text: I am utterly confused by the four and five star ratings of this place Those people that use adjectives like wow and best pizza ever are not from anywhere near the east coast or New York I on the other hand AM from New York Was born and raised there and I know good pizza when I eat it Rays I am sorry to say is not authenticnnNow to be fair I did not order a slice I decided to go with something a little heartier like a chicken parm sub But let me back up a moment I have to echo some of my fellow reviewers about the service in this place The two girls running the front counter looked as though they were working a funeral parlor and not a pizza place No smiles No hellos It was quite depressing actually I even mentioned to one of the girls who brought me my food that she should lighten up and smile She cracked a shy grin and told me that she was sorry and that it was too early A customer does not give a rats ass how early it is It was pm Your front counter is like a receptionist in an office They are the face of the business They set the tone of the whole experience If you cannot get that right then the customer will not come back With my sub I ordered a side salad I paid and walked over to my table to waitnnThe food came out in pretty good time I did not feel like I would been waiting long The salad was pretty standard stuff iceberg lettuce a couple of tomato slices olives and a few croutons thrown in for good measure The Italian dressing tasted like it came from a bottle it definitely was not home made I give the salad a on a scale of to Definitely not worth the I paid nnOk on to the chicken parm sub It was pretty massive but that is about the only good thing I have to say I mean it was just okay I would tell you what the sauce tasted like but they barely put any on which in the end made the whole thing way too dry The bread was nice and crisp on the outside and doughy on the inside but the chicken cutlet did not taste like it was made in house I have my suspicions that it was prepackaged frozen cutlets it was way too salty and very dry It just tasted mass produced The whole thing was smothered in cheese that could have stood to be melted a little more It was a consistency that was half melted and half not kind of rubbery I give the sub a on a scale of to nnAll in all between the depressing front counter and the lackluster food you will not find me going back to this place Authentic New York style pizza places do not have to promote the fact that they are authentic like Rays does They use the word in their advertising I am sure there are other pizza joints that are more authentic When I find one I will let ya know
