Pizza Rating:


A friend of ours, Christi, told us that this was THE original Famous Ray's Pizza. The other original Famous Ray's Pizzas (NOT affiliated) have a lot to live up to, because the pizza here is quality. They were efficient, serving us plain slices straight out of the oven with no reheating wait. There was lots of cheese (maybe too much?) and the crust was tasty and bready, (a little thick?)--both of which made folding this slice in half to eat in the true New Yorker style a little difficult. All in all, the pizza here was tasty and fresh, and it's a convenient walk west of NYU on busy Greenwich 6th Avenue. At $2.25 a slice,* however, we really want it to wow us.




Mmm, cheesy!
