Word on the street
What locals are saying
Ray's Pizza has quickly earned a loyal following on James Island as a go-to NY-style slice spot, with locals — including transplants from Brooklyn and New Jersey — calling it the best or closest-to-authentic New York pizza in the Charleston area. The grandma pizza, garlic knots, and hot honey pepperoni are recurring standouts, and reviewers consistently praise the value compared to pricier Charleston competitors. A small minority found it merely 'okay,' and the limited seating makes it primarily a takeout and delivery operation.
