Ray's Pizzaria

When I worked in the area, I used to frequent Ray’s on Blanco. After a far too long hiatus, I discovered their new location and it is so nice! Their pizza is just as amazing as ever. In fact, I forgot how good it is! I got cheese pizza with feta and it was amazing. Their crust is excellent. The staff are all super friendly and I’m so happy I found them again. Will be back soon!!

Great little Italian spot tucked away in a shopping center that I would not have normally gone to, except I did, and I am better for it. The food is really good for fast food Italian, so good I actually go here for an Italian fix instead of the countless other restaurants I need to pass on the way to get here. Do they have the selection of a sit-down table cloth type of Italian restaurant, no. Are there some dishes at other restaurants that do a thing or two better, sure. But this place has excellent food at fair prices, with great service. And let me tell you, I have paid twice as much for food half as good at some other Italian restaurants that I will refrain from mentioning. Those restaurants know who I am talking about.

There are two Ray’s and they are not the same. It can be confusing sometimes so decided to try both. I did have this Rays spaghetti and meatballs before at their old location on Blanco and enjoyed it. I wanted to compare but I should have looked at the menus first. I picked a sausage dish at the other place and no sausage dish was available here. So I ordered baked ziti. Beef, ricotta, mozzarella and marinara baked. First off the people were very friendly and there was plenty of room for handicapped. They used the aluminum foil pan, which I much prefer for takeout. It keeps food warm much longer and no soaking up sauce onto foam. It’s 20 minutes away in traffic so that is important to me. Got home and finished my included salad and the food didn’t need reheating. However this dish while tasty and satisfying was not spicy. I could have used some oregano or garlic or something. Very good bread is included. However the salad was a 5 star. So wonderful for an included side salad. Just full of cheese, black olives etc. Wonderful blue cheese dressing. I’ll have to come back for a slice or another dish. And looking forward to doing just that.
