We lived in Surprise 6 years ago and would frequent Rays Pizza on Grand regularly. The price was fair and the pizza similar to what I experienced when I worked in NYC. I remember they spun and threw their dough up in the air. Awesome.
We moved back to Surprise this summer (2016). In November, we ordered a pepperoni pizza and wings from Rays on Grand. Unfortunately, the pizza changed dramatically and tasted like something purchased from Costco or Sam's Club. The dough, which I believe is the heart of a pizza pie, had turned from a thinner crust to a cheese and tomato sauce on a piece of bread.
After eating a slice, I called Rays on Grand and spoke with the manager about the pie. I mentioned the dough is nothing like it used to be. Too much bread and not enough taste. The manager on duty stated nothing has changed in their recipe/process, but it was not the same. I said it was their business and this only a suggestion from a previous lover of Rays Pizza on Grand.
Will be looking for a new Go To pizza parlor in Surprise.
