" Ray's Pizza was a staple during my last NYC visit. The long-standing tradition lived up to its name, and I savored every slice. The crust had that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, beautifully balanced with flavor-packed toppings. Can't recommend it enough if you want a taste of New York! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high hopes based on what everyone said. The pizza was decent, but I didn't think it lived up the 'Famous' tag. The service was somewhat slow despite not being busy when I went. It felt like the kitchen was overwhelmed for some reason, even though there was no line. I liked the outdoor seating area, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" This pizza took me by surprise! The first bite melted in my mouth, and it had that authentic NY crust I always wanted. The outdoor seating adds to the fun vibe. Service was quick, and I appreciated how the staff handled the rush efficiently. If you want real New York pizza, this is a great spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was really impressed! The garlic knots made my day, and the pizza was a nice touch too. Prices were reasonable for the area, and the surroundings had an electric feel to them. A great quick-stop or late-night dining option! " (*Curated Review*)

" Super disappointed with my visit to Ray's. The pizza I've had from there tasted like it was left out for a while. I hate it when pizza is not hot enough to eat. Unfortunately, the staff seemed indifferent to the issues brought up by customers. The atmosphere didn’t help; it felt dirty and cramped. Maybe just an off day? " (*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*)
