Ray's Pizza Riverside Reviews
This place was really surprising. They have personal pan pizzas of all of their regular pieces which is cool for me because I don't eat a lot of pizza. They do pizza by the slice. Keep in mind that their slices are two pieces of their extra large pizza. Their oven is just behind the counter and makes the restaurant pretty warm. But they're Bianca Pizza is absolutely delicious. And they have some amazing meatball sandwiches as well. They also have a Pac-Man game and it set up a little bit like the 50s soda fountain.
Fantastic 10/10 pizza. They out-Pizza the Hut, stabbed Little Caesar's, tumbled Domino's, towered over Papa John's and defeated the knights of Round Table pizza. Treat yourself to the finer things in life and grab a slice of Ray's Pizza.
We ordered a ham and pineapple pizza and it was one of the best pizzas we've ever tried. The people there were very nice. And the wings were great also! Definitely coming back (:
Been years since I've had authentic NY pizza. This place comes close, very close. Crust could use some work. Giant NY Pizza in Vista and Charlie's in Redondo Beach are also good.
Excellent place for a slice of pizza. $5 a slice. Personally I do not go there regularly, but as a tourist I had a very satisfying experience going to this place! Especially with a lack of other options around, I was very happy that there was a by-the-slice type pizza place in river wood near where I was staying. Thick crust thick cheese style.
I've been eating here for a few years and love everything about it. Great student staff and new owner. The New York style thin crust pizza is greasy but really good. They sell individual slices and recently started offering kraft beers. They also have a few TV's for sports fans. Go there and catch a movie next door while you're there!
Looooove this place! My man and i go about every 3 weeks and we're always satisfied! We usually get the build your own pizza and its always freshly made! My next order will be the calzone, that's been calling my name. The employees are very friendly and the times being there, we've never had to pay for parking! i would recommend to ANYONE who is not picky like these others. haha
Pizza Lovers Will Love Ray's Pizza I just had some of the best pizza in a while. Totally unexpected and a pleasant surprise. The thing about pizza, if the crust or the bread sucks, it doesn't matter what you top it off with. But with Ray's Pizza's, the crust is nice, thin and very tasty. I tried the pepperoni and the Hawaiian slice with pineapple and they were awesome. I know there are plenty of places to eat in this area but a good slice of pizza is a rare find these days. Everyone was nice and friendly. Great service. Great value for the price. Give them a try. I highly recommend. PS. I wish I had take a picture of my slices. I would have taken a few pictures had I known was going to be motivated to right a nice review. Trust me. Check them out!
Cashier was super sweet and quick! 6 bucks for 2 slices of pizza and a drink.
Great Pizza! The BBQ Pizza is to die for! Great Atmosphere & Service too!
This is an awesome place. NY style pizza. A must try!
Great pizza place nestled next to the movie theater in University Village.
Such friendly service and great pizza and warm cookies to go with it!!!
Nice cozy place with good classical pizza at an decent price
I love their calzones. Great staff great music
It is always great customer service every time I go😊👌🏼
Great pizza, nice flavor :)
I love this place. I'm a regular customer. The student staff are great. They try their best to provide us with good service and are attentative to our needs. Their pizza and buffalo wings are dank. That's all Im sayin.
Gluten free pasta. Yes, I am one of those people. Call it what you will: the pasta challenged, glutarded... wheat, barley and rye do bad things to me for a long time after I consume them so I avoid them like the plague. In my quest to to find a good authentic Italian restaurant I could enjoy a good meal at with friends I found this gem. It took all of my willpower to keep from licking my plate and I managed to keep it dignified despite my lowered inhibitions from the bottle of wine we consumed.

Super sweet and friendly staff. Excellent pizza and for a decent price😃😃
Hands down one of my favorite grab and run pizza places. They sell pizza by the slice. I loventhe New York style cheese. When they don't have any ready. It takes 10 mins to get a fresh one out and i get a beer in the meantime.
I had the opportunity to try Ray's Pizza while on a lunch break at University Village 😊 I was happy to find them as they add to the variety of lunch places available at UV, conveniently located if you're on a short break from class and don't want to leave that parking lot. I went for the lunch special which was a slice of pizza that came with a salad and a drink 🍕🍅👍
Very good pizza and always fresh and warm
Good, quality pizza at an affordable price.
Young lady over the counter was very nice and helpfull.
Pizza and bread are great, wings are pre breaded. Hot wings shouldn’t be breaded, but that’s my opinion.
The service was pretty good and the prices are a bit too expensive for the pizza slice I got. The pizza Slice I got was on the smaller side. The pizza is VERY greasy and you can tell they buy the dough premade. I enjoyed it but it was nothing special and I wouldn't choose to go back. Maybe if someone wanted to go I would but not worth the money. Picture shows two pieces of pizza and a drink which equals roughly $8.
They alternate pepperoni and cheese slices on every pizza so it's impossible to get a true vegetarian slice unless you order a whole pie. Otherwise, very good ninja turtle New York style pizza.
I didn't like the pizza. I ate the toppings and threw the crust out the window on my way back to work. If your looking for New York pizza. This is not it. Not even for regular pizza. I will not be back. Plus 5 dollars for parking, give me a break. Their Calzone although is delicious.
Just ok, I wonder how they stay in business honestly but whatever.
Your pizza is realy good however i have had alot of issues with pickup and somebody picked up the phone and i could hear their breathing snd they hung up the phone then a second time they did not pick it up you should hire more staff like Michael wjo is gone now because you sre losing alot of money WE WANT TO BUY YOUT PIZZA BUT SOME OF YOUR STAFF ARE slacking me and my dad hope we can finally get some of this pizza after you solve this i gave you 3 stars becuase i dont want this place to go down but please look into this issue with your staff
GREAT PIZZA. HORRIBLE STAFF. GIRLS AT FRONT ARE NOT WELCOMING AND ALWAYS LOOK STANK. HIRE FRIENLY PEOPLE PLEASE. ! Pizza is GREAT THO
Oven heated pizza, so the crust is crispy. Thin slices. Pretty good.
I was in the area and decided to try them out— the pizza was a bit greasy but otherwise tasted fine. However, I had a very horrible bout of food poisoning after eating here, so I will be very cautious about coming back
So sad. Great pizza, but I ended up ordering pizza elsewhere because of an unpleasant staff member. I didn't trust that the irritated employee on the phone would not do something nasty to our food. Good customer service is so important.
The workers are on their phone while ppl wait for food
Ok people. Not the type of person to post things especially negative.... But. Not worth the price. Got a cheese pizza. Funny thing. It didn't really have any cheese. Also. It took a couple minutes to eat the pizza since we picked it up and took it home. Not good.maybe if we are there. Shouldn't have tried something new.
This place is ridiculous expensive. I got the worst service ever. The pizza was cold when delivered the driver had no idea what he was doing. The doue charged me 25 dollars for a large pizza and small wings hmmm that's just poor on every level dont waste your time you'll be better off with lil Cesar's
The pizza dough was thin and flavorless. We stopped at this location for a quick bite and for a 14" extremely thin pizza and a soda we paid nearly $20. We definitely did not get full we had to drive somewhere else. Expensive and bad quality I would say. The place is nice though.
The pizza is not good and is thin and tasteless. I took my friend who was visiting from New York there for dinner and she took one bite and took the pizza immediately to the counter and demanded a refund. The pizza was not hot, thin and cardboard like. The blonde at the counter was disgusted that we didn't like the food but eventually gave in and refunded us when we threatened to file a charge-back with the credit card company and report it to corporate. Ugh not worth it.
Was not a FAN! Sausage was nasty on the pizza.. I would not try again! If you want real pizza go to Antonious Pizza Cafe downtown!!
Trash plain and simple trashy ass nasty ketchup pizza taste like a lunchable microwaved
Food wasn't good. Poor customer service. Small and dirty tables.
Bad customer service. Go to Romano's down the street.
My pizza looked like it came out freezer from food 4 less my antipasta salad had 6 small slices of ham and 12 pepperoni way over priced $30 for subpar pizza and salad best part about my dinner was the door dash driver was very nice.
Ordered at 8:45 when the site said we could order until 9:30 (it's a Saturday night). Get a message at 9:20 that the business can't be reached. Try calling, no answer. Completely unreliable business that apparently does not adhere to their hours nor care to be accountable for the information they provide. Not worth waiting 30 minutes only to find out they might not honor your order.
