Ray's Pizza

Love rays pizzaStaff is so friendly & funny. Super personable & rly good pizza. We like getting their pizza specials which include 2 slices of either pepperoni or cheese and a drink. Food is ready in literally 5 minutes. Another plus is that their soda is super carbonated -- in other words, perfect. Indoor has decent seating.

Long live Ray's!I used to visit Ray's once a week about a decade ago; my first office was in the 4199 tower.Just happened to be strolling through University Center tonight and hello Ray's! You're still here! Was going to call in for a slice but convinced my husband to split a small cheese with me. Came out in about ~15 minutes and was fresh, fresh, fresh!Miraculously, we ate the entire pizza then and there (8 slices).They have some nostalgic photos of New York on the walls and also have one of the old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games that you can still play for a quarter inside. They have some combo specials (two slides and a drink, or a slice, salad and drink, for example) that you can take advantage of. Not quite NY pizza (dough needs to be crispier on the bottom), but a good pizza nonetheless. 2024: 89/100

You can never go wrong with pizza, and Ray's does a great job of sticking to that standard! Their pizza is classic, cheezy, with a thick fluffy crust, and lots of typical toppings to choose from. I would like to think that they has really mastered the basics - which is my gold standard for a restaurant when I'm craving a quality, straightforward pizza. I also tried their garden salad - which wasn't anything special, but I thought was a good amount for the price, and was loaded up with fixings. I haven't tried their pastas, but they looked (and smelled) really good, so I will definetly be back at some point!

Such an underrated pizza spot, I tried their pepperoni and vegetable pizza and the cheese melt was just amazing. Not only is the food great, the owner Ray is so kind and I would come back for the service alone. The ambience is really lively and they have enough seats inside but seems more of a take out place.

I usually come here for lunch while I'm at work if I'm in the mood for some comfort food. I could choose any other place at UTC, but Ray's Pizza is my go-to greasy spoon in Irvine. I normally go for the $11 two slices and a soda deal. The pizza is pretty hearty and if you're looking for comfort pizza, this is it. It's good for the price and if you just need a quick bite. Service has always been friendly. It's indie owned so the cooks and staff pretty much know you if you're a regular. The ambience is very much geared at the college students at UC Irvine but anyone can enjoy this greasy spoon. I prefer eating outdoors. Tables are usually cleaned often. Parking is not too hard to come by.

Ray's is a decent pizzeria near UCI. They have a decent lunch deal that's $11 something for a slice of pepperoni and a slice of cheese pizza and a fountain drink. The slices were of average to slightly smaller than average size for new york pizzas. It didn't taste amazing nor was it bad. It was average as average gets. The service was fast and polite. They don't do free refills. It's a $1 for refills on fountain drinks. The ambiance is pretty college campus like. No surprise there. You gotta do that near college campuses if you're a small business. You can eat inside or they have seats outside. No frills. Just somewhere to sit and eat.Pretty decently average pizza place near campus.

Great pizza, reasonable price, and super friendly owner. One of the shops that has been UTC the longest and it's easy to see why. Always a great place to pick up a slice or a pizza to go. It's also fun to play some street fighter there as well.

Yesterday was my 1st time trying this place even though I have been working in this plaza for 5 years. To be honest I'm not really a pizza person BUT omg I love the pizza here. They had a special.. 2 slices and a drink for $10.50. I loved it so much I got it again today for lunch. Ps the owner here is such a nice man.

I was heading to the movie theatre and I happened to notice Ray's Pizza. I saw they sell single slices, and decided to stop in and grab one before the show. I'm really glad I did!Tip: There's a special where you can get two slices and a drink for somewherre in the neighborhood of $7!I've always been a fan of NY-style pizza, and the slices they serve here really look and taste just like the ones I remember from the Big Apple; the crust is perfectly shaped, and you can "fold" a slice to eat it, without having it flop all over :-)I don't remember the last time I had a slice that tasted this good - I really enjoyed it, and I'm going to make a point to swing by here soon to pick up a whole pie so I can enjoy it at home.

The legendary Ray's pizza is not something to joke about. It contains profecies about true quality. First off the service was sweet and very caring. The size of a single slice will surprise you, being ginormeous. The flavor was so good that even though I'm now a new vegan, Im tempted to go back and have just one more slice. The ambience is right on, like an older style rubys vibe with chairs inside and out front. 10/10 recommend you and all your friends to hit up rays pizza right now
