This is my second time having pepperoni rays in one week. The wings and fries are my absolute favorite. Someone I got food with ordered the hot sausage pizza and they thought it was really good. It was nice, fresh, and hot! The service was great and it was very clean in there. read more

Overall it's a decent spot, wouldn't put it any higher or any less. Wouldn't call it good or bad, just decent. The pizza is a solid pie, my critiques for it would probably be the floppy crust and the amount of grease.. and the price. I personally think the price was ridiculous. It also came with 8 wings and this is where most of my critique comes from. Those wings were OVER SEASONED, I got lemon pepper wings and usually people complain when they get food that "there isn't enough salt" I had to wipe all of the lemon pepper off of the wings, it was just to much. That was the most sodium intake I've ever had in a 2 hour span, it's the next day and my face and physique are completely bloated. Overall a decent spot I'd give it a 6/10, not great but not bad, I personally wouldn't try it again. read more

Pepperoni Ray's Cafe - Large Pizza - Chicken Wings Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because they were very crowded and it's small so seating and parking is limited. I expected it to be even more crowded than it was given it's owned by a popular social media influencer and local grown shero. Outside of that, the vibe is great and the pizza was delicious. I created my own small pizza since many specialty items have pork and I'm allergic but there are plenty non pork add-ons such as veggies, chicken, crawfish, and beef. The flavor was in point. I almost burned the roof of my mouth cause it tasted so good even though it was fresh off the press hot. read more

Food was good. Service was good, friendly staff member at the register. Chill vibe. The service had a wait but they cleared the list fairly quickly. The only downside was I couldn't try the crawfish bread on this day. I will have to get it once I'm back in New Orleans. read more

Ordered take out on Christmas Eve and unfortunately we did not love it. I had the gentilly pizza which is very popular but it was very oily, probably due to the pesto. My family shared the meat lovers which they complained the pizza was both overcooked and undersauced. I was excited to support and hoping they were busier that usual due to the holiday. I will give them another chance because they have great reviews but my experience yesterday was not worth the premium price. read more

This is the best I mean best pizza and wings you can get in the state of Louisiana everything is fresh and very tasteful

I've been wanting to try them for a few months and finally had the chance to make my way to this pizza spot. I live an hour away and it was surely worth the drive and my time! I will definitely be back again soon. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I ordered a meat pizza, wings and crawfish bread. I have no complaints at all. read more

I called in the order so not a dine-in review. Great place to grab and go for a pizza. Everyone was friendly. The pizza was to die for. I almost ate the whole box by myself. The wings were perfect as well. This spot was 10x better than any chain pizza place. Food was ready in the time I was given. It took about 12-15 minutes but that's not bad at all. My order was ready when I walked in. read more

The pizza was the only good "decent" item on the menu. Pipping hot every bite. We ordered hot lemon pepper wings, lemon pepper wings, bbq wings, garlic Parmesan fries, large pizza - pepperoni, bacon and green peppers. The wings were not good. SUPER BIG! The sauce is just poured on the wings, they are not tossed. The fries were were just McDonald's fries with cheese toppings. Nothing special. The drinks were just liquor and mix. I'm super sad about the food! I only went because I love Supa Cent. I wanted to support my girl. Unfortunately I do not have pictures because I visited the location last week and I just remembered to rate it on here. But yes! Supa! So disappointed. I'm a foodie and if I wasn't intoxicated the pizza probably wouldn't have been good read more

I waited to post this review because I needed to see how the pizza help up during a reheat the next day and boy was I satisfied. I enjoyed the hot sausage pizza (hot sausage, green peppers, red onions) which was highly recommended by a neighbor friend. Now don't be surprised at their pricing. This isn't dominos or pizza corporate chain where you can get a $10 or less pizza. I spent $27 including tip for the large pizza. However it lasted me 3 days (one dinner and two lunches). The service was great. They answered all my questions and made sure I had everything I needed before leaving. The inside is diner styled but there's plenty of booths if you want to eat inside. Next time I will try the wings which also come highly recommended. And I may throw some shredded lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and a bit of Japanese Mayo atop my pizza and remix it into a hot sausage "poboy" pizza. read more

Good food. Ordered the large pepperoni with sausage and wings with hot and lemon pepper flavors. Everything was good!

The service was deplorable the representative before we actually attempt to get there representative hung up on my wife twice. Then when we got it, they said it was closed and she still had a negative attitude when I got here so I do not recommend this business to anyone. read more

Pepperoni Ray's Cafe - Service was horrible. Customer service was pitiful representative extremely rude. - Chicken Wings Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have been wanting to try this place forever & I'm glad I did. I had an appointment in the area and placed an order through Uber eats. The food was ready when I got there. The owner was extremely friendly and gave me all of the condiments needed for my order. Since it was my first time i ordered a small pepperoni pizza with a side of hot wings. I drove my food all the way to the westbank and it was still hot. I was extremely pleased with everything and will definitely be back. read more

The pizza Decent. Good service. Nothing spectacular at all, but it is edible. The cheesy bread is wonderful so I'm pretty sure the crawfish bread is also good. read more

Pizza is terrible. Like frozen supermarket pizza. Tasteless sauce, undercooked crust, cheap cheese.

I visited Pepperoni Ray's for the first time last night after I moved my daughter and her friend into UNO. After a long day of work, we were starving, and I found PR's on Yelp very close with great reviews, so gave it a try. I got a large cheese pizza with extra cheese carryout. It was ready in about 20 minutes, and I waited in the restaurant. It is a nice, chill place to be, with nice friendly staff. Now the pizza we all agreed was one of the best we ever tasted. You can tell the sauce and crust are homemade, the sauce has a delicious fresh flavor, and the crust is the perfect thickness and texture, kind of thin but not too thin. The cheese was so tasty, exactly the right amount. Yum, yum, yum. We were wishing we had ordered more, and will be returning soon! read more

This is THE best pizza in the city! I sincerely cannot thank Mr. Ray and his family enough for sharing their delicious food with us--I try to come through once a week! read more

Today was my first time going after they transferred ownership. I was apprehensive as I historically LOVE them. I am happy to say not much has changed. I got a lg pepperoni pizza and crawfish bread. The pizza sauce was a little bit sweeter than previously but not too sweet. The crust was just right also. The crawfish bread was amazing and well seasoned also. What I like most is this place consistently is never to greasy & does not give me heartburn like other chains. I am happy to say they will remain a family favorite. read more

I rolled into Pepperoni Ray's and was warmly greeted by the pleasant staff as I entered. The pizzas are made to order so I chose my two toppings then took a seat. The host put on some good vibes music while I waited. The pizza was fresh and crispy on the edges when it was ready. I would definitely return, I liked how it wasn't overly crowded and was open during that slow time between lunch and dinner. read more

I love the wings from pepperoni rays. They are always nice and crispy and fried hard like I like. Staple neighborhood establishment. I always feel welcomed when I go inside to get my food. If you like sweet wings, the spicy Inferno is great. Not spicy, but really nice flavor. read more

Went to check this place out after seeing about it on IG and it did not disappoint! Got a large pep with extra cheese. Some of the best pizza I've had since moving out of California. The homemade tomato sauce for base is the best I've had hands down, also had a side salad that was good, came with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and bacon but took carrots & bacon off, I don't eat all that in my salad but it was good. to black owned so that was good as well. Pizza was 10/10 and the woman who took my order was friendly as well. I'll be back once back in the city for work. Found my go to pizza spot when I'm back in the New Orleans area. read more

Pepperoni Rays When most people think of pizza, they think of big national chains that have been around for a while. So I thought it was pretty clever of @pepperonirays to open up his own pizza spot, and expand the menu to include wings , salad , fries , cheese and crawfish bread . The pizzas come in two sizes, personal and large. There are nine specialty pizzas, 14 toppings and four premium toppings. The pizza was really, really good. The crust was perfect, not too thick and not too thin. When you bite into it, there still was a crunch but not all at once. The pizza was flooded with toppings: pepperoni, sausage, beef, bacon and ham. It was very well balanced. Also, the cheese was full yet delicate. The pizza sauce was fresh with a bit of sweet and just a taste of oregano and basil. The wings were crispy and seasoned pretty good. The sauce did not cover each wing so I shook the wings up a little and it made all the difference. They weren't overly spicy but had a good level of heat. ‍ The restaurant needs a little fun added to the ambiance. The decorations had loud colors but were otherwise bland. Nothing screamed fun, industrial or even modern. It has a great space, but it is not appealing. The pizza quality is there with great flavor, but I was missing the fun pizza dine-in experience. Finally, the website wasn't working and there was not a menu posted so it was hard to know what to order. Overall 3/5 Food 4/5 Service 3/5 Atmosphere 1/5 read more

Being from New Orleans, I was excited to try the hot sausage pizza here. The pizza was good. The crust was great. Not too thick and not too thin. I ordered the hot sausage pizza.I only wished it had more hot sausage on it. So the next time I go here, I ask for extra hot sausage. It is definitely worth giving this business a try. read more

Wonderful pizza and service!!! The food is fresh and the service is friendly. We'll never eat Dominos again!

Those wings are well seasoned and fried crispy. You can taste that lemon in the lemon pepper wings. The pizza awesome, the sauce not to pastee and the crust light. My new wing and pizza place. read more

Y'all, I'm not even supposed to be eating pizza (lactose intolerant people unite lol) BUT when I'm craving and just can't help myself, I go straight to Pepperoni Ray's. Their pizza is delicious, like fresh ingredients, steaming hot, made to order and it tastes the good the next day too! Their employees are always very kind and the service is on point (quick, efficient). They have limited parking but also street parking and you can dine in too; they have a good amount of tables and a TV and their playlists are good. I usually just order ahead and it doesn't take the to go orders long at all. Highly recommend! read more

The rating says it all. Excellent quality and customer service. So the fam and I visited a couple weeks ago and had a great experience, but I never got around to writing a review. So glad to see Pepperoni Ray's back in the neighborhood. I remember when they first opened about 9 years ago around the time I moved into the area. Ok, enough about me. Customer Service So we went again tonight and the experience was even better. Customer service was excellent. We didn't get her name, but she was very pleasant, knowledgeable and made us feel like family. She said she had only been working there for a couple days. Ray was his cool, professional, "I got this" self as always. We ordered the special of a large three topping pizza and 8 wings. The order came out very fast. We were impressed with the wait time. Food The wings were off the chain. We ordered half sweet inferno and half honey mustard. The wings were well-seasoned and crispy and big and, of course, very tasty. We also ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni, ham, and Italian sausage. We really like the sauce and crust. The tomato sauce is on the sweet side. I could taste some herbs. The crust was chewy and had a nice bite. The meats had good flavor, but I think the sausage was my favorite. I have to give a shoutout to the fountain coke. I really like it when my coke is sweet and has less carbonation than a typical can coke. More like a bottle coke. Anyway, it was refreshing. Their hours are family friendly as they close at 9:00. They offer delivery via Waitr and Uber Eats. From two weeks ago: Last time we also ordered the crawfish bread. I don't really like crawfish (mainly got it for the family), but this was pretty good. The bread was buttery, melt-in-your soft, and had some herbs. I would've enjoyed it more without the crawfish. Can't wait to try the ultimate cheesy bread, which sounds more my speed. read more

Pepperoni Ray's wings always hit the spot. The sauces are very flavorful. I always order my wings extra crispy and am never disappointed. The pizza topping are always fresh and plentiful. I like too many of the speciality pizzas to name. The small 2 topping pizza and 5 wing deal is a steal. Although they specialize in pizzas and wings, the salads are great! I really like the grated mozzarella cheese and the large sizes. You can't go wrong when you order anything on their menu! read more
