Clearly the local mom and pop pizza restaurant’s are failing miserably. If you get pizza delivered half the time the pizza is a mess. I’ve been here a few times through the years but had DoorDash deliver pizza tonight. Arrived hot, and the pie was fantastic. Our knew “go too” for pizza. Simply great pizza. 11/8 UPDATE: Two weeks in a row from Rays and the pizza arrived hot, tasty and perfect. Take note competitors! We’re in West Orange, need I say more? Maybe there’s something said about using outside vendors for delivery. “PERFECT.”

I have just experienced pizza nirvana, and it's called Famous Ray's Pizza! Seriously, I'm writing this with a cheesy grin plastered across my face and a happy, full belly. From the moment I walked in, the aroma alone was enough to make my eyes water (in a good way!). The staff? Absolute legends! So friendly, so passionate about their pizza, you could tell they genuinely cared. I ordered the Buffalo chicken and cheese slices, and let me tell you, it was a masterpiece. The crust? Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The sauce? Oh, the sauce! It was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love. And the toppings! Fresh, generous, and bursting with flavor. Every single bite was an explosion of deliciousness. I'm talking "stop-talking-to-your-friends-because-you're-to

The other day I got, Famous Ray’s Pizza Of New York, for lunch. I ordered their Italian Sausage, Buffalo Chicken, & Pepperoni Slices. I absolutely loved their Pepperoni Slice! It had great flavor and the sauce and cheese meshed really well. The other two slices were pretty middle of the pack though. Did not like the Buffalo Chicken Slice at all and was not too fond of the Italian Sausage slice. Both were really doughy and barely had any flavor. All of the crusts in general were doughy and chewy tbh. The person who took my order was extremely professional and had excellent customer service. I couldn’t highly recommend this place, but if you’re looking for some decent tasting pizza, and you are in the Verona area, feel free to check this place out.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jessica Beck · Aug 2025

The plain slice was delicious! We would definitely get that again. The one with toppings was undercooked and doughy. (Although better once we got home and cooked it a bit more, it still isn't something we would not get again.) The interior of the restaurant had a very very strong odor of gas, which was off-putting. The bathroom is not accessible and extremely tiny and hard to get to, although the toilet and sink were very clean. The handicapped parking spot is on a hill, so keep that in mind if you require flatter surfaces. Overall, it's not the nicest atmosphere, but the plain slice was top notch and we would certainly stop there again just for that - to go.

This isn't that generic cardboard you find on every corner. The crust flavor is deep, it’s got that fermented soul that makes the whole pie. The toppings aren't just thrown on; they’re paired very well. Fast service, no BS, and the crew has an energy that actually makes you want to keep coming back.
