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.

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.

You can taste the assholes behind the counter on your pizza.

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

Crowded, costly and not living up to a NYC slice

Greatest one dollar cheese pizza slice in NYC! Must eat!
FerasMarch 30, 2016
Superfresh. Just have a couple of cheese pizzas and ENJOY!
Chuck PierceFebruary 7, 2014
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

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.

I love their pizza!

Hot mess. Staff is just treating customers horribly. I guess they can afford it being so close to Times Square.
Mike BeauchampJuly 6, 2012
Not the greatest location, but the pie is still awesome.

Been here 5+ times
the most depressing seating area in nyc
Leslie OroFebruary 19, 2012
Good slice of pizza. Seating area in the back.
Jeremy GoldmanSeptember 9, 2013
Awful. What a ripoff - for tourists only. Plenty of legitimately good, non ripoff slices to be had in Manhattan.

Buffalo chicken pizza 👍🏽
Katerina AnnaNovember 19, 2014
You know how people say "bad pizza is still pizza"? No. Worst pizza ever. Not edible. Run away!!

This place is a bit pricy.
KrystleJune 16, 2012
If you want to get ripped of and Pizza that's mediocre... Told us total was 5.99, we gave her 20 and got 12.01 back
Chris KonecnyFebruary 17, 2018
Pizza not hot
Meri StrowberyDecember 8, 2010
it's very good____ There's better and cheaper slices nearby off 7 th.
Steve SwainJanuary 28, 2012
Best slice in town
Holly SMay 18, 2010
They stop selling cheese slices around 1am and force you to buy the specialty slices @ 5 bucks a pop.
Todd MinerMarch 19, 2013
It is a tourist trap.. They hide the prices behind another sign. My tip is pick another place.

Nice and cheesy, but just your average slice. Not great, not bad.
Ethan DuffyMarch 19, 2011
Get the garlic knots
Billy HenehanNovember 18, 2010
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.
Joel GillmanDecember 7, 2012
It sure is pizza.
Julian NamNovember 5, 2010
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.
Gab2yApril 2, 2013
Never come here! I just spent $8 on a soda and a slice. What a rip.
Josh KolapoJune 30, 2013
There customer service is horrible. Don't waster your time
Evgeni RodFebruary 22, 2011
Best pizza ever
Jeff WittichJuly 24, 2016
Great slices and open late night.
Jason HartAugust 9, 2011
Almost $4 for a pepperoni slice. Not worth it.
Jorge LiloyJune 4, 2010
pizza is ok, definitely not worth the price. There's better and cheaper slices nearby off 7th.
Vindu GoelAugust 22, 2013
Overpriced for mediocre pizza. Tourist trap.
Jill PisarekOctober 15, 2014
Fantastic hole in the wall pizza joint!
Taylor PhillipsAugust 2, 2011
Best meat pizza I've ever had! The garlic knots are good but dry. Worth it.
Kevin RoemerMarch 17, 2014
Places is crap. Tourist trap.
John LawterMay 14, 2011
Overpriced and not that good. Better head downtown to Famous Rays at 6th Ave and 11th Street.
Chris FuschJuly 5, 2013
The best pizza I have ever had!
