OUR STORY

est. 1962

HOW IT STARTED

It all began in 1962 with a single turn of the key on Ray’s first Pizza Rays food truck. After long hours at his day job, Ray would hit the streets, bringing his mouth-watering pizzas and submarines to local ballgames and community events. His food truck quickly became a sensation, loved by everyone who got a taste.

 

Before long, the demand was off the charts—lines stretched far beyond the truck, and Ray knew he had something special. That’s when Pizza Rays Submarines found a permanent home, where the flavors kept people coming back for more!

THE INSPIRATION

Pizza Rays began with my dad, who built a legacy with passion and hard work. As a kid, I grew up in the restaurant business, washing dishes, peeling potatoes, and learning the ropes with my father.

 

From prepping fresh ingredients to crafting

scratch-made soups, gravies, and desserts, he taught us the importance of pride in everything we do. He instilled in me the value of delivering nothing but the best, and the work ethic to make it happen—lessons I've carried with me through every

step of my life.

MADE OLD SCHOOL, THE RAY WAY

My dad’s vision was simple but powerful: keep it "Old School." Every dish was made with only the freshest ingredients, scratch-prepared, and served with expert care. From submarine rolls baked fresh daily to pizzas made with hand-crafted dough, blended cheeses, and his signature Italian tomato sauce, his commitment to consistency and quality built a loyal following. Customers returned time and again, not just for the food, but for the experience. This was the essence of my father’s philosophy—"Old School, the Ray Way."

After selling my luxury home electronics business in 2023, following 22 incredible years of success, I felt the call for a new direction. It was time to revive the legendary business created by a legendary man: Pizza Rays Submarine Sandwiches. Now, it’s my mission to carry that torch forward, honoring his legacy while reigniting the passion that made Pizza Rays a name people remember and love.
