This pizza is not really good. It was super greasy and the cheese tasted funny! I was told this place was the place to go for good pizza in Scottsdale but obviously they were mistaken. At least the staff were nice. read more

We heard the pizza was good and we were willing to try it UNTIL we called for delivery... in order to do delivery, you have to order through a 3rd person. WHAT? When I order I either order direct from the business or not at all, so it was not at all, how do I know who this 3rd party person is? Sorry Ray's, you missed out. read more

The owner should be embarrassed. I go in there at 9 pm and order wings and pizza. You can see the kitchen is shut down. The guy takes left over wings and tosses sauce on and puts in oven. The were bones! Pizza ok, then the guy mopping under my feet while I am trying to eat. Place still open and floors are soaking wet, looking for a lawsuit if someone slips. Close at 8 if employees want to go home that bad! I used to like that place, but no more. read more

Before we discuss the food: BE AWARE that if ordering online, there is a $1.50 "transaction fee" AND a 3.5% "processing fee". Now for the food: as we stepped inside the first thing I noticed was Ray's had the proper Italian restaurant aroma and we were greeted with a warm smile. Our food was ready at the promised time and the salads were packed separately and kept refrigerated. The lasagna and manicotti were certainly not the best, but my husband and I have definitely had worse. The lasagna noodles were a bit on the thin side, as seems to be the current trend and I definitely prefer the old school thicker noodle. The lasagna portion size and meat sauce were generous (enough for leftovers) but the sauce seemed to be missing a little something. The manicotti portion size and sauce were also generous (once again enough for leftovers) however, per my husband, the filling was virtually tasteless. The antipasto and garlic bread were the stars of the night! The salad was very fresh with lots of goodies and the vinaigrette and croutons were excellent. The garlic bread was yummy, garlic-y and buttery without being too greasy. Both the lasagna and manicotti improved after sitting overnight and being reheated in a low temp conventional oven. They made for a delicious dinner the next evening. We will definitely try Ray's again, this time for a pizza or calzones. Who knows, maybe both. read more

Blown away by these guys I literally work next door and always get food there cause it's close. It is by far the best pizza and baked ziti I've ever had always take care of me! I highly highly recommend these guys over any of the other rays ;) read more

This is THE place for new york style street side pizza. If you're lucky it'll even comes with couple of insults like - waas the matter with you, just one slice of pizza!! Anyway, I'll take em any time. Good place & with great pizza. read more

First off I am a regular go pretty much every Sunday for a slice. It's good Pizza no doubt. My only issue is the price. I just ordered a slice of margharita, which granted had 4 or 5 pieces of basil and sliced tomatoe but it was $4.48. Waaaaaayyyy overpriced for a slice of Pizza. read more

Not the Rays I expected even though they claim to be from the New York Rays after yelling it to me...not by a long shot!

Normally I'd give a positive review. However, today is a bit different. I was the only customer in line, and the place didn't have close to 1/4 of the tables filled with customers. The order taking pizza guy grabbed a fresh hot pizza out of the oven to set out under their warming lamps. Each half of the pizza contained the exact ingredients I wanted for lunch. I asked to have one slice from each side of that nice hot pizza he just took out of the oven, he looked at me as I spoke, ignored me, and proceeded to give slices that had been sitting under the warming lamps for ....? I told the cashier lady and the manager who was standing right there, all the manager had to say was "Oh don't worry all that pizza is fresh, I guarantee it". Clearly, not one of the 3 staff members cared about what I wanted, only in pushing old pizza product from the warming lights and not the fresh pizza that was just made! I reluctantly ate the slices given to me only because of time. I mentioned to the cashier and the manager on the way out that next time they should probably give their customer the slices they asked for that were fresh out of the oven rather than giving them warmed up slices that were not really warmed up, YUCK!! It made me feel like a poor college student all over again. Which is not the expectation I had for this place. So much for the manager's "Guarantee". Ray's Pizza- you just lost a customer for life! read more

Ray's.. the ubiquitous Ray's.. of NYC Fame.. ha.. definitely playing off a famous name.. Figured we would try it.. Very pleasantly surprised it lived up to it's name.. Stopped in with my wife Donna for a slice before a movie.. Wow.. great pizza.. Thin Crust,, I couldn't finish 2 slices of "monster" loaded.. my wife is more traditional with the pepperoni,, fold it in half.. from tip to crust yummy. Probably 10 different kinds of slices to choose from ready to go. My wife, the pizza aficionado of our family had us go there two nights in a row.. that is a serious pizza jones.. Even Sicilian Squares.. Lots of other choices too.. just liked the pizza. I like the layout of the place with the pies under glass countertops.. the tables and tv's, even the semi circular "bar" for the quick bite.. You can get take and bake pizza's.. go figure. really good pizza. we'll have to the other dishes sometimes.. read more

I had the $6 Slice/Salad/Drink special and I left completely satisfied. Nice people, too. I used to live in NY and the pizza was just as good right here. read more

Great wings, pizza & calzone. Goes well with beer. We tried the garlic knots today & they're good too. This is one of our favorite Fri haunts. Try a canole sometime. Quite delicious. This is a nice cozy little mom n pop Italian place. Hope they do well & stay in business for a long time. read more

Ray's is really good pizza. I am italian and my dad is from central italy so I have high standards for pizza, and ray's is definitely legit.

Services is horrible. Never welcoming when you walk in. Wings and pizza were not fresh what so ever.

I have ate at Rays a few times and each time I am not super impressed. It's know as a Scottsdale "landmark" and a pizza place that everyone loves but frankly I don't think their pizza is all that it's cracked out to be. I will admit that the size of slices are really nice and the flavor is pretty good. However it seems like the pizza's are never cooked enough so the cheese isn't fully melted and it's still pretty doughy. The worst part is the amount of grease on each pizza. The slices are so soggy because of the grease that when you go to take a bite all the cheese and toppings slid off and grease drips all over you. You need at least two napkins to dab off the grease before even attempting to eat a slice. Not a good idea if you are on a lunch break and don't have time to go home and change. Basically Rays is a place where I'll eat if I have to but I wouldn't chose to eat there on my own. read more

I called tonight to order pizza, and was disappointed by the poor service. They didn't take me seriously on the phone and were very rude. Upon entering the establishment the (I assume) manager gave us a dirty look. He was short and didn't follow up on my order, therefore completely forgetting one item. When he handed us our food, he slapped the cheesecake down, upside down. My cheesecake is smooshed and my crust undercooked. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

Can't go wrong here, excellent every time! Great pizza, keep up the good work.

Best pizza within 2,000 miles. I've had pizza in NY hundreds of times and this place is the best i've had outside the NY metro area. They've managed to do thin crust, yet don't skimp on the cheese. And the mozzarella is high-quality and melts in your mouth - not the consistency of rubber. Sauce is great too. Please open a SE valley location! read more

I've been here a few times now and have had a great experience every time!!! I can only base this review on the pizza because I haven't tried anything else. The employees have been friendly every time and the place is always clean. Hard to find a place that makes Sicilian pizza out here and even harder to find a place that makes it good. I get 2 slices every time I go, 1 regular and 1 Sicilian, and they are always MMM MMMM GOOOOOOD!!! Thanks for bringing me back to NY even if it's only for the few minutes that it takes me to eat my slices. read more

WOW! Real NY Pizza in the Desert! Definitely a place to take all of the family for good food and good company. Had the large pepperoni pie and a side mild hot wings--all of which was cooked to perfection. You won't be disappointed. read more

Casual restaurant with TVs on the walls and self serve. They have a special for 2 cheese slices and a drink which is what I order. Slices are already partially cooked so they go in the oven for a few minutes and come out hot with a fairly thin, crispy crust. Plenty of cheese. The decor is a bit outdated, fabric booths that show some stains, painted walls that show some wear. But it feels cozy. read more

This place is absolute crap. The pizza slices are way too expensive, the taste is incredibly bland, and while I can appreciate little feisty Italian pizza makers as much as the next guy, their service sucks. Two really bad, overcooked slices and a small soda: $8.75. You've got to be f'ing kidding me. Go to Nello's where the pizza is 100x better and the service is much better. read more

I'm from Queens, NY - I grew up eating excellent pizza and this is the best in the valley! No joke! I now live in Glendale and have to drive 45 minutes just to silence the voices in my head. You should know that all the rays pizzas places are independently owned and NOT created equal; I've tried them all and this is the best one by far (and the most expensive - but you won't care). Literally the best pizza in the valley. read more

This place is terrible. Customer service is terrible here. I don't know how this location kept going in Scottsdale. Angry and rude employees. The girls I believe are the owners daughters and always have an attitude when the order is wrong. The food is a bit overpriced. Cheese drips in grease enough to give a regular customer a heart attack if eaten too often. The salads aren't consistent with it being fresh one day and brownish and old another. The slices sit there for hours by the looks of it and are reheated. Not fresh. The food taste different maybe because they changed their ingredients or from the different people that make it, I don't know. I wont come back. I am sure there are healthier, tastier, and customer friendly pizza shops out there. No thanks, i'll pass. read more

just got the same pizza girls there were super friendly!! and as usual pizza is amazing!! large meatball and pep!!

I have always been a huge fan of Rays and recommended the establishment to others looking for close to authentic NY pizza but my experience with them on March 3, Sunday, has changed my mind. We called about 15min before they closed (kind of a dick move, but they were "technically" still open). Service was fine. We ordered a medium white pizza and a plain calzone. When we brought it home (a 5min drive) it was cold. No biggie though, just stuck it in the oven for a couple minutes. Once we took a bite into it though.... UGH!!! The dough was so tough it seemed that it had been sitting out for hours. I get it that we were probably one of the last orders of the night but this was worse than cafeteria pizza that had been sitting out through 3 lunch periods. Its unfortunate that this happened at one of my favorite spots, but I wont be returning. Head to POMO if youre in the North Scottsdale area. MUCH better and MUCH more fresh pizza! read more

Despite the pizza being mediocre (I am a NYer who has actually eaten the REAL Ray's Pizza), I have eaten here once-twice a month. A friend and I who were nearby one night, decided to go for a snack. We get there about 9pm and try to order 2 cheese slices. The owner proceeds to tell us we can only order what is left of their day. Not much left so we order a sicilian cheese and pepperoni slice. I thought it was a little strange as the guy behind the counter was putting a cheese pie in the oven but I assumed it was a last minute take out order and it was being picked up. Our old slices went into the oven under the new pie and we sat down to wait. At least 10 minutes go by and I suddenly notice the fresh pie is being taken out and put behind the counter to be sold as slices! Other customers came in and they were served the fresh pie! We waited and waited and finally the owner notices us and reaches in and pulls out our old slices that are now burnt (black crust underneath and edges). When I refuse to take the slices the owner says, "no they are perfect". He finally relents and gives me one fresh cheese slice and an old and cold sicilian slice! No apologies or explanations for telling us we could only order the leftovers! Obviously he just wanted to make sure he sold the old food and made some sort of profit for the day. Might as well sell it to someone who willprobably come back rather than chance the old stuff with some one new! Needless to say, I will NOT return. I had put up with the so-so pizza because I figured it was the best I could get close to home and would just ignore the bad service (they yell out the orders so you go pick them up yourself, better to saty nearby as you can barely understand what the workers are saying). I will go to the NYPD pizza just south of them next to the IHOP on Raintree. read more
