If you like thin pizza this is the best in the city. Ray was the cook at Fays pizza or knotty pine. They are still one place that the price isn't bad. They only have one size and only take cash but it's worth it ! They do have an ATM machine in the restaurant.

Very delicious pizza, even better chicken tenders! When we went, it was one person working by himself. He was cranking out 4-9 pizza per order and he was still very kind and polite! Heads up though they only take cash.

It's a take to go restaurant that's a huge city favorite for pizza, which is a small thin crust "tavern" style pizza. Great taste at great prices with some great tasting dinners and salads also!

Ray's is some of THE best pizza in New Bedford if not the whole SouthCoast. The place may be unassuming, nothing flashy about the joint, no banks of wide screen tvs or $12 mixed drinks, but who needs any of that when you can just have good food. Their thin crust is very very similar to south shore bar pizza and absolutely delicious. Their antipasto is enormous. Enough for at least two meals. Good dressing too, not just cheap packets. We've only had some of their pasta but it was also really well done and the portions were huge. Prices are fantastic. We got four pizzas, fries and an order of cheese with sauce for right around $50 the other day. Ray's is an absolute must if you're local and if you're not it's worth the stop if you're in the area. Even my kids (3 and 5) love it.

If you like thin crust pizza, this is the best place around. Especially the linguica, the flavor is the best. Has a very big, loaded with cheese and meat sauce, lasagna. Think it's made in a loaf pan. Made fresh to order so it takes a while but well worth the wait. Very reasonable for the size and quality at $10. Many things I haven't had but when you start off with these 2 things, it's hard to have anything else. Very small place but dining room is not open yet. Mostly a takeout place anyway. No delivery (that I know of) and cash only.
