Pepperoni Ray’s

I have little options in terms of delivery to Paris Oaks and I DID NOT want Dominos pizza. So the high talked about Pepperoni Rays it was. I ordered the special of wings and large pizza for 19.99. was told it would be an hour and it was a little over. Pizza was luke warm. I got cheese and pepperoni because some of the people I was with don’t like a pizza with toppings (boring)… The pizza was meh, it wasn’t bursting with flavor other than a weird flavor from the pepperoni. I gave them to my dog cause her food choices are extensive and she’s not picky about flavor. I only ate one piece cause it wasn’t worth it to me to have another. I don’t eat wings but the five-​year-​old eating them didn’t complain. I won’t be ordering from the soon but I will still pick them over Dominos next time I am in a bind.

I ordered a pizza from here Friday, April 28^th. Everyone there was sweet however, when I got home opened the pizza… I found at least ²⁄₃ hairs in the box of pizza. I ordered bbq wings and the bbq wasn’t on the wings, it was at the bottom of the box, like bbq juice! lol… My kids and I didn’t enjoy it at all. My food didn’t look like anything in the pictures!

Ordered two pizzas for pickup over the phone. Was told it would be ready in 25 minutes.
25 minutes later we got to Pepperoni Ray’s and paid some kid at the counter for the pizza. We sat and waited 30 minutes. The same kid we paid looked at us and asked — «What did you guys order?» We finally got our pizza.
One of the pizzas was burnt. The other one was ok.

Best local pizza spot in Gentility!
It’s a tad bit expensive and their online menu can use some updating; however, you get A LOT for your buck.

*Attempted* to order delivery from here while working my usual evening shift. When a co-​worker called to place our order she was told that they could not deliver to us without any explanation. Everyone had raved about the crawfish bread so naturally I had my heart set on it so I called back and pretty much begged them to deliver but was told that the manager had instructed her to not take orders from the hospital because their delivery driver was always getting tickets for being parked on our ramp. I told her that I would meet the driver outside myself and give her my cell phone number so that the driver could call me but she would not budge.
Like I said, we all reallllllly had our heart set on ordering from here so we ended up placing the order and went to pick it up. When we got there, the place was completely empty. I paid for my crawfish bread and was so excited to eat it but I was quickly let down. The crawfish bread is exactly what it sounds: a french bread loaf with a decent number of crawfish with melted cheese and parsley (?) on top. The taste was really lackluster and I’m sad that I wasted so many calories on this dish. The flavors didn’t really meld together and some of the bread was burned. After all the trouble that I went through to get it, it was far from satisfying.
On another note, the pizzas look really good so I may give that a try but only if we can convince the manager to deliver to us.

I’m a fan of Pepperoni Ray’s and can’t wait to go back for more! I actually haven’t tasted their amazing « Unilocal-​critically acclaimed» pizza or cheesy bread yet, but I have experienced their hospitality and finger-​liking chicken wings (pictured below). I was in the neighborhood and decided to go upstairs to Pepperoni Ray’s yesterday. I wasn’t quite sure where the actual restaurant was, like many people, but once you get up the stairs, keep going straight and you’re bound to hit it. There’s one room on your right, that’s filled with tables and chairs, but that’s the seating area, NOT where you order food. The door in front of you will lead to the place where you order food. Once you’re inside, at the cash register they have menu’s. I can’t wait to go back and try their salads, sandwiches, various other flavored chicken wings, and of course — their pizza! I will definitely return to Pepperoni Ray’s, the food is fabulous!

I’m addicted to the crawfish bread, and wings. … I’m always greeted and the staff is always great! I love the fact that the owner is hands on and he supports his staff and is great to his customers. Keep up the great job Ray.

I would loved to have tried this place. I called and was told (very rude female answered the phone) that they didn’t deliver 3 miles away! Maybe they shouldn’t advertise delivery if they are not capable of delivering outside of a 2 mile radius!

I’m a fan of local business and pizza, so I was excited for Pepperoni Rays. That excitement faded to tepid acceptance as I took my first bite of ‘zza. The pizza was undercooked and the toppings were unremarkable. It provided me sustenance but no joy. I held out hope. Several weeks later I ordered again. This pizza was not undercooked — in fact it was cooked to a crisp. I don’t understand the loyal following Pepperoni Rays has gathered. It compares favorably to Dominos, Pizza Hut, and a freezer pizza but pales in comparison to other New Orleans pizza joints. If you live west of Elysian Fields, do yourself a favor and order delivery from Reginellis in Lakeview.

This is a unique pizza joint. THE FOOD IS AMAZING! Slow service and one person making the food but overall amazed at the food. The dining area was quiet and COLD! Will definitely visit here more often as I love pizza with wings special.

Best pizza I’ve had in a while. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

It seems I’m the underdog here, this pizza was not memorable, I ordered a medium speciality pizza (Hot Sausage) I wish the counter girl whom was very nice btw, would have told me it came with onions and green peppers, actually that’s what the pizza should have been called the onion and green pepper pizza, because there was six pieces of hot sausages on the whole pizza, while the whole pie was filled with purple onions and green bell peppers
I despise onions on anything unless it fajitas and I can ration them out myself. And I definitely do not want any onions on my pizza, i looked over the menu to make sure I didn’t misread any fine print about the extra unwanted toppings.
The three stars is for the great customer service and the fresh ingredients, while I didn’t enjoy the pizza and I’m not sure I will ever spend my cash here again, I appreciate that the pizza didn’t taste like it was prepared from month old cheese, stale bread, or old ingredients.
*Still looking for great pizza in New Orleans!

Good pizza at a good price. I think it would a great place for take out. As for eating in the dinning area it is clean but not hooked to the area that makes the pizza. I don’t know the area well but I would be on guard later into the night. As I would be in most areas of New Orleans these days. The bottom line I will eat here again but do want to try the other top 5 winner first.

Stopped in for lunch with my fiancé after hearing that this place finished highly in the fan vote for favorite pizza place. The setup is a little unusual. It seems they do a mostly takeout business. There is a small room for placing orders, then you go outside and in to another room with tables to wait for the food. We did have to wait a little longer than I would’ve preferred, especially if I didn’t have a long lunch break today.
They do have a good lunch deal, which is a small, two topping pizza with five chicken wings and a drink for around $ 12. I got beef and bacon for my pizza and Cajun ranch for the wings. My fiancé got pepperoni and olive pizza and lemon pepper wings. The pizzas were quite inconsistent. My crust was very thick and doughy, while my fiancé has a much thinner crust that I preferred the pizza was just okay. We both really liked the wings though, which appear baked instead of fried.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Great pizza, wings are properly prepared and salad is awesome for the price ! It’s from now on my local pizza spot. Forget dominos and Papa Johns if you live in Gentilly.

Excellent Food!!! And the service is perfect as well. We had the lemon pepper wings which were perfection and the hot sausage pizza. It doesn’t get more New Orleans than that. Do yourself a favor and get the chef or caesar salad to balance everything out. We were thanked for choosing pepperoni Rays on more than one occasion which let us know our business was appreciated.
To top it all off the owner went to John F Kennedy High School. So it felt good to support a local business instead of a huge chain where you’re just another credit card.

Got salad, wings, and a can drink. Wings were delicious and baked. The salad was also very good and surprise they actually give you enough salad dressing for your salad here. They seem to have some good deal on the lunch specials.

The place is upstairs and kind of hard to find, you have to order food in room and sit in another. The looks can be a turnoff but, i will give a local new biz a try, must support. Biz biz always started small at one point in time. Staff was grwat, gave me a discount for being a JFK alumni. Drink selection is small, ordered a pizza n two drinks under $ 20. They make thier own lemonade and fruit punch, supper sweet but good. Reminds me of the way koolaid and lots of sugar tasted when i was little. The dining area is plain, but its ok. Pizza came out quick, no plates were given, just napkins, weird, but inguess to keep cost down. The pizza is good! The crust is just right, not to thick, just thin enough. I must say, dont knock the the place by the looks. Will return, great place for kids!

I was really looking forward to trying this place out. Didn’t have and pizza though. I ordered wings (called in). The good thing is you can mix flavors. I got 5 buffalo and 5 lemon pepper. After being told they’d be ready in 10 minutes, I arrived 15 minutes later only to have to wait for my order. The wings were WAAYYYY too salty… especially the lemon pepper. I thought I would have a stroke at any moment! I didn’t finish them unfortunately, as they were just unbearable. They salt totally killed what should’ve and would’ve been a great meal. Womp, womp…

Wooooo Hoooo!!! So this time I tried an actual pizza-​like dish… That being the ULTIMATE CHEESY BREAD. And at $ 4.99, this is a meal & then some. I actually think this item deserves to cost a little more considering the size… But maybe it’s a marketing thing & they’ll gradually increase the price… But anywho!!!
This cheesy bread was the cheesiest, even better than Kraft Mac n Cheese. I mean I have to literally remove it from my eyesight as I just couldn’t resist shoving more in my mouth.
I called ahead this time, as I learned my lesson from the last time & my food was ready & piping hot when I get there. I added a salad at the last minute, I know ‘who does that right?’ & impressively enough it was ready lickety-​split & to boot the staff was very helpful in accommodating my last minute request!!! (Sweet)
Ok. Next time… PIZZA it is!!!
