Famous Original Ray's Pizza

Horrible service, excellent food. Service so bad makes you not enjoy their food.Veggie Pizza

Not exactly the original ray's, but with is infamous name, they sling decent pies like most other pizza shops in the city.I've stopped in here several times for a slice. It's pretty close to quintessential nyc pizza. I appreciate that they go beyond just plain and pepperoni. Garlic knots are pretty good too.Nice enough guys behind the counter and any slice is good as long as you ensure it hasn't sat there for too long. I've had a miss or two. The oven reheat can only do so much.

Overall great pizza, we grabbed three of the slice deals with drink, came in just over 20$.I liked the variety of slices, they did have to reheat but tasted good. There were some seats available at the time.

The pizza was fine, “not bad”, but I think they can do better. I liked how crusty it was but I had a feeling that it misses something, a little ingredient to make it much more tasty and flavorful. The Caprese slice was quite big but $6.10 still seems expensive.Will I return? Maybe, only if I am nearby and very hungry.

Stopped by this place after having some drinks a few blocks south, Inside at Bart's, left me craving a NYC slice. I walked inside and it looked the same as my childhood, a few employees behind the counter, some customers eating and a few more in line behind me. I ordered two plain slices, waited a few minutes then paid and walked to the back with my familiar red tray. Reminding me that I was in a familiar place was the NY1 logo hugging the bottom left corner of the TV screen. I added my seasonings and enjoyed both slices while catching up on local news, before tossing my garbage and heading to the subway.
