This is one of our favorite pizza places in town! I feel like this is the closest you will get to an authentic NY style pizza! Best cheese pizza! I wish their ranch dressing was a bit better tho, that's not so authentic and they charge you 50 cents for it... Overall, totally recommend it! Great family environment! read more

Came here for lunch and got two slices of pizza and it was amazing. Their thin crust pizza has the perfect sauce to cheese to crust ratio. The pricing is also amazing I got 4 slices of pizza and 2 fountain drinks and it was a total of $14. I will certainly be coming back! read more

Truthfully this place is more like a 3.5 in terms of pizza. You get that east coast slice and a really good crust but not enough flavor. Also pizza is a little too well done(can't get that pizza fold because of this!) I strictly base my reviews off of cheese pizza only. Mostly clean Fans blowing regardless of temperature outside Decent staff Oregano read more

To say I was excited to see a Ray's out here for the first time would be an understatement. It's not as good as the Ray's in Manhattan, but it's damn close enough for me. I love these "pizza-by -the-slice joints. I hate when I'm craving pizza, but I don't want a whole pizza. So it's a good place for lunch, or to grab a quick slice if pizza. Fair prices and it's run by some real New Yorkers. Tip- go with the freshest looking pizza read more

I think I'm gonna stick with the 7th st location. First off, very typical of a Scottsdale location where the same special they have at 7th Street is $3 more at this location and I think the pizza at the other location is better as well. Also when I go to Ray's New York style pizza I usually expect to see some New York Italian Guys and at this location I am not getting any of that. No offense to the people working there but I just didn't get the good vibe that I used to from this place where I used to go quite often when I work in the area read more

What a fantastic find - I can't believe how many times I passed this place by... I have been here three times in two weeks now. The slices are perfect for lunch (one is plenty) - they also have great salad/pizza lunch combos, etc... I will be by for dinner and get my own pie soon. read more

Like many of the other reviewers I've passed by Ray's on many occasions. Today we were headed for Wildflower Bread but as usual their dining room was packed. My partner was starving and it was too chilly to sit outside so he suggested Ray's. I reluctantly agreed. He ordered Eggplant Parmesan and I had two slices. The eggplant seemed to take an eternity, but it was a HUGE order with a side of spaghetti. The slices were just okay. A little greasy for my taste and the tomato/spinach included canned spinach, not very pleasing to the palate. For some this might be just the ticket, but I doubt I will be back. Too many other good choices (Rendendo's: http://www.yelp.com/biz/redendos-pizzeria-ristorante-scottsdale) right near by. read more

Ray's has been a staple in my diet since my father discovered it in the late 90's. I will and do drive 23 miles from my house for the best pizza in AZ. When I order a pie, I'll order it with extra sauce, light on the cheese with a crispy bottom, but then again, I am from NY. When I go to get a slice, it is tasy, although a little bit heavy on the cheese for me, but a Zoni's dream. I love the spinach and tomato slice. Warning for vegetarians... they have chnages their pasta sauce to incllude sausage. Not my cup of tea in the slightest. I'll stick with the pizza. read more

Delicious overpriced pizza (when ordered by the slice) I can't offer an opinion on a whole pie until I buy one. Money isn't everything but $9.01 isn't my idea of a lunch special. I'll have to stick to Barros for my lunch pizza fix. No hard feelings Ray. read more

Ray's Pizza - I look at my receipt and wonder, "this is all I get for $9.01?" - Pizza Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Driving around looking for pizza, came across this place. The by the slice options weren't fantastic although to the stores defense it is later on a Sunday night. I must say the people working the register, I'm thinking the owner? Was very very grumpy. I had a question but could hardly imagine having asked it since he looked like he would ask me to leave if I didn't do what I supposed to. Pay and walk away. The pizza, very over priced for by the slice and was - even though heated up again in the oven very soggy, greasy and lifeless in the flavor department. Hey you never know until you try it right? Skipping in the future, not really any reasons to come back other than convenient hours. read more

Picked up two pies for a Superbowl party. Should have gotten three, they were gone too fast. Great flavor with the perfect amount of sauce. A chewy crust that is begging for the fold-over....NY style. Wish they deliver, but even so, the best traditional pizza I have found in the desert. Even better is to stop in for a slice. When they reheat the slices they get and even better finish on the crust. read more

Ray's has great pizza. I was born and raised on Brooklyn... so I think I an say safely that I know what a "Ray's" pizza should be like. And this place is pretty close. I am NOT a fan of their chicken wings... sorry. I HATE chicken wings that sit on an inch of the wing sauce. I know some people do like it that way... I do not. Redendo's (down the street) has way better (crispy) wings. Ray's does have a great variety of gourmet style pizza. Most is available in "slice" format. The prices are reasonable... if leaning towards the expensive side. I like the pizza in the "window"... very reminiscent of my NYC days. read more

Grabbed a couple slices from here for lunch. I went in a little before 2pm and it was very quiet (yet all the parking in the front of the place was taken...) Employees were courteous, service was quick. But 8 bucks for 2 slices that have been under a heating lamp? Don't get me wrong, the slices were yummy but gourmet this is not. read more

Great pizza, and even better customer service. Pizza by the slice, more toppings no problem, don't forget the cannoli to top it off

The Food: I ordered the 1-slice of pizza and a salad special for $7.25-ish. The pepperoni pizza was good and the salad was decent sized and tasty as well. The Price: In a fast food world that has created a standard of a "meal-deal," I thought Ray's was deceptive. Here's why: The real deal was actually: 1-slice of cheese pizza (any topping is an add-on, which was not posted or not very visible)) and the drink was an additional $.75 (which was posted). In the end, it was $9.25-ish for the "Special" Overall it was good but the pricing is somewhat deceptive. Suggestion: I would post all specials with the price of the drink included and have an option of at least one free topping on any pizza deal. read more

My girlfriend and I went to check this place out, mind you I'm asian and she is half-irish/half-jamacian. We were given the coldest look when we came in. Ordered a large square pan, was given a 35 minute wait, and a hour later no pizza because we found out another group who ordered the same thing was given the pizza we ordered. BULLSHIT, that is some racist ass stuff. So he instead gave us a medium sized pan and refunded us the difference. In the end pizza was bland and cheaply made. Waste of time and money. Will NEVER come back! RATING: GARBAGE! read more

I'm new to the area and I've been trying desperately to find a great pizza place. I hadn't had any luck until I tried Ray's. I walked in and placed an order to go for a whole pie with mushrooms. The employees were all friendly, and the restaurant was clean. About 10 - 15 minutes later, I walked out with a piping hot pie that turned out to be the most delicious pizza I've had since I moved here a few months ago. The crust was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. The cheese was ample and greasy (in the best way possible) and it had just the right amount of sauce. I have to dock them a star though because they use canned mushrooms. They're edible, but I really believe mushrooms on a pizza need to be fresh. If they had been, this would have been the most perfect pizza I've ever eaten. Ray's has a new customer. read more

Is it the Ray's from New York? Doubtful. That being said, and for who anyone who knows anything about New York Pizza IN New York, there are a thousand "Ray's" and "Famous Ray's" and the like, and this could very well be one of them. It's not the most amazing pizza I've ever had, but it's far from the worst too. Pizza is such a subjective thing these days, and I truly feel that people have been too hard on this place. Its really good New York style pizza. That sentence should tell you everything you need to know about the place. If that's not good enough for you, ok...then here's some more you should know: The pizza is damn good, the service is damn good, and the prices are fair. Other than that, its pizza, ok? Good pizza. If I lived in the area, it would probably be my go-to for delivery (if they offer that, I don't remember). We live in AZ, people. Great NY pizza is hard to find, and this is some of the better stuff around. read more

Simply put--awesome. Awesome pizza, service and price. I could not have left happier or more satisfied. Had a lovely conversation while we were there with the staff and they are so down to earth with the NY accent to boot. Not sure how they managed to get to The Valley of the Sun but I'm glad they did. read more

Service is horrible and the wings are ehh... But Geee Wizzz it's the best Alfredo pizza by the slice I have ever had!! Only order food Togo... The arguing or employees isn't pleasant to hear but hey, the Alfredo pizza is! read more

Ray's Pizza Scottsdale's quality has gone extremely downhill. I have been a returning Ray's Scottsdale customer for 18 years, which is why I'm so disappointed about how bad their food and service has become. Ray's prices have gone up while their food quality and service has gone down. It's OK to raise your prices to keep up with inflation and market conditions, but it's not OK to raise your prices and lower your quality and expect customer not to complain. My most recent experience was so bad I felt compelled to write this review. They got my order wrong and the owner/manager was so rude and combative, he would not listen to my complaint and just talked over me. He refused to make my order right and the food quality was just terrible. The pizza was not good with hard, tough crust and their wings tasted like they were fried in old, unchanged oil. Really disgusting. Do not waste your time or money on this location. This is not authentic New York style pizza and the owner is rude and does not deserve your business. Trust the other bad reviews. This is not the Ray's Pizza you remember. read more

Owner has anger management. period. He is nasty to customers and even nastier to employees. Pizza is good. Wings are good. Owner is not good. repeat OWNER IS NOT good. read more

Their food is decent but they are the rudest people. Every time I have dealt with them they have the biggest attitude and act like you are annoying them whenever you ask them anything. Today I called to ask a simple question because I have an allergy, the guy that answered was extremely frustrated, yelled at me and then hung up. I'm so grateful I have found another place that is better then theirs so I do not have to deal with their horrible customer service anymore! I do not recommend going here. Their food is not worth their customer service. read more

Excellent pizza, and I was grateful they were open on Thanksgiving night. A New York staple right here in Scottsdale.

The restaurant is fantastic. It's New York/New Jersey pizza done right in Arizona. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the proprietor is downright rude. If the food wasn't delicious, I wouldn't return. read more

Wow' I love a thin crust pizza and this is great stuff. Always hot and fresh daily. By the slice is a great fast lunch any day of the week! Try the Chicken Alfredo! Delish! read more

If I know one thing it's pizza. I've tried them all from Chicago to NY to Italy and hands down this is the best pie I've EVER had. Just the smell of the pizza when you walk in will make your mouth start to water. There is the right amount of cheese throughout each slice and they don't hold back on the toppings. In order to make a great pizza pie you have to make it with love and their staff loves what they do. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, it made me feel like I was apart of the Rays family. read more

I ordered some food online, recieved an order confirmation via email. When my husband went to pick it up they hadn't received the order. So he placed the order again. Instead of giving us a discount for their mistake, they offered my husband a free drink. He chose the green tea. He took a sip and immediately spit the tea out because it tasted like mold. Im sure the spout for the tea isnt being cleaned properly which is causing the tea to taste bad. The food itself wasnt good. There was too much cheese that the toppings were falling off. There were too many jalapenos. And the crust was burned...it ruined the flavor. This is the first and last time we will order from this place. read more

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. 3 for the pizza, it's not fantastic. Maybe it's because I prefer Brick Oven style pizzas, but these pizzas lack flavor. I've been here on a couple different occasions and left unimpressed both times. But, the service is 5 stars without a doubt. They're super friendly, will strike up a conversation with anyone, about anything. From the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave the staff here is wonderful. read more

Ordered a pepperoni n wings for pickup. When I got home realized they gave me the wrong order. Called the restaurant and explained the situation and the owner yelled at me like a psycho, no, no this is your fault. You ordered sausage and then hung up the phone. I called back and asked him to make it right, just make a pepperoni and I'll pick it up. No He screams at me, screams. I'm calmly talking and he is screaming and then tells me he doesn't give a sh*t if I give him a bad review. "you think that bothers me? You think I lose business? Go somewhere else". The "man" who answered the phone at 6:20pm on 4 of July has zero business working with people Or even being apart of general society. he seriously was a gross representation of a human being and no I won't ever be ordering from Rays ever again. read more

Been coming here for years! Best NY style pizza in the valley. Nice friendly staff and they are open later than most! They have gluten free pizza now too and it's delicious! read more

I love Ray's pizza. That said I can only give it three stars, here's why: the service is spotted, the pizza - while always above average (for an AZ pizza joint) - can be fairly inconsistent, and most of the gripes written up in other reviews are pretty much true. However, I love Ray's in spite of all those short comings. Adjust your expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's a fact that Ray's is a little bit more $$ than the crappy cardboard flavorless pizza slices from most non-NY competitors, the Greek staff can be temperamental, and the three or four topping varieties offered don't always cover *Every* possible way pizza can be topped. If it's at it's best, it's by far the best slice in the valley. read more

I think Ray's has very good pizza as far as Ny style pizza goes. I'm surprised that the reviews are so inconsistent. I think when you compare pizza from different restaurants, you have to compare cheese to cheese. Forget the meats, etc. . Pizza should be judged on just the crust, sauce, and cheese. Ray's makes a great slice. Crust is perfect. Crispness on bottom and I can still do the NY foldover. I'd recommend this place for a traditional slice. Note: It's always been very clean when I'm there and I like that there's plenty of seating. My kids enjoy the sports channels. read more

I don't get it. I ordered a couple of slices of veggie pizza. It was loaded with fresh veggies and I love that, but the overall taste of the pizza was just OK. This pizza must be eaten immediately, the leftover slice 2 hours later made me wanna cry. I only ate half of it and sadly threw it out! I spent way to much money for bad pizza. read more

I'm not disappointed with Ray's Pizza, I'm just not all that impressed either. It probably doesn't help that when it comes to the battle of New York vs Chicago pizza, I'm Chicago all the way. Ray's pizza is quite cheesy, the crust is very crunchy. $2.50 for a generously cut slice (that's for cheese, toppings are extra) isn't too steep. I had a slice of cheese and a slice of Pesto. Both were good, just not anything amazing. I can't say I've ever been to THE Ray's Pizza in New York (or any of the infinite number of other places in New York also called Ray's), so I can't compare if this is anything like the real New York pie. There's nothing wrong with Ray's Pizza. I just wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again. read more

This is what Pizza should taste like! Huge Slices of piping hot flavorful pizza! Also they have Arizona tea on the fountain, Nice!

I'm sorry, but my co- Yelpers who give this place 5Stars must have weird pizza place standards. I'm especially surprised by New Yorkers who even consider this place ok. Their bad attitude would be acceptable if the product backed it up. Pizza falls apart. Often slices have been out for hours. Way overpriced. 1 slice and can of soda $6.14. Too bad it was a different price a few days earlier. Feels like it's covered in a layer of dirt and I want to shower after being there. read more

We were not impressed by the pizza (lacked flavor) or the service at this restaurant. The staff did not have masks or gloves. There was Pepsi signage in the restaurant and so I ordered a soda. When I got to the soda fountain it offered RC cola, not Pepsi. :( As we ate another couple seated at a table in the nearly empty restaurant left. I watched to see how the staff would clean it and see if it would be disinfected. However, it had not been cleaned off at all by the time we left. The half eaten food, napkins, etc were still sitting there while the owner sat down and watched TV. I would not go here again due to food quality and low confidence on cleanliness in the time of COVID-19. read more

Ray's Pizza is a little restaurant where you seat yourself and order at the counter. The man who I assume must be Ray speaks with a heavy Italian accent and is a little feisty. If you aren't listening when he calls out your pizza order, he just may give it to someone else and make you wait while another order is cooked up for you. Kinda funny. But the pizza is worth the wait. It's delicious. You can order by the slice and they're huge. A slice of cheese pizza is only $2 and their specialty slices are a little more. You can also buy whole pizzas, pasta and cannolis. I will definitely be back. read more
