The one on 6th and 11th is my favorite too. It even has a sign that says
it is not affiliated with any other pizza restaurant bearing "The same
or similar name". But if you read all the newspaper articles framed on
the wall there, you'll come across at least one in which the owner of
that very Ray's says there's no Ray at his place, or anywhere else for
that matter. He said he thought there may have been a "Ray" somewhere in
Brooklyn once, but he wasn't too sure.

Also, "Rei" means "King" in Italian, and the author of that article 
speculates that maybe that's what everyone was thinking when they named
their place "Ray's".
