    Pepperoni, sausage & bacon pizza

    We were looking for a place to try some good NY style on the way home from church today and found Little Ray's on the NE corner of 59th Ave and the 101. They serve slices every day, par-baked cheese and can then add any other toppings. From 11a-4p daily, they have a lunch special: 2 slices + drink for $8.65, with extra toppings $0.75 each. That's a pretty ballpark price for good NY slices, from what I've seen around the Valley (we were just at Buono's WF last Friday and the same special was $8.99). They add Sicilian slices to this repertoire on Fridays, with new pies going into the oven around 11am and 3pm. When assessing a new place, I like to start with a good baseline, a plain cheese slice. And Little Ray's did not disappoint. They make their dough and sauce in-house daily. Their NY style is a thin, light crust with a nice crunch, especially on the back end. Good cook on the crust, too; the undercarriage held up well and although it had a little bit of flop, it wasn't too bad and was very fold-friendly. Great ratio of cheese to sauce, which to us had just the right level of sweetness. I got photos of everything but the flop; sorry, will make a note for next time. My second slice was pepperoni. Although I prefer pepperoni cups, this was good, too, and as you can see from the photos, there was PLENTY of it. My last slice was pepperoni, sausage and bacon. I thought the sausage had plenty of flavor yet was not fatty. My wife had 2 slices of Hawaiian, which she loved. Our server, Matt, was very friendly and attentive. Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Little Ray's and have added it to our west side short list when we want some quick and delicious NY slices!

    The menu is big and includes appetizers, pizzas, and warm plates. The food is delicious and served in abundance (expect leftovers!) We have tried their pizzas (perfect thin crust that holds toppings in place - no floppy pizza here!), fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and cheesy tortellini so far. Absolutely amazing food and service! Three tv's play in the seating area, which is nice and clean. Bathrooms are clean, too. We expect to become regulars here.

    Pizza is some of the best I've had! Love a good NY slice. Staff was very nice as well. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I love trying new pizza spots so I was excited to see this place open not super far from us! We called in our order, a large half cheese half jalapeño pizza with cheesy garlic bread. It was ready right on time and pickup was easy! We wished there was a little more cheese burn on the cheesy garlic bread but it wasn't bad at all! The pizza was big and pretty tasty! Only complaint was that the crust was a little floppier than we like but it was still delicious! Sauce had a little spice to it which we enjoyed! Glad we tried it!

    A MUST if you are a pizza lover. I have been here twice in the past week and we live up near Cave Creek. Worth the drive. Today we had the Monster Pizza and it was mouth watering. Just look at the pictures. Next time we are coming for the Italian food, stuffed shells are made daily and I hear the fettuccine Alfredo is to die for.

    Little Rays Pizzeria was just delicious! We ordered the gnocchi , meatballs, pizza, and Caesar salad--everything was a perfect 10 out of 10. The service was absolutely amazing, and everyone there was super welcoming. We even spilled a drink, and they immediately ran over to help us clean up. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town!

    Came to Lil Rays after working at the adjacent EOS. I was pleased to see that they offered pizza by the slice. I decided to get 2 slices to go. The pizza was served on a plate, wrapped in a bag. I stupidly put it on my lap, grease seeped through the bag everywhere. It was a bit of a turn off. Pizza was fair, I'd maybe try something else if I come back.

    Medium cheese. Ordered default.

    Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.

    World-class pizza in AZ!…read more I have traveled the world and had many Pizzas, and this is hands-down one of the best pizza places I've ever experienced. Tucked away in the Westgate Mall, it's a compact, modern little spot that likely gets buzzing during the lunch hour. The service is excellent--you just order at the counter and they bring the pizza out to you. If you're in the area, do not pass this up. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Arizona!
