back. When I was headed to bed late Monday night, I decided to look at the menu again. But, because the restaurant was already closed, it wouldn't even let me see the offerings. I decided at that very moment that I had had enough of Embers. I planned to call every one of my people and tell them our luncheon was canceled. This morning, I had cooled off a bit and decided to just show up and hope for the best. Now, I'll actually review the restaurant. When I walked in and joined three of my party who had already arrived, a young man asked me how many people were in my party before I could even mention my reservation. He smiled and said no problem, walked across the dining room, and put some tables together for our group. Then he led us to our chairs and morphed into our server for the rest of our visit. His name was Justin, and he alone redeemed the restaurant in my eyes. He was a terrific server- polite, attentive, patient, and very helpful. When we ordered, only two of us chose the same thing. We got the grilled meatloaf. Meatloaf is my favorite food, and this did not disappoint. It was crispy from grilling, very lightly glazed in BBQ sauce, nice and juicy, and packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes turned out to be the loaded kind, and were a perfect side. The green beans were cooked perfectly, but I wished they had a little bacon in them. Everyone enjoyed their food. I didn't hear one negative comment from them. I thought everything I actually could see from my vantage point looked amazing. I definitely have to try the ribs the next time I go. And trust me... Thanks to Justin's excellent service and the wonderful food, I will forget about the phone issue. But, I am deducting one star because of it. I hope Adam, whoever he turns out to be, reads this and realizes that the restaurant's phone system needs some tweaking. Not everyone would be as forgiving as I almost wasn't!

Filling, flavorful, and way more interesting than your standard pizza order. The pizzas: * Diablo - Holy shit. This is Hot Ones level spicy. I loved it, but this absolutely needs a warning label. If you're not into serious heat, tread carefully. * Hatch Green Chile Chicken Enchilada - Fire. Balanced, savory, and one of the standouts. * Choriqueso - Excellent. Rich, cheesy, and exactly what you hope it'll be. * Hawaiiana - Not my thing (tons of pineapple = too sweet for me), but my wife LOVED it, so take that for what it's worth. Sides & extras: * Tajín wings - Surprisingly good flavor. Not quite Wingstop-level (same parent company), but still solid and enjoyable. * Breadsticks & Nutella churros - Great taste, but both were a little on the hard side. * Sauces - Biggest surprise of the whole order. The spicy ranch absolutely wins. I'd order it again just for that. For the price, variety, and flavor, this was a win. If you like bold flavors and aren't afraid of heat, Pizza Patron delivers--just maybe keep some milk nearby if you're going Diablo.

    Some satisfying pizza…read more Pizza Patron had some pretty good deals going, so we decided to swing by to pick up a carry out pizza. We ordered a large Half-Cheese Half-Hawaiian Pizza, which got us a pretty judgmental look and comment from one of the employees, but other than that the service was fine and, most importantly, they got our order right. The pizza itself was messily cut and had slid around a bit in the box by the time we opened it up despite the smooth ride back home. Be that as it may, it was yummy. It had TONS of gooey cheese, the crust was soft and chewy, and there was a plentiful amount of ham and pineapple on the Hawaiian side. Zero complaints. We ate every bite. All in all it was a good cheap pizza, and I wouldn't mind returning to try something else off the menu.
