    Pizza was amazing. Place was a little empty, which seemed unsettling, and there was a lot of workers which made the place feel empty. Pizza was kind of expensive and wouldn't recommend the gelato but it's a great experience if you want to eat some good pizza..

    I saw someone post a picture of their pizza on FB & had to try. First time here. Everything was good. The crust of the pizza os one of the best we have had. We tried the classic. It was good. Will definitely try another pizza next time. Loved the wings & ceasar. It is a step up from a hole in the wall. The staff was friendly. Overall good option for pizza & wings.

    To start off, pizza is my favorite food in the whole world, and Ray's is the talk of our dental clinic at UTHSCA. They catered some pizza one night for a group, and the smell of it alone was enriching enough for us to want to come here. Came on a Tuesday night at 5:00PM with 24 people, and there was enough tables and chairs to hold us all. Small resturant, but still enough space for a big dinner with friends. Superrrrr casual inside, with a walk up check out. I love that this is pizza by the slice, allows everyone to order exactly what they want and not have to share with anyone either. Roughly $3-$5 per slice, and it's LARGE. Probably 2 normal slides in 1 of these. I split a medium between 3 people, and it was perfect. Only $14! The cheesecake on display looked beautiful and I wish I got one. I got Gelato instead, and wish I could dock half a star just for the price of this gelato. $5.40 for the tiniest scoop, but again i know ice cream/gelato anywhere is gonna run a higher price when you get it like this. Quick, easy place to stop in and eat!

    Staff is friendly, food is nothing to write home about.. I've seen many reviews about the workers being young and rude but I had a great experience. They were quick & friendly and I am just glad my experience was like that rather than some of these stories lol The mozzarella sticks were probably my favorite part. The meat lovers Stromboli was suuuuper greasy like I totally understand pepperoni and sausage have oil but underneath was like a pile of grease and it made my stomach a little uneasy. However, it was huge but the size doesn't really matter when you're not going to eat it anymore... The chicken parm was interesting. Not a cutlet but more like a chicken tender. We were wondering why all the oregano on top because it was a bit overkill -- My bf ate it but we had the same consensus that this sauce is what's lacking. It barely has any flavor unfortunately and it is in most of the dishes we tried.

    My fav pizza place! This place has the best pizza for the best prices. (If I want expensive I'm going to Dough's) NY style, thin but very large slices and tastes delicious. Chicken bites are also great. The sandwiches are good (homemade bread ) and fries are great too Great seating area, can always bring a ton of friends. Food ALWAYS tastes great and service is good. Side note- these sell cheesecake slices for $6/ piece and they are delicious. Turtle is my fav. Not sure who bakes them and brings them in to sell in their cases but they are really good.

     a slice of pizza and a salad
    Mari A.

    Hands down the BEST NY style pizza place. I order my slice well done all the time, I love that charred crust. I'm glad they offer the combo daily. Aside from the delicious food, there's the mediocre service. It reminds me of the same service and attitude you would get in NYC. I'm still coming back! Come check them out for yourself!

    Came by to celebrate my moms birthday and wasn't disappointed. We ordered several salads, three pizzas, lasagna, and some Spaghetti . Everything was perfect! Pizza was tasty and hot and the salads were so crisp and fresh! I can't wait to go back!

    Calzone looks like a cookie.
    Christine P.

    I am so deeply disappointed in the food i received to night. I have been coming here for years and cannot believe the food this evening. Calzone is hard and thin. Wings were so greasy. The calzone was old and chewy. What happened!

    I am VERY happy I ignored the yelp reviews and paid attention to the photos. When I first saw the photos I got my hopes up and guess what, Ray's did not disappoint! Is this pizza really 5/5 stars? No...it's more 4/5, BUT... considering there are slim pickings in San Antonio for AUTHENTIC NY Style pizza I just had to give Ray's a bump in rating for standing out. I gotta give credit where credit is due. Most of the bad reviews were geared toward the customer service. I didn't have a bad experience here. Just feed me. Fun fact: I learned that people in Texas are not used to the flavor of NY Style pizza dough. NY Style pizza dough is fermented in the fridge for 1-3 days. That process is what gives the pizza dough that yeasty/doughy flavor. It's a very distinct flavor and I've learned that some people don't like that flavor (sacrilegious lol). Hence lovers of Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's exist. Anyway...Ray's NAILED the dough flavor. It was there. The texture was spot on as well. I prefer a very tomatoey pizza sauce. The sauce here was good, not amazing, but for sure solid. Ray's is the most authentic NY Style Pizza I have had since living in SA. I've tried Yaghi's, Goomba's, 46th street, and Sapore's. I'd order a pie again from Ray's because it brought me back to the corner store pizzerias I grew up with. Very nostalgic. Very authentic. You want something close to NY Style pizza without being in NY? Head to Ray's. I still have a few more pizzeria's to try out, but right now Ray's takes the cake! Enjoy!

    Boneless 10 Piece Single Order Wings
    Peyton G.

    Every single dish I have had from here was a banger! Most recently I had the boneless wings with buffalo and fries. I would go so far as to say better than Wing stop. All my food was hot and fresh. I've also had the Pizza and Ravioli and both were good. I also appreciate their side salads come with assorted toppings, not just a plate of lettuce.

    Sausage penne
    Lora D.

    Wow oh Wow! So horrid day when so many things went wrong. I stopped in at Ray's on the way home, but still had stops along the way. It's great that they used the metal bowl with the cardboard top. It was easily almost an hour before I got to eat this dish...but still quite warm which you can't say for the foam to go containers. I was just bowled over with my first bite of penne sausage. I mean most places say authentic Italian but they are usually a pale imitation of the Italian I grew up on, East Coast, Jersey/ NY Italian. This packed a real WOW! If I closed my eyes I was back eating from a neighbor's Italian grandmother. The sauce, the sausage, the spices...OMG just perfection for me. Loved the bread but not as much as that dish. So why only a three? They gave me the wrong salad...a Caesar salad instead of the garden with blue cheese. The inside while very clean doesn't make me want to linger. The main dish was definitely a five. I also had a gelato which I enjoyed very much. Great selection of gelatos...sorry that photo didn't turn out. If I lived closer I'd be there a lot. So if to go is your game or you don't care about the furniture I highly recommend it. Very easy for handicapped...parking in front and door easy to enter.

    Don't sleep on Ray's! While it looks like a small hole in the wall restaurant from the outside, when you try the pizza - you'll see why they're always so busy. Lunch specials are a great deal and there's multiple combo options to choose from. Pizza slices are HUGE and delicious! (So good I took a bite before the photo!)

    So let me preface this review with this...if you have ever been to Detroit there is a famous…read moreDetroit style pizza place called Buddys (or at least this is what I was told, I'm not from there lol)...we went to Detroit for an event and had buddys, we had the Detroiter and a Cesar salad and it was great, top 5 in my opinion of pizza I've ever eaten and that's saying a lot being from NY. Fast forward to my visit to Via 313 also a Detroit establishment serving pizza...and let me just say!! It is a must go!! The pizza was amazing (we had the detroiter again) and also the Cesar salad...our friends also had other various pizzas and they all highly enjoyed it. The service was awesome and the restaurant is clean and has a cool ambiance. It was my birthday so they gave me free cinnamon sticks with a cream cheese icing...Sooooo good!! Def a 5 star experience! You have to check them out

    I was confused by the service the night we came in…read more The pizza was perfect, as usual. The Detroiter is crispy, chewy, buttery, and all the delicious things rolled into this pillowy goodness. We ordered the arugula salad with goat cheese, they being it the salad and say they were out of goat cheese, and I was okay with it. Then they come back and say, we did have gorgonzola. I was confused. So they put down the cheese and it's goat cheese. Anyway, the salad was incredible, but let's be real, the goat cheese makes ALL the difference. They were also out of my man's go-tos on tap. Which was a slight bummer for him. Service is always friendly and the restaurant is very cool, like escape the heat cool, with a chill vibe. I still love the heck out of this pizza!
