Not Ray's Pizzza has been around for a long time. It's small and old timey looking inside- not a bad thing. The pizza is good, with a sweet tasting tomato sauce that tastes homemade. My pepperoni slice today was greasy, cheesy greatness. Would've been perfect, if it had been served to me hot as I requested. Prices are still cheaper than most pizza shops. Not Ray's is alright with me! read more

Not Ray's Pizza - Pepperoni slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I come here about once a month, maybe twice and update my review every now and then. Not rays is still going strong. It's my local pizza shop that I adore. From the friendliness to the delicious pizza you can't go wrong. Today I went with the white slice (has spinach too) and added suasage. Hot, cheesy, crispy crust and delicious. Tables for sitting and I'm always able to grab one. Bathroom available and tv always on the news channel or basketball. read more

What Not Ray's Pizza isn't - it is not fancy, hip, trendy or a hot spot. That's totally okay with me. Not Ray's Pizza is a Fort Greene institution, a Brooklyn pizza institution. It is the best place in the neighborhood for great, authentic, delicious pizza. It's not about going to someplace that is all hype. It's all about the pizza, really good pizza! It's the perfect slice or the perfect pie. The crust is just how I like it, thin and crispy. It isn't floating in sauce that takes over the pizza. The tomato sauce is just the right amount, with great flavor. It isn't dripping with oil. The amount of cheese is spot on and melts in your mouth. I haven't had a pizza or slice that has disappointed. The pepperoni is a favorite, you can't go wrong with a regular slice or a grandma slice. The service is always friendly, they are hard working and that's because they make great pizza. It's hot, right out of the oven and irresistible. read more

Decent NY slice shop. Nothing special, but if you're craving a quick cheese slice, this place will do. I will say it's much more expensive than other slice shops. $14 for three slices is pretty ridiculous. I'd recommend Impasto Pizza a few blocks away if you want something much better for less. Luigi's is also better and cheaper. There are plenty of other good options nearby. read more

Not bad pizza ... nothing special... more of a Long Island taste, doughy, grease... but will do!!

Not bad pizza. I ordered online, and it was ready in about 10 minutes, the time it took to walk there. The price online was $22 when I ordered. The fella I picked up from charged me $26, really just because he could. If you use a credit card, they add on some arbitrary charge to your bill, again, just because. Oh well! read more

3.5. It's good NY pizza. There was a good crisp to it and a lil chew which is the way I like it. Cooked well. Cheese and sauce weren't rich in taste but were good. read more

Not Ray's Pizza - Cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Descent spot for pizza. Has a nice toasty crust and cheesy. This is a good spot for Brooklyn style pizza. Reminds me of childhood and the service is friendly. $23 for half plain half pepperoni size large. The sausage pepperoni size large was about $29. Ambiance- fast pace with lots of people ordering. Very busy pizzeria and only a few seatings inside. Most people take their pizza to go and it's a really laid back spot to get pizza. read more

Would give 4.5 stars for the pizza, rounding up to 5 stars on Yelp. High quality delicious pizza slices. Great flavors. Thin crust. The whole family loved the pizza. Friendly service. Nice place. Reminds me of Italy. That tells more than words. read more

We ordered a bunch of pies from there. I am doing keto so opted for a chicken roll and just pulled the chicken from bread. There was not a lot of chicken on it. But tasted good. Everyone said pizza was good. Lots of choices read more

Good option for pizza. Plain cheese all day and everyday! Service is prompt and no frills.

I was looking at my account and saw this review, and having since had more pizza, I just cannot in good conscience keep this place at a 5 star review. While it is still fine pizza, it is simply not as good as some other pizza places I've since reviewed. read more

Not Rays is still kickin', so i had to update my previous review with an add'l star. Lemme remind y'all - i've been enjoying Not Rays for *several* decades and they've still got it! Their slices have that PERFECT New York pizza taste. i ordered a medium pie this past weekend - half plain, half fresh mozz and Baybehhhhh! That fresh mozz half changed my life okay? It's the only thing i wanna eat now. Too bad i don't live in the Fort Greene area anymore cuz i'd be 3,000 lbs eating that fresh mozz pie everyday. Everyone in my house enjoyed their slices, even my fussy 1.5 year old. Plus the little dashes of fresh basil on top give it some extra panache. Needless to say - get your life together like i got mine, and get some Not Rays. *Note: this is NOT a fancy shmancy pizza joint, but they are serving up comforting, down home, deliciousness for the masses. And they clearly have staying power - i've seen their block on Fulton lose businesses left and right - it's so sad - but glad to see that Not Rays continues to stick with recipes, pies, and slices that keep the people happy. i hope to stop in again soon (for a LARGE pie this time!) read more

The food never disappoints! I grew up in the neighborhood but moved in 2004. To be able to return and the pizza is still great, wows me! Brought a friend with me and he co-signs this flavorful review. Service is excellent and it still has that good old Brooklyn pizza shop ambiance that I craved for. read more

Surprisingly good. I was not expecting this pizza to be as good as it ended up being. I had heard good things about this pizza joint, but was very surprised at the whole experience. The pizza is served incredibly hot and takes a hard five minutes to cool down. I thought about asking for napkins and a fork and knife to eat this, but I manned up and persevered for a welcome final result. The plain slice has a very crispy crust; no chew whatsoever. The slice is so crispy that I was unable to fold it. But it has a nice flavor with the right amount of herbs and salt. The cheese and sauce make for a pleasant mouth feel so it did go down easily. It is a greasy slice, so take your time eating this slice. My specialty slice was a stuffed meat slice. It contains meatballs, sausage, and pepperoni. The pizza is so dense it could almost qualify as a Sicilian slice in triangle format. I was expecting it to be messy, cumbersome, and give my insides full fright. Sure, it is messy, it is cumbersome, but it tasted so fresh that my stomach was welcoming it with opens arms. That is until I got to the crust, where I reached my breaking point and had to surrender my crust to the trash bin, something so sinful for any pizza enthusiast to do. But overall I really liked this pizza. It was real busy, filled with hard working professionals, and you get a professional looking slice in return. I would say that is a pretty fair deal. What do you think? read more

Great for what it is but why was the pizza a square instead of slices? And very greasy. But the pesto was a fairly good taste. Convenient location read more

Boy meets girl. Girl flirts with boy. Boy walks with girl and decides to fill her belly...with food. Pizza shop pops up. Not just a pizza shop. But "It's Not Rays." Girl gets 1 slice boy gets 2. Boy and girl decide to eat in a nearby car. At first sight the slice looks good. Girl takes one bite and then another. Boy asks girl "be honest, how is it?" Girl replies: 3.5/5 "nice thin crust needs a bit more saltiness, nice texture, good cheese pull, Good tomato taste With just the right amount of sauce. Boy wins another date with girl. read more

We were looking for pizza slices the size of our faces on paper plates and Not Ray's Pizza made our pizza dreams come true! We had the regular cheese slice, lasagna slice, and beef patty with cheese and omg all were so delicious from the first bite to the last crunchy crumb. Out of all the rays in the neighborhood Not Ray's really shined. The best pizza place is not Ray's it is Not Ray's. The staff was so friendly and welcoming and it had a great ambiance. read more

Glows: Regular/ grandma were delicious, Great pizza quality overall. Would definitely reorder!

Hot piping, fresh, delicious, NY slice right here in Fort Greene. How lucky are we to live close nearby. As my Mother-in-law said about this place: "I don't know how I would survive living next to a pizza that is so good". After trying all of their slices, we have a favorite: White Pesto. Yum! 2nd place: Stuffed meat pizza. See you soon, dear pizza. read more

The best pizza hands down. I've been going there since I was a teenager. Every time I come home one of my 1st stop.

Born in Brooklyn NY, moved to Columbia SC. Only the best slice of pizza I had on my vacation. It was four months ago and I still remember my euphoria! I was just driving by and stopped. So nostalgic, so delicious. Thin, spotted darkness crispy crust...just enough greasiness, and cheesy. Delicious!! read more

Pizza is pretty food for a night in. I wish I would've gotten some crush peppers and garlic seasoning to make it elite! But for $30+ for delivery and a big ass pizza, it'll due. Eat it with the ladies or the fellas and the delivery person was fast as hell. Pizza was still warm. I'm a fan - Big Rom read more

The pricing was very odd for these speciality pizza of 1-3 dollar difference for sizes. But I ended up ordering a large pizza for veggies and chicken pizza. The menu online was a nice interface to use to customize your pizza (similar to dominoes format). The veggie pizza was surprisingly good and didn't taste as soggy and had good seasoning to it. The chicken pizza was very underwhelming and didn't have enough cheese or sauce on it... almost just tasted like eating meat on bread with minimal content. For a take out/to go pizza: this is a solid place to get for a party or if you have a pizza craving. But I think they need to work on their chicken pizza and add more cheese to it. read more

Would give it a 3.5 realistically but doesn't work that way. This is my idea of a good local spot to grab a slice when you're too lazy to venture more than a few blocks for some affordable food/pizza. Served by the slice or by the pie. No line when I went on a Sunday evening; quick and convenient. Staff was chill. Food: Pizza was flavorful, crispy, plenty of options and sides (garlic knots). In order of favorites: Pepperoni, Pesto, Lasagna, Veggie -- they had other slices too but didn't end up trying any of those. Favorite part for me was that the crust was done perfectly, not too thick and perfectly crispy. Long story short: Good NY slice, convenient and easy but nothing over the top. read more

One of the best pizza spots in Brooklyn. If you're hungry hungry try their stuffed meats slice, but other then that my two go to's are the grandma pesto slice and the bruschetta slice . The grandma slice is a square pie with a thin crust that's so buttery with the pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh basil. The bruschetta slice is a thick square pie baked with mozzarella and topped with tomato bruschetta . All 3 are amazing read more

first time ordering from here. Got a Grandma's w/ Pesto. Delicious! Super thin, crispy crust. Will definitely order again.

On a lazy Monday afternoon, a curious gentleman with an unhealthily large appetite wandered along Fulton Street. He stepped into Not Ray's Pizza, and carefully perused the available items, selecting the buffalo chicken slice since it looked the freshest out of the pizza sitting in the display case. He quietly paid the $4.75 that was asked of him for the slice and a bottle of Poland Spring. He sat down in the window, took a bite of his pizza, and deemed it passable. Soon after, a girl in her late teens walked in with a friend. She pointed at our hero's slice and said, "I want that, but I only have $3.75. And I want a lemonade too." In a thick Russian accent, the guy behind the counter agreed he would give her a special price. Our hero shook his head sadly and thought, "Is it possible I'm not as cute as I think I am?" read more
