Ray's Pizza

Finally had a chance to swing by with my family last night. I've seen people talk about Ray's in a FB pizza enthusiast group and the pics looked great. Being from Massachusetts, I'm always on the lookout for a good pizza, and Ray's did not disappoint! Great crust, perfect amount of cheese, and the large pizza is huge - the three of us were only able to eat half! Probably the best part though was that the staff were friendly and welcoming. Their boxes say "where you are treated like family" and they really do live up to that! That and the atmosphere really nails the feeling of an honest, family-run pizza shop in the Northeast. I'll jump at the chance to go here again!

Showed up at this location late night and was welcomed with cheerful and positive greetings. The atmosphere was quiet because it was so late, nonetheless they politely took our order and quickly made it to our specific desire. It was Fantastic. Great food , great workers. Excellent all around.

The overall experience of this place was a 10/10 the pepperoni pizza and the cheese bread we got were so good and the customer service was also great. Zero complaints here will be back!!

Their pizza is amazing. Wings are crispy, made to order and I love their sauces. However, what stands out the most for me is the service, always top notch. Super friendly staff, acomodating and cordial. I'd love it if they had a better ranch dressing, that's it, the only thing I'd change but that's just my preference.

Love this location. Been going there for years and they always do such a great job. Stop by and have a slice! The crew and family atmosphere always draw me back. This is the pizza joint you want near your home. LOVE YOU RAYS PIZZA !!!!

Brought an out of town guest here and we absolutely loved the extra crispy wings. They actually coat them in enough sauce. The pizza was terrific, quality toppings and generous serving size. And can we talk about how good the crust is! Soft and doughy in the middle of the pizza but crunchy on the edges. Superb! Everyone here was really nice, amazing customer service. And as our friend remarked, all the chefs or guys in the back were handsome too. Win win, lol. Great job to Ray's, go here over the chain places. You'll love it

My family and I live very close to this location, and I have to say this is top-notch pizza food and what an environment for the neighborhood. This can be pricey, especially when it comes to a family outing. However, it is well worth the money a good deal of the time. The owner and staff are extremely courteous and will take care of you to the fullest extent of their Ability. The pizza is amazing. It tastes so fresh, crispy, and Every topping tastes fresh like they had it in store and prepared it specifically for your pizza, but it doesn’t stop there. Their Italian food is also excellent. My sister frequently enjoys their ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs. The garlic bread is also to did for my sister loves it. I know Google does not allow for us to give half stars quarter stars, etc. this is a true 4.9, just because I don’t believe in perfection. That rating includes, service, atmosphere, quality of food, speed of cooking everything you can imagine the place is also very clean, and as I stated before, they will make every attempt in their power to accommodate you and make sure that you enjoy your food. If you’re in the area, you have to stop by and check it out if you don’t have a Ray’s pizza near you. P. S. If you’re in the mood, they also serve beer at the Peoria location. If you dine in I can’t speak for the other locations because I haven’t visited them.

Ari was a wonderful worker and absolutely made my friends and I's night. I have been sleeping on how amazing this restaurant is and its a shame because the entire crew was phenomenal. I will be coming back, and thank you Ari for accommodating our hot honey pizza request.

Great employees, great service, And great food for take out or eat In. Locations are great too.

We have been here many times for their slices. Family run and very friendly. The sauce had a nice tang to it, and are served on a metal pizza tray. Actual silverware is available, as well as oregano, paremsan and red pepper flakes. This is a favorite stop for lunch.

Food: 5 stars - We ordered 2x Monster Slices, 12 count of medium wings, and a 805 blonde draft beer. Everything was delicious. The Monster Slices were in fact monstrous. Topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, onions, bell pepper and cheese. It was comparable to a slice of pizza from Costco; the Monster Slices was about double the cost but loaded with toppings. We requested a well done finish so the bottom and crust was nice and crunchy! The wings were a generous size and medium was just enough heat to feel a kick but not burn my lips off. The only wing flavors they offer are hot, medium, mild or BBQ. It would be nice to see a honey hot, or some sort of dry rub like lemon pepper but overall wing quality was really good. Service: 5 stars - Stopped by during dinner service with my wife and 18 month old toddler. It was not busy at all so we were able to order and receive our food within 10 mins or so. They also obliged in changing the channel of one of the TVs to some playoff basketball per my request. Everyone was nice, patient and friendly. It was also nice to see some of the workers go wipe down the table as soon as other patrons left. They even cleaned the mirrors and little busy work instead of just standing around. This is how you know they have developed a strong culture here. Respects. Ambiance: 5 stars - Stepping in from the entrance, the place looks nice and cozy. A bunch of small booth style seating with a few pull out chairs for high chairs or wheelchairs. There's a huge mirror on one side of the restaurant to make the space feel more open. Tons of TVs for your viewing pleasure while dining in. Overall a nice little pizza joint that offers way more than just pizzas. Bonus points for their restroom having hot water. Most places don't even hook up their hot water to their restrooms. Overall: 5-stars - Will definitely be coming back. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid NY style, family-owned, pizza place that offers pizza, wings, subs, calzones, Italian hot plates and other delicious appetizers and desserts!

I did an online order for pizza from Ray's. It was just a few minutes from our hotel. It was piping hot when I arrived. We got two pizzas, and it was way too much because the pizzas are big! New York style pizza with thin crust and large pieces. We tried the Monster, which was loaded with toppings, and the white pizza, which I absolutely loved. Both were delicious. Definitely recommend!

Ray's Pizza, for a first time visitor, is as it advertises itself. It's a family-owned business, and one that serves pizza that is enough to arguably feed one person. I went after going to the gym, and was drawn to it by its single slice cheese pizza, which is $4.50 per slice as of June 2025. I got 2 slices. They were big. The family working there was so nice to the point where as I was standing on side, waiting for my slices, one of the costumers tasted his Pepsi, and told one of the workers that it tasted a bit off. The manager working there did not doubt him, he simply said that he would take a look at the machine, and go from there. He also answered his question as to what their Sicilian slices are like. He said that they were perfect for feeding a family and those who love Sicilian style pizza. As the service is great, and as it conveys which audience and people it intends to serve, the interior is cozy and very much reminiscent of a pizza restaurant. It's quiet, and from the demeanor of the worker's, kind and warm. The pizza itself is the same way. It's well-seasoned in spices, balanced in sauce to cheese ratio, and it is worth its price. 2 huge slices of cheese pizza for $9 - $11? It's worth it. I hope to visit them again soon for when I'm craving my pizza. Great place! Nice area, and perfect for families too. Even though I came by myself.

Smaller than pictures showed it but very clean food was delicious and price was good

Best pizza place in Arizona. Most amazing customer service and the food is super delicious. Super clean and friendly. Many places to sit and enjoy. Please visit if you havnt gotten the chance it's amazing!

The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We had the monster pie, meat lovers pie, calzone and hot wings. Everything tasted great and we haven't had such friendly service in a very long time. We will definitely return.

The staff are amazing, nicest people and very accommodating. Great customer service and pizza is amazing. Best around. They do have a bench in the corner where people can wait for pick up. I didn't see it and when I turned around to leave with pizza in hand there was a young girl right behind me and to get out of her way I shifted to the left a little bit and my foot hit the corner of the bench and injured it. I luckily didn't fall but my foot hurts so bad. Please move that bench to a safer location because it is unsafe. UPDATE: 7 days later and I still can't walk on my foot!!

It's a small joint but it's amazing pizza and wings are delicious and fresh. Employees are wonderful at there job and help with anything. And the vibe I get is just s amazing I truly love how good this place is will be going back again and again.

Great pizza and wings the salads and the calzones are really good as well. I will definitely be back

Great pizza and wings! I love the authenticity and uniqueness of their pizza. My parents started going to Rays so many years back, I can't even remember how long it has been. No matter which location you go to, they even might be a little bit different, but the pizza is always delicious! One thing I also love is that the staff staff is always friendly and helpful. I don't know maybe it's because I've been going there so long but I feel like they welcome you like family.

Always nice. Pizza is hot, fresh, and tasty. I've been coming here to this Rays for years and they are a friendly family who seem to enjoy their customers. I can eat Rays once a week, no problem!

Best customer service best pizza in Peoria. These guys aren't messing around . Pure quality everytime thank you for putting on for the westside -Jared

Family owned with great customer service. Delicious food; I have tried the pizza and the subs and they are great. My favorite is the Chicken Parmesan Sub. Parking lot accesible and plenty of seating tables. Tv screens for sports. Family style ambiance.

Oh my!!! Had a take out large pizza tonight. We chose our own toppings. It's been a while since we had a really good pizza. Ray's pizza did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly chewy yet soft. They don't skimp on the toppings either. Not greasy yet tons of flavor. Love love this pizza. We will be back. Highly recommend!!!

Our pizza was bursting with flavor, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Very clean environment, fast and friendly service, the team went above and beyond. I was highly satisfied with the outcome. Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish.

The service was good, the atmosphere was really nice, but the pizza was just okay to me. It wasn't bad by any means, but it just didn't blow me away. I ordered online for 4:30, picked up at 4:30, and my pizza wasn't really hot at all. Not sure if I will be back, but I don't regret trying it out!

The owner was insanely nice to us and provided us with the best I've ever received I highly recommend going here

Awesome pizza and wings! Never disappoints the wings are crispy good size. I've been wanting to try the things on the menu but every time we go in, we see those wings!

Great pizza and wonderful service. The owner chatted with us and made us feel like special Customers

The New York Style pizza is the best in the phoenix metro area by far. The flop and the cooked under carriage and the ingredients they use makes the difference

The wings were great. Super crispy and the right amount of heat. Pizza was solid. But better than all those was the service. They were so friendly and just went above and beyond. It feels like a family place. Had multiple tv's with sports on. Great place to watch a game. Will 100% be back.

Very nice New York style pizza. The only bummer was canned mushrooms. Other than that, it was very good

If you haven't been here and you like pizza, please try. I moved here 7 months ago and I'm on a mission to find the best and cheapest places to dine. Yummy, yummy,yummy. The deep dish pizza is the bomb. Best pizza since New York. I've had the pepperoni, Canadian bacon with pineapple and the pepperoni with sausage. Delicious!!!!

Hands down, best NY style thin pizza I've had since moving to Arizona (over 9 years ago). The crust, sauce, cheese- all of it fantastic. A must try. The service was also phenomenal. The whole staff was incredibly pleasant and friendly. Very welcoming and cozy spot.

Ordered 2 pizzas from here to go, both were delicious, great crust and loaded with toppings.

So their pizza is pretty good and their wings are ok but this lasagna I just had is quite mediocre. The cheese on top is so thick it's impossible to cut with your fork without smashing everything all over the place. The sauce just isn't quite there. It's a tad too sweet but not nearly as sweet as most places so could be worse. I just didn't quite like the flavor and the texture feels like they cooked it the other day and it sat in the fridge making the noodles all mushy so they just tossed some sauce on top and reheated it. I could be wrong but that's what it tastes like. I'll still be back though. The employees are very nice and I still like their other food. To be fair, I've never found a pizza place that makes good lasagna.

In the past I have overlooked the rude stuff the owner says bc food usually good. I've heard him complain loudly about anyone coming in an hour before closing. (Have heard him get off the phone and then say really mean stuff about customers. Real lack of professionalism but when your beard is so long it's practically dipping in the food I guess who cares right? Not really someone you want making your food.) Tonight came in 45 minutes before close and the attitude was obvious. Thought I could sit and eat a slice. Girl at register yells across restaurant after I order and sit down, are you getting this to go? We close in 40 minutes, making it clear that they just want you to leave. Have also listened to owner make nasty jokes about gay people. When I initially paid they practically threw the receipt at me. If you hate working late, close earlier, don't stay and complain the entire last hour you are there. Way overpriced. Clearly not good enough to make it in New York, but low quality does fine in Arizona. Classic Arizona.

This Ray's is so perfect. The staff is amazing and they really do treat you like family! We have moved and still drive further to eat at this specific location. The food is just as good. Our favorites are the wings and pizza of course but everything is great!

Pepperoni Pizza was great. The staff was very friendly and attentive. There was a steady steam of people coming in. Great local restaurant to support.

This is a good rays in town. Went to others that were disgusting and made us sick. I always get the eggplant Parm, zucchini, mushrooms, and NY pizza. Tried the Sicilian today and it was perfect. Nothing overcooked or raw for that thickness. They know their pizza here. The chef does. Lose this person and you'll end up like the rest. I will make recommendation. Stop using canned mushrooms.

All the above,great food being from New York it's just like being back home. Maggie is great as is the rest of the staff

They are some of the happiest most welcoming people I've ever met. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is even better. If your looking for a good place for an amazing pizza come here !!!!!!

We always get our pizza at Ray's to go..so much in fact my wife and I can't eat it all..usually 3 pieces left. Always ready to go when we get there and the staff are very friendly..highly recommended Rays!

Mediocre, at best. Luke warmed over slice served on wobbly plates. Tables wiped off onto floor making it a mess. I'm off the entire chain due to this one experience.

Lots to love about this place! The service is great, the restaurant is super clean, and the food is delicious! Ordered a large pepperoni pizza, well done. Crispy crust is super important to me and this pizza totally hit the mark. The cheese, sauce, and pepperoni all had great flavor as well. Overall, definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a thin, New York-style pizza. Cheers!

Super friendly staff keeps me coming back - pizza is good, a little chewy but otherwise good flavor!

I love rays. Very New York style service and food. Hot Sandwiches are amazing. Prices are very fair. Order online and give them an hour or so on the weekends, place is jumping.

Bought two calzones last night, came home cut them open and they were cold and uncooked inside :( bummer had to heat myself. When it was cooked, they were very yummy but not a lot of ricotta, too much mozarella.

They never disappoint!! Always support your small business they care . Best family pizza place near us I would definitely recommend..

The best pizza/italian food ever. Service was amazing, the cook came out and took this picture for us. This is a true Italian place with amazing people running it and spectacular food. It will make you not want to eat pizza anywhere else. Don't pass this place up.

A great family restaurant. Love the pizza. Service is always quick and pretty reasonable prices. Haven't tried too many other things on the menu but I am looking forward to doing so.

Without fail, Ray's Pizza at 83rd Deer Valley continues to bring great service and food to my family. The pizza we ordered for lunch today (i.e., Large Pepperoni, Mushroom and Black Olives) was excellent! It was a spur of the moment treat my wife and I decided to indulge in while we work from home, and though it may only just be food to some, it is a special event for us. Having such an inviting place to go and be welcomed like we always are by Ray's staff then bringing home the pizza, changes our world for the better, even just for a slice of time. Thank you Ray's! The Miller's

No way this is NY style pizza. The kids wouldn't even eat it! Overcooked and no flavor. It's NYPD for me I guess!

Very good! The crust was perfect and the staff was very sweet and accommodating! We will be back!

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + local place with a super nice owner. He seemed to know half of the people who came in + when our order was messed up- the owner immediately made it right by making a medium pizza with mushroom and olives for hubby + the pizza was nice and thin. I like mine extra saucy so I asked for a side of marinara. Delicious that day and for the next two - the front help was not the brightest. We ordered fried mushrooms and got fried zucchini instead (which were yum). We ordered a large pizza with mushroom all over and then half sausage and half olives. Instead we got sausage all over and then half veggies. Not great as I hate olives and hubby is a vegetarian

The pizza is always perfection. But the staff are all kind-hearted people, who will make you feel like family, the second you walk through the door.

These are the nicest people you are likely to meet, the fact that they also make the best pizza around is icing on the cake. Also killer cheese-steak sandwiches and wings. They just always always always hit it out of the park!
