I went with the traditional cheese slice. As far as authenticity goes, Ray’s is legit. The semi crispy nature of the under crust and at the edges, combined with the gooey cheese/sauce combo in the middle harken back to the pizza I used to eat in Manhattan and Queens in the 80s and 90s. Maybe it’s nostalgia or the fact that this is a pizza in the Valley that isn’t artesian or Neapolitan, but I think I’m going to go a little bit higher than others. It’s a solid 5.5. Would I drive 30 miles for it? Probably not. But if I’m in the neighborhood and there is a football game on, I would definitely stop.
