Greenwich Village
"
Ray's Pizza, and its many variations such as 'Ray's Original Pizza', 'Famous Ray's Pizza' and 'World-Famous Original Ray's Pizza', are the names of dozens of
pizzerias in the
New York City area that are generally completely independent (a few have multiple locations) but may have similar menus, signs, and logos. Ralph Cuomo opened the first Ray's Pizza, at 27
Prince Street in
Little Italy, in 1959, named after his nickname 'Raffie'. In the 1960s he briefly owned a second Ray's Pizza, but sold it to Rosolino Mangano in 1964. ... The confusion of various Ray's Pizzas is featured in a gag in the 1997 episode of
The Simpsons '
The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson'. ... In the episode '
The Maid' in the final season of
Seinfeld, Kramer gets lost and calls Jerry for help. He tries to use a Ray's Pizza to describe where he is, but there is confusion over which one he might be seeing. ..."
