Restaurant Review: Famous Original Ray’s Pizza

Details: Located at 831 7th Ave, New York, NY 10019. The official site is http://www.rayspizza.com/

The best part about this place is its location. If you’re in Times Square and you want a slice of pizza, this is one of the few places to go. The pizza is pretty good actually, slightly better than average. Unfortunately, this place charges around three dollars for a slice, which is blasphemy in terms of pizza pricing in New York City. The grand majority of pizzerias in New York City follow the rule that a single slice of regular pizza will not cost more than a single fare on the subway, which is two dollars and seventy-five cents at the moment. At three dollars, Famous Original Ray’s Pizza has broken that rule. This rule obviously doesn’t include upscale Italian restaurants, just the regular Joe places that sell pizza by the slice.

Score: 6/10

Restaurant Review: D Napoli Pizza

Details: Located at 906 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10022. Official site is http://dnapolipizza.com/

Not much to say about this place other than that it’s a decent place to get a slice of pizza in Midtown East. A regular slice is around three dollars. Everything else costs a little more. I got a cheeseburger with fries from here… bad decision. Just get the pizza because the hamburger was about as good as something from McDonald’s, maybe a little worse. They have a deal where its about six dollars for two regular slices and a drink. I usually come here for their white pizza, which is all right.

Overall, a decent place for pizza.

Restaurant Review: Singas Famous Pizza

Details: Located around New York City, though not in Manhattan. The official site is http://www.singaspizzas.com/

Singas Pizza is a pizzeria that specializes in making ten inch pies that are made when you order. They don’t sell pizza by the slice. They also have sandwiches, pasta, and chicken wings, but it’s the pizza that you should get here.

They have a variety of toppings, pretty much everything you can get at most pizzerias in this price range. Pizza pies generally price from around seven to over ten dollars depending on what toppings you get. As for the chicken wings, pasta, and sandwiches, everything goes into the pizza oven for cooking and prices at around

The pies are good. There’s nothing unique about their recipe, but there’s something delicious about a freshly made pie versus a reheated slice. Additionally, the pizza pans they use to bake the pizza almost always guarantees a crispy pizza, which is nice. The sandwiches, pasta, and chicken wings are okay. I’ve tried them all and they weren’t great. If you feel like gambling, then you should those items. Otherwise, I’d just get the pizza.

Overall, a good place for pizza. It’s a nice to get a freshly made pizza once in a while versus the individual, reheated slices that you normally find in this city. The only downside is that you have to order a whole ten inch pie — which isn’t overly big — if you want try this pizza out.

Score: 6.8/10
