Aw yeah, Voodoo Ray's. You're like having a slice of home. Pizza by the slice is a god-send when you need it. Post-drink, when you're in a hurry, etc. It was busy when we came in; lots of happy faces. I was told that it was similar to a favorite by-the-slice place. While we waited for the pizza, I helped myself to the pitchers of water on the counter. One pitcher had fresh sprigs of mint in it, which was refreshing after so much walking! Before long, I'm brought my slice (handing back my order slip) and head out the door. We're running late! And you know, it was close. On the Margherita, the amount of sauce to crust was superb, the mozzarella was melted nicely, and the amount of basil was balanced. I bought a side of garlic mayo to dip the crust into. I'll be back! read more

I would call this place slightly American, as buying pizza by the slice and getting a decent slice for that matter seems very New York to me. I guess it does have that East London hipster vibe as well. I got a slice of the olive, sausage and white cheese (looked a bit like feta), which felt very Mediterranean to me and it tasted really nice. I also got a beer with it that I liked the packaging of but that was not particularly impressive. In general I did like the food and the atmosphere and it is a great place to go after you've had a few drinks on a night out. Not sure if I would cross the city to get there just for it but if I happen in the are and crave some pizza I'd be happy to visit again. read more

Voodoo Ray's - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

See all

Voodoo Rays has a casual, chilled out ambiance with stripped back but interesting decor. I really like how they have all the pizzas out on display - I always end up just pointing at the one that catches my eye. There's a great variety of pizza types on offer too - including some tasty veggie options and a vegan slice too. I went for a slice of The Meat Is On, covered in minced steak, pepperoni, ham, pancetta, mozzarella and tomato sauce. And although it's 'only a slice', Voodoo Ray slices are pretty darn big. I probably could have eaten two, but for a post night out snack this was just what I needed. The thin crust and generous toppings make for a tasty slice, quick and easy to order and eat. Great value and taste! read more

Voodoo Ray's - The Meat Is On @ Voodoo Ray's, Dalston - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

I had heard the hype about Voodoo Rays and for me... It definitely lived up to it! Huge slices of pizza you buy by the slice that pack a flavorful punch! The type of pizza you definitely burn your mouth on because you just want to eat it so bad! Accompany these delicious slices with a frozen margarita or craft beer and it makes for the perfect chilled out venue to go at the beginning, middle and end of a night out. The only slightly disappointing part of my voodoo Ray experience was the wait on our Mac & Cheese which was a little lack luster in comparison to the pizza. Overall though, Voodoo Rays is a place that I would definitely go back for seconds. read more

Voodoo Ray's - Big slices with Frozen Margaritas and Beer - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

Voodoo Rays is busy with hipsters and there is pretty much always a queue! I loved the menu- simple but enough to make everyone happy. I got the Buffalo Margherita, it was good but not the best pizza I've had in my life. And it was also a bit cold. I'll save Voodoo Rays' slices for these nights out in Dalston when you end up drunk and really hungry! read more

Americanisms have been jumping the Atlantic for decades now, so I guess it was only a matter if time before some smart Alec started serving pizza by the slice. As a typical Brit, my first thought was "but... where's the rest if my pizza going?!". My concerns were at least dampened a bit by the sight of the slices - they're huge! LIKE ON AMERICAN TV!!! One slice is a snack, two a light meal and three a decent meal comparison's to a 10" pizza (at a guess). So that's the slice controversy out of the way, but is it any good? The base is very well done, quite thin, but rigid enough to support such a large slice. I'd be interested to see how they avoid a soggy base in the middle as is the case with Italian style pizza. The toppings are fairly standard (margarita, a few veg options, a few salami options, a few sausage options). I ordered a cabbage & bacon slice and a fennel sausage slice (well, actually I had ordered the aubergine veg slice, but my friend accidentally ate that thinking it was his courgette veg slice - who would confuse an aubergine for a courgette?!? Anyway, I digress). I was really impressed with the cabbage & bacon. It's not a common topping for pizza but worked well. It was good to see the bacon used sparingly to complement the cabbage rather than the usual massive meat fix that American pizza is known for. The fennel sausage pizza was decent too, but more conventional. The fennel flavour came through in the sausage, which is great considering the number of times I've seen menus trying their damnedest to make their sausage sound fancy without delivering the taste. There was also macaroni cheese available as a side, but we didn't try it. The decor is pretty cheap and drab (bohemian chic?), but service is relatively fast, so there not much reason to hang around. Orders are marked on a little ticket (another American hangover?) with staff bringing in slices whilst shouting out ticket numbers. All very inefficient and noisy, whatever happened to table numbers?? So good pizza, but the price means I won't be going out of my way to return. At ~£4-5 for most slices, the cost soon racks up. Three slices for £10 would have been nice (but I guess this is London). That considered, I'm grateful that voodoo have taken the pizza seriously, it would have been all too easy for them to do a half job - it's not that difficult to sell hipsters pizza, but they've clearly gone to some effort to produce great food. Due to the cost I've been umming and ahhing whether it's 3 or 4 stars, but being London I'll give the benefit of the doubt that theat's just the way it is! The food is top notch and that's the main thing. read more

As a former Brooklyn resident with pizza places every block, I love that they serve slices. But those slices are overpriced. read more

One of my favourite pizzas in London. American style pizza, I ordered the Hawaiian one and was great. It's not cheap, but it worth it. If you're looking for a tasty,crispy,thin pizza, voodoo ray is the pizzeria to go. read more

Voodoo Ray's is a fun place to grab a delicious slice of pizza! The atmosphere is fun and the pizza is even better. With its eclectic assortment of pizza toppings and choices, this make it the perfect place for a quick bite to eat or late night snack! read more

Good pizza when you are drunk, don't know how it tastes when you are sober. I would give more stars but my bf asked the lady behind the till if she knows where the name Voodoo Ray came from and she looked at him as he was some sort of lunatic. Wtf. read more

It's like being in goddamn New York city, baby. Meeting my friend for a movie at the Rio, she messaged to ask me to pick up a frozen margarita here before the show started. 'They serve them in a takeaway cup, if you ask'. Booze in a to-go cup? Damn, I'm sold! It was my first time here and I loved the laid back, hipster NYC vibe. Sure, it's a little try-hard but I won't complain. Voodoo's was jam-packed with hipsters lining up to buy a slice and perch at the counter top to eat. It is so very un-London that I loved it. Loved the black and white brickwork where the menu is drawn on in sharpie, the counter full of giant pizza pies and the array of flavoured olive oils you can dress your pizza with. I went for sausage with stilton and it was so good that I'm thinking about it right now. You can buy by the slice, which is £2 on a Monday, or the whole pie. I'm not a huge fan of pre-made pizzas, so I think, in future, I'll ask for whatever came out of the oven last because I like my pizza hot and fresh. read more

After a night out down the road at Dalston Superstore, we stumbled into Voodoo Rays. My sense of taste may have been at bit skewed in these early morning hours. While my slice of Hot Mix 5 satisfied my drunchies, looking back I'm sure that had a lot to do with the fact it was past 2 AM. In my inebriated state, I thought to myself "Is pizza supposed to be this cold?" If you are fresh from the club and looking to rehydrate, definitely order the hot mix 5 pizza (with pepperoni, huge slices of jalapenos and red chilies) - it had me chugging water like there was no tomorrow. read more

I was excited about going to Voodoo Ray's for the first time because it's my friend's favourite and it looked pretty cool every time I walked by. So we met there on a weekday night, ordered a few slices and some beer at the bar and sat down at the long tables. We found seats easily but on weekends it's probably packed. After a little while they called out our number and we picked up our paper plates from the bar. I liked everything so far but unfortunately I was disappointed by the pizza. Obviously other people are crazy about it but Voodoo Ray's crisp pizza crust doesn't rock my boat at all. It was just too dry and too different from regular pizza to me. Anyways I think it's pretty wicked that they have vegan pizzas like the QUEEN VEGAN and the V4U as well. read more

Hip and busy pizza by the slice joint in Dalston. Pretty good selection of pizzas on offer that will be warmed up when you order. The size of the slice is good however each one will set you back about £4. Drinks are good although there wasn't a wine option when I was there and the chilli oil on the table packs a bit of a punch. Overall it's a decent option, especially at 3 in the morning when it always seems to be busy but there's better food in the area read more

The best thing about hipsters invading "the hood" is there's bound to be food available at a very good price. It's a mega plus when that food happens to be good. I cannot help but go inside voodoo Rays when I'm out in Dalston for a night. Night out in Dalston- Voodoo rays comes as part of the package. Despite the crowd in this area being very cool and trendy, you feel very comfortable and welcomed once you go through the door. You walk in, make your order, which takes very, very quick to get served, and you find yourself a seat and get stuck in. The pizza's are sold per slice, and one slice definitely hits the spot, and fills you up. However, you will find yourself ordering another slice- that's just how delicious it is! Food bursting with flavour, simple and comfortable environment- this is without a doubt my favourite pizza spot in London. You can eat this before a night out, if you need a quick bite- or you can have it at the end of the night before you get the night bus home. Me- I prefer both. I do highly recommend going here to eat, especially if you're a pizza lover like I am. I have to say, the pizza maybe here are on par, or if not better, then the ones in NYC. I know, I know, that is a very big statement to say, but a 100% true. read more

Tasty large slices of pizza when we were in a hurry, and I'll definitely come back to try the drinks sometime. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday evening and the atmosphere was really relaxed and chill. Lots of vegetarian options as well which was a plus for me :) read more

London has lots of options for pizza -- whole pizza. What about when you want a single, elaborate slice, New York-style? In steps Voodoo Ray's. It's conveniently located near the Rio cinema and the clubs of Dalston Kingsland and stays open late. The pizzas have creative names (I had the Giorgio Manucci with grilled zucchini) and are always exactly what you're craving. As a single diner, it was easy for me to find a seat at the high bar. read more

If you're looking for something a bit different from Pizza Express then try Voodoo Ray's, 2 minute walk from Dalston Kingsland overground station. As a vegetarian, I found there was a really good selection of slices available, including some unusual options with 'green sauce' instead of the traditional tomato sauce base. The slices are big, I managed with two. I like that you order by the slice, so you can mix it up a bit, and it's not too much of a disaster if one of your slices isn't as nice as you planned (as it turned out, both my slices were fine). The crust is crunchy and not doughy - tick. Interesting variety of green olives on the pizza - tick. (Also, just going to put it out there - the olives had this weird aftertaste. The only way I can describe it is 'birthday cake'. Can't explain any more than that. Sorry). Service was quick and efficient. No minimum card charge. Lots of beers available, including Pabst Blue Ribbon, which, for Blue Velvet/David Lynch/Dennis Hopper purposes, I always enjoy ordering. There were a few dessert options of the brownie/blondie variety, which didn't take my fancy. Cocktails also available. The music was slightly louder than I would've liked, but I was still able to maintain a conversation, and I do realise this is Dalston. Also, one of the tracks that came up was 'I Might Be Wrong' by Radiohead, so mad props there for dipping into Amnesiac, the underrated treasure trove of an album from Radiohead's 2000-01 glory years, where they were at their creative peak, knocking out Can-style jam sessions and then crafting them into the best music nuggets ever to grace the ears of this reviewer... read more

Having been to New York a few times I've always wondered when there would be a by the slice pizzeria. I went to the one in Dalston very late into the night after leaving a club. These slices are huge, fresh and have a nice crispy crunch like the NYC ones usually do. And in true New York style I went for a regular slice. Plain and simple it was lovely. I like the addition of the 'Full Moon slice' with bacon dust and Japanese Mayo which is only available from midnight. I know they have just opened a Boxpark branch so hopefully I get to try that soon. Can't help but think it might be a little too pricey for a slice though. *Note I went to the Boxpark one last night (Thurs 14th May) and it wasn't open at 11.30 which is rubbish considering it's supposed to be a NYC style pizza jpint. Even for a takeaway? But seems it's because of Shoreditch licensing) read more

If you miss American pizza, big floppy slices sold by the slice, this is the only place in london that comes close Chilli oil is amazing too read more

All the pizzas look so dang tasty here, and it always brings me back to dollar slice places in the USA. But actually the gooey mac and cheese stood out to me most, and then the brownie, omg... Served warm with a dark chocolate oozey sauce and icing sugar. Goddamn. I'm going back for one right now!! read more

Voodoo Ray's is a gem. I'd been hoping to find a place to get a decent solitary slice of pizza for ages, then stumbled upon this place on my way home one night. The portions are very generous and the slide of the slice is matched by the quality of it. They have a nice selection of craft beers too, which is always a bonus. This is extremely good 'za and cheap to boot! read more

Voodoo Ray's - Finally able to reenact the intro to Louie. - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

It was the first time I had visited Voodoo Rays and it will be the last. The staff were so incredibly rude and unhelpful that myself and all my friends walked out. There was absolutely zero customer service. I myself am a manager in the food retail trade and I've honestly never experienced a customer journey so bad. Their attitude stinks read more

You will never have pizza like this anywhere else. Perfect for lunch from Shoreditch and perfect for dinner every night of the week. Keep in mind, that every Monday they have slice night where all slices are £2.50 Also try the midnight slice if you are out drinking late on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Nice Pizza in central Dalston area but I would say a bit overpriced. You can have a slice or order a whole one to share with friends. The place gets extremelly crowded on Friday & Saturday nights. read more

When I'm Dalston, Voodoo Rays is always one of my stop-offs. Great vibe and the pizza is amazing, people are nice and the music always pump'n. read more

Maybe if you're drunk, you might enjoy this place. But sniff so much as a coffee and you'll be shocked to your senses enough to realise that this place tries far too hard to recreate something that should be, by its very nature, easy and relaxed. The main problem with this place is the fact it's let pretension rule the roost - apparently there is no need here for friendly, helpful staff with any nouse for, or apparently experience of, the very basics of good customer service. The thinking seems to be that the concept is so great and well thought-out that staff can be rude, unapologetic and treat customers as if they should simply feel lucky they're in there (and even luckier if they've been allowed to consume their overpriced goods at a table!). It stinks and I sincerely hope they get wise to the fact that, however of the moment your neat idea might be now, good service is what will keep people coming back when the fad for Americana has abated. read more

Located inside Camden Market. The slices are nothing to write home about, especially for a 4 pound per price charge. It was a filler but taste and crust wise it didn't warrant the cost. Good customer service and great open ambiance. read more

The place to go to after a few drinks in Dalston. Pizza slices are delicious and of good size for a late night snack. Slightly price-y but very well-made and tasty. Friendly and bubbly staff considering their late working hours and how busy it gets on the weekends when all nearby bars close. Have gone there for drinks on weekdays aswell but would rather recommend it as a pizza place. Always a good vibe, nevertheless. read more

It's reheated pizza. Expensive reheated pizza. Not very good, expensive, reheated pizza. And it's a small slice. Less endearing than the pizzas are those who manufacture them. The surly, fumbling staff. Those who are preparing and serving the food seem to have dubious personal hygiene, as is the fashion in this part of town. If you get a smile/eye-contact/thank you out of the person who takes your £3-£4+ for the expensive, reheated, not very good pizza then you may less begrudgingly exchange your hard-earned for some disappointment on a paper plate. The pizza was dry, over-cooked and bland. I saw one of the advertised pine nuts. They've worked hard to perfect the method of destroying gourmet ingredients - or just billing them but omitting to provide. If you want great tasting, super value, consistently top quality pizza with friendly staff go to Franco Manca not too far away. Although I get the feeling that drunked-up Dalstonites don't really care about the quality of the food, or the value of it - it's more about the brash canteen ambiance; tiles and bare brick like a derelict public lavatory. Do wash your hands! read more

Got some takeaway pizza slices from here for my birthday, they were pretty tasty and generous in size. They have a vegan option and length of meat focused slices. Looks like a nice place to sit in too. read more

Went at 19:15 on a weekday. After waiting in line for 20 minutes, there were only 2 types of slices available out of their 10 or so menu options. They said it'd be another 20 minutes if we wanted our slices heated up. We decided to warm the slices at home in the oven instead. Mediocre flavours, bland bread. Definitely not worth the price. read more

This is perfect to pop in for a bite to eat before/ after visiting the Rio cinema next door. The slices are large and delicious, very oily which is the only negative for me, but a great range to choose from. Yum yum! read more

Around £4 for a slice and £22 for a whole 22 inch pizza. Real good selection of vegetarian and vegan pizzas (Queen Vegan slice for life)

This is a one star review but I've given two stars to avoid being 'filtered' (censored). Popped into Voodoo Rays for a slice of pizza after a friend recommended it. Unfortunately was confronted with incompetent and indifferent staff. Waited five minutes to make eye contact only to be told I was in the wrong queue and should proceed to the back. Pizza looks okay, nothing special. Expensive for what it is: a distant approximation of New York. Ended up heading to Super Kebab instead where they know how to do customer service. Would encourage others to read the 'filtered' reviews on this page. read more

A cool little pizza by the slice joint in the heart of Dalston. The slices are large so three or four and you'll be full. It's no frills, which also makes it unique with a chilled out atmosphere. My only minus would be that its expensive for what it is. read more

My friends and I decided to have a house party and these 22 inch pizzas were really nice. Saved us a lot of time and we could focus on the party rather than cooking read more

Oh. My. Yes. What a find. Apparently this is the drunk (post Dalston Superstore) person's pizza paradise but I ventured here completely sober in my sweats to see if this was indeed, NY style pizza. And it is. I only wish they delivered! You can choose by the slice or the pie and though the menu is quite extensive a selection, on the day I went they were also featuring a chilli pizza complete with sour cream and and beef and tomato bits. As purists, my partner and I both ordered a slice of cheese each, but also dabbled with a buffalo mozzarella slice, the chilli slice (of course), and a slice with zucchini on top that was marketed to me as "tasting just like lasagna". If you have been searching for a damn good slice of pizza in London - this is absolutely the spot. It's hard to get the NYC crust exactly right, and they aren't quite there yet - but its a real good attempt. Also of note - There is a decent selection of beers (but as I was a bit ill I went for the coconut water - (what!? where am i?) - I was won over seeing the choices of Brooklyn lagers. The whole experience actually felt like sitting in a more upscale pizza joint in the middle of Brooklyn - feeding into my predictions for Dalston's future (fingers crossed). Highly recommended for either a drunk or sober night out with friends. We were lucky as we checked this out on a Saturday during the holiday season but according to the folks that served us (all really friendly and willing to give advice on your selection) the lines on the weekend are normally absurd. read more

The idea of Voodoo Ray's - a New York-style place serving pizza by the slice into the early hours of the morning - is a good one. And the space / atmosphere is fun. (Justifying two stars.) It's just the pizza itself really bad. Even the most basic dollar slice place in New York would serve up something better. read more
