    I live in the nyc and this is one of the best pizzas in Manhattan. The best thing is the dough. It is crispy all the way through not flabby.

    Late night service is great but very expensive. There are a lot of pizza places in Manhattan and in this neighborhood. I am just saying.

    Totally blah pizza. If you’re on the east side of 7th Ave between 53rd and 54th, then it’s the best. If you can walk another block in any direction, you should be able to find something better.

    Good variety of slices, pasta, and bottles drinks. Cheese for $3.50, specialty slices $6, and the garlic knots have just the right amount of garlic. One of the best low budget meal options in NYC.

    If you are in NYC and need some late night food, Ray’s is the place to go. Lots of interesting characters hanging around after midnight.

    They say that any random slice shop in NYC will give you an experience you can’t get at home. This isn’t the place you’re looking for. Head even to the $1 slice shops for heartier sauce and flavor.

    Drink refills are $1 here, so sip your soda judiciously.

    As a real pizza lover, I have to say this place is horrible! My pizza wasn't cooked through. The pizza was almost wet, because of the fat. Also it's kinda overpriced. If you like pizza, do NOT go here

    The old man at the register takes a good 15-second look at your ID and credit card, to make sure the names match. Oh, and total ripoff. Pizza sucks.

    How is this famous? Every dollar slice place I've been to in the city has better pizza than this. Also, for a high tourist area the service is atrocious. Stay far away from here

    Hot mess. Staff is just treating customers horribly. I guess they can afford it being so close to Times Square.

    Awful. What a ripoff - for tourists only. Plenty of legitimately good, non ripoff slices to be had in Manhattan.

    They stop selling cheese slices around 1am and force you to buy the specialty slices @ 5 bucks a pop.

    Of all the Ray's this is probably the worst Ray's in NYC. But it's still Ray's and still decent for a snack.

    It is a tourist trap.. They hide the prices behind another sign. My tip is pick another place.

    The pizza here is terrible! The Sicilian slice is even worse. Only eat here if you're a homesick tourist who misses the awful pizza back home.

    Overpriced and not that good. Better head downtown to Famous Rays at 6th Ave and 11th Street.
