" Came here on a Saturday night after a Broadway show. The line was long, but it was worth the wait! I ordered a classic cheese slice and it was perfection. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My friends loved their pepperoni slices too. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement—definitely felt the New York vibe! Must try! " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy I made the trek to Ray's! The pepperoni slices were heavenly and loaded with cheese. I was impressed by their speed, as my order was ready in no time at all. The outdoor seating under the neon lights of Times Square is such a cool vibe! Must try for anyone in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved the experience! The pizza had a great balance of cheese to sauce. It was the epitome of NY style pizza: thin, crispy, and flavorful! The outdoor seating gave us a fun perspective watching the hustle of Times Square. " (*Curated Review*)

" Famous for a reason! The pizza at Ray's is simply delightful. I tried a pepperoni slice and it was loaded with flavor. The crust was crunchy and flavorful. I even enjoyed the ambiance, filled with locals and tourists, giving it a vibrant atmosphere. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they were all friendly and managed to keep the line moving. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Times Square! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent pizza but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. It was a convenient spot when I was nearby. Cleanliness could have used some improvement. The employees were friendly enough but I felt rushed. I think there are better pizza places in NYC. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Ray's Pizza is a must-visit if you're in New York. The classic cheese pizza brought me back to my childhood. The crust was perfectly crispy and the cheese was a nice gooey texture! Highly recommend not just for the food, but also for the nostalgia of the place. Service was friendly and quick, even during peak hours. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I regularly visit, and I've found that the quality has changed over the years. The pizza is still good but lacks the charm it once had. The atmosphere felt less welcoming, and although the line moves quickly, there was less care in Pizza making. I'll keep coming back, but with softer expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
