Ray's is just all around the GOAT. Dude at the counter is always nice to everyone, and importantly, knows how to run a business. Delivery is always quick and easy, and the prices are good. The pizza is phenomenal, like, top 3 in the area if not top 1, and i've tried their salads as well and they're decent. Meant to leave a review for this place sooner because I've been here a dozen times and never disappointed. Hope the owner sees this and knows that out of an ocean of NJ Pizzerias, his place is certainly not just a drop of water. read more

Best pizza and subs in the area, tried them all and Rays is good quality and taste and their consistency is on point.

We order from here every week. Every thing we've ever gotten is delicious . The dinners come with a salad (the creamy Italian is excellent). The buffalo shrimp app is the best I've ever had. My son is a very picky eater and only eats chicken fingers from Rays. Highly recommend! read more

They charge you $11 for one tiny (and dry) rice ball cut in half and then they justify it by telling you how expensive ingredients are these days. A real insult to your intelligence. They also need to take "New York" out of the name of the restaurant. ​Trying to draw people to your subpar establishment by acting like you have NY quality pizza ​is an embarrassment. The pizza is a grease pit ​and the ​sauce tastes like Ellio's. The "manager" hung up on me because she ​couldn't handle a dose of reality....nothing but class!! read more

Some people love fast food, I love pizza! This place has been around forever and I always heard such great things. When my daughter was a senior during the pandemic they had an adopt a senior program and the senior I adopted wanted a Ray's pizza because he loved it. Finally I got a chance to try it out. I'm not going to lie it's a bit of a dive but clean.The people are extremely pleasant and it seemed to be a family run business.Straight out of the oven our delicious thin crusted pizza came out and we started to drool just a little. Compared to some thin crust pizza places I would consider this pizza to be medium in crust, they used real cheese because the pizza actually had oil coming off.A bunch of pizza places have got cheap using cheap mozzarella or adding provolone,this place used good cheese! The first slice I had was delicious but after that the second the sauce was a little sweet. I think I devoured my first slice. Overall this pizza place deserves a solid 4!!I would definitely go again. read more

Worst pizza in Manahawkin and they will overcharge you a crazy amount.. Stay away. Use Brazzi, better pizza and not crooks,

4.3/5.0 I had a New York style regular cheese pie at the Manahawkin location and it was very good...@davidportnoy visit worthy. The dough and sauce were tasty at a good ratio. It had a crispy undercarriage and crust with little floppiness in the middle. Will be back if in the area and will try thier LBI locations. read more

We've been ordering from rays for many years this past Sunday we ordered 2 cheesesteaks , neither one was correct but we could overlook this on a busy Sunday night . What we couldn't overlook was beef that was so dry it appeared to have been sitting on the grill for days . We've spent a lot of money at rays but we will rethink going back . read more

Best pizza. Hands down, not even a contest. Best pizza from Manahawkin to Boston, I'll wager. Quick service, nice place, nicest staff.

Love the food and the prices aren't too bad. Never had any issues. There is only 2 places that deliver to my house and we like them better.

Visiting from New York and this pizza is A++++++ The chicken cutlet salad is aces The disco fries are on of the best I've ever had! If you like a thin crust and sweet sauce then this is your place!!!! read more

Good food. Reasonable pricing for the times. Large menu. Would order again. ///////// read more

The food was 10/10. Best Sicilian pizza and garlic knots around. The one kid that made our food, I think his name was Derrick, was exceptional. He's one of the friendliest workers and had normal conversations with custormer. The lighting was great and the seats were comfortable. Would definitely recommend coming in and chatting it up with the workers. P.S. Ask for Ray's Special Sauce. read more

You will not find better Sicilian anywhere in south jersey. If that's not your jam the regular pizza is banging too.

Always liked Ray's, but won't be returning after reading his political nonsense on the door entering the restaurant. The sign basically said he raised all of his prices and it is Joe Biden's fault... Plenty of other pizza places in town that don't advertise their political views! read more

My family and I ordered a meatball pizza and a half plain/half pepperoni pizza. My favorite was the meatball pizza. It was really good, but a little too greasy for me. read more

I am currently in the hospital, due to dehydration from food poisoning from their food. My husband is down for the count as well. We got sick around the same time. Due to being pregnant I had to come to the hospital because I can't keep anything down. My dr advised me come right to the ER. Thankful my one year old was being fussy and wouldn't eat the take out I ordered last night. I will never ever be ordering from there ever again. read more

Ordered a sausage pizza on a snowy night $25 for pizza taking advantage. Go to Pietros much better value and pizza. Thanks for ripping me off! read more

I really tried hard to appreciate local business, but this is terrible. I've tried over more than 5 times to give them a chance but they are rude and although apologize, it didn't matter because they get the order wrong each time. too bad but I had to order from another store and get the pizza I ordered. sorry not sorry. read more

Delicious pizza! Ordered for the first time tonight and it was great. Will definitely be ordering again and trying out more of the menu!

Last week we got delivery it was 2 full hours to receive delivery. This week I got smart and picked up. I walked in tonight and NOBODY WAS WEARING MASKS. None of the staff and none of the customers at the tables or at the counter paying. The man who took my money had a mask over his chin and put it up to take my money. Too bad. When you finally eat it it's not bad but I won't be back for a while. read more

Amazing pizzeria, they treat everyone like family and have amazing pizza, aside from many other things that they sell guaranteed 5 star.

Yes, going to New Jersey and then ordering "New York Pizza" is an odd decision, but hey, pizza's pizza. Pretty good pizza. Thin crust. Arrived piping hot. No complaints! read more

Pizza was delivered hot and delicious we also ordered mozzarella Stix and a chicken Parm hero. Everything was delicious I will be ordering again. read more

These people have no respect for the current pandemic that is going on. I just got some take out, and posted all over the place are signs to wear masks (expected and appreciated). I walk in to pick up my pizza, not a single staff member is wearing a mask. That is just a blatant disregard for their customer's health and safety. I will not be eating here again and I am going to call the health department. Respect your customers health. Disgusting and awful. read more

Just wanted to thank whoever delivered my food tonight, drives a black Jeep!! Super awesome. Made sure the food didn't get bugs Bc we left a note saying to leave it by the door! Wish I could give more stars. Thank you:) read more

1 hour and 40 mins later and our delivery (3 miles away) finally arrived. I get it it's a Friday night, but I ordered my pizza online at 5:29pm with an estimated delivery of 6:15. So we waited till 6:35 when I called and I spoke to a younger guy on the phone with a poor attitude stating it "will be there in a little while, it's really busy" "and we don't control the online ordering" "that's not through us" well I'm sorry, that's not my problem. When I asked what "a little while" meant I was told 20 more mins and then the food arrived 30 mins later. With an exploded Pepsi soda bottle leaking all over my front porch, we ordered root beer, a burnt Sicilian pizza, and cold mozzarella sticks all for a pricy $30.00. Never ordering from here again! read more

Best pizza , excellent service. We have been a weekly patron for years. The honey hot wings are DELICIOUS! The one time we had a problem, they fixed it immediately and without hesitation ! read more

Just ewww. Order large pizza, cheesesteak egg rolls and antipasto. Pizza was cold and had no taste except for the overpowering sweetness of the sauce. I couldn't describe the taste of the egg rolls. They were just inedible. Antipasto was ok, but again no flavor and dressing was awful. Not to mention outrageously expensive. Save yourself and order from Fusaro's. read more

Place is unreal. Food is the best by far. Delivery service staff. All excellent. I get the penne bolognese every time. Wings great pizza awesome. read more

Very good pizza and sauce is excellent It lives up to its name and a good New York Pizza

I am currently looking at one of Ray's garlic knots. One of them is perched atop a white paper plate over on the other side of the bay in the water. Behind it, a trail of water, buttery garlic and sadness. And oil slick. Worse than the Exxon Valdez oil spill. We sent one out on a paper raft. This is our ceremony. The rest of our garlic knots are up in the vacation house, and I'm not looking forward to returning to the smell. We are 50 yards away on the dock and I think I can already taste them again. Foul. All in all, the pizza and barbecue wings, too, were mediocre. But the man at the counter, might have been Ray himself, was like a pizza Mister Rogers. I would go there again just to see him. He was gentle and full of hope, but my stomach is full of regret. Really, I hope his business succeeds. But I'm hoping that the garlic knot on its white plate will make its way to Ray's shop at last so he can see the sacrifice we made to our bodies. Perhaps by sunset. read more

This is by far my favorite pizza place in South Jersey (and beyond). Great pizza, great wings, and a great antipasto salad. Eat here, you won't regret it. Besides there are always cops eating here at lunchtime. You know if its a cop restaurant its good. read more

I live on mill creek rd. The last four pizzas were cold when I got home. Oven needed! Use to be great.

Great pizza, go here if you like thin crust pizza. Their staff is friendly and their prices are more than reasonable!!

Moved here from NYC and was not too impressed with the local pizza selection. That was until I discovered Rays. Their meatball and sausage pie is amazing. My wife raves over the eggplant parmigiana as well. They do get very busy so order early. read more

This place has had some of the best Italian take out in the area. Reminds me of North Jersey and NYC places Tastes great and has always been fresh. read more

Have a great menu and the people are so welcoming! Their corona prevention has been great and even though the wait time has been moderately long at times, the food never lacks. read more

Cute little pizza shop with adequate service! I came here once and the people We're always smiling and happy to serve! Quite clean and a good place for a quick slice. Makes good thin pizza! read more
