Ray's Pizza in NYC - endorsed by U2, Di Caprio, Wahlberg. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by MDE

I was just watching Elf with my kids, in the movie they mentioned about an amazing Pizza joint on 11th Avenue in NYC. I'm sceptical any time I hear pizza mentioned in a movie now, so I decided to have a quick look into which place, and it appears Ray's Pizza was the place they were on about. I see this place has also featured in Sex and the City and is endorsed by U2, Di Caprio and Wahlberg.

Here is their instagram

Wahlberg & Di Caprio regular customers at Ray's Pizza

I haven't see any pedo-related symbols or red flags yet, so this could be a completely innocent Pizza place. I thought this still could be worth looking nonetheless.

Ray's is no-frills grab a slice pizza joint that's been around since the 50's - I put this OP firmly in the no way category. I've been there dozens of times (to all locations) and it's not even a place anyone would linger, a few locations.. Not a bad slice if you like classic NYC pie but there are way better places.

The only Ray's from the 50's is the one on Prince.

The one in Elf was the one on 6th Ave and 11th street.

Same. No way. Normie foottraffic at all hours alone makes this impossible. Many of them are holes in the wall and don't even have chairs.

This is something that should have been considered when looking at Comet Ping Pong, but people seem not to understand that.

I guess saying it's impossible was coming on a bit strong, but the front is truly amazing. I ate at Ray's pizzas all throuout my teens and 20s for drunken slices. Not the best, but they were just there. Mostly Mexican and minority men as employees.

So, to say it's impossible is naive. However, I would be amazed if something comes up, which is weird bc nothing amazes me anymore. Everything is worth looking into.
