Reviews
I visited Pepperoni Ray's for the first time last night after I moved my daughter and her friend into UNO. After a long day of work, we were starving, and I found PR's on Yelp very close with great reviews, so gave it a try. I got a large cheese pizza with extra cheese carryout. It was ready in about 20 minutes, and I waited in the restaurant. It is a nice, chill place to be, with nice friendly staff. Now the pizza we all agreed was one of the best we ever tasted. You can tell the sauce and crust are homemade, the sauce has a delicious fresh flavor, and the crust is the perfect thickness and texture, kind of thin but not too thin. The cheese was so tasty, exactly the right amount. Yum, yum, yum. We were wishing we had ordered more, and will be returning soon!
Went to check this place out after seeing about it on IG and it did not disappoint! Got a large pep with extra cheese. Some of the best pizza I've had since moving out of California. The homemade tomato sauce for base is the best I've had hands down, also had a side salad that was good, came with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and bacon but took carrots & bacon off, I don't eat all that in my salad but it was good. to black owned so that was good as well. Pizza was 10/10 and the woman who took my order was friendly as well. I'll be back once back in the city for work. Found my go to pizza spot when I'm back in the New Orleans area.
The best wings a pizza an ice cream,ray is the best pizza maker a creator of all flavors go order some food now.
I called in the order so not a dine-in review. Great place to grab and go for a pizza. Everyone was friendly. The pizza was to die for. I almost ate the whole box by myself. The wings were perfect as well. This spot was 10x better than any chain pizza place. Food was ready in the time I was given. It took about 12-15 minutes but that's not bad at all. My order was ready when I walked in.
I have been wanting to try this place forever & I'm glad I did. I had an appointment in the area and placed an order through Uber eats. The food was ready when I got there. The owner was extremely friendly and gave me all of the condiments needed for my order. Since it was my first time i ordered a small pepperoni pizza with a side of hot wings. I drove my food all the way to the westbank and it was still hot. I was extremely pleased with everything and will definitely be back.
