Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza in Manchester

Came to Rudy’s on a busy Saturday afternoon. Ordered drinks and pizza fairly quickly by very friendly staff. Then had to wait for a long time for our pizza to arrive. So drank my wine, chatted but as I was sat nearest to the pizza oven, back kitchen and serving hatch I couldn’t help but watch the running of the restaurant. First I noticed the pizza man kept putting his paddle down on the floor- then in the oven. Ok it’s a hot oven I’m sure my pizza would burn off any dirt from chef’s shoes. Then I couldn’t help notice the staff one in particularly. Hair not tied up, kept getting her phone out so touching it, then hand on exposed waist then wait for it- picking up ham and rocket and placing it on pizzas. Trust me to have ordered that one! Felt lovely eating it. Luckily not much topping to worry about!!

Después de mucha publicidad mi primera visita fue un poco decepcionante. El lugar es industrial minimalista, que es adecuado para una ciudad industrial del norte como Manchester, por lo que comienza bien. El menú tiene una buena selección y me decidí por mi pitza y bebida. La bebida era agradable, pero la pizza era un poco decepcionante, sentí que para controlar los costos los ingredientes se han reducido, sin duda un 100% menos de lo que llevo normalmente. La falta de coberturas redujo el sabor de la pizza, siendo la base el artículo abrumador. Lo sentimos, pero por favor añada 50 p a su precio y aumente los ingredientes! Lo siento, pero mi punto de vista...

Excelente pizzaria , muito bem recebidos apesar de bastante ocupados. A pizza era muito boa com variedade e os funcionários muito simpáticos.

Amazing food, flavourful and delicious. Worth waiting 👍🏿

Griff was absolutely wonderful and made our experience really enjoyable. The food was lovely and all staff were exceptional :)

Nice place with delicious pizza and friendly staff

Very nice spot and exceptionally great pizza and good service in general.

Such a lovely place. Great value for money and really authentic pizza. It’s quite busy so I’d recommend booking a table but the atmosphere is still really lovely.

Un viaje a Manchester no está completo sin una visita a Rudy’s. La pizza es divina incluso para un vegano. Me senté en el mostrador para que pudiera ver todo lo que estaba pasando - amable, servicio rápido y comida encantadora.

Gran ubicación para el teatro de la ópera. Entraron durante un período ocupado, pero nos encajaron durante una hora. El servicio era genial y la comida era aún mejor. Regresaremos.

gorgeous vibes, amazing pizza and sooooo cheap ?! love it

First of all, the staff were 👍 👌 GREAT they were kind and we accidentally booked the wrong day but they still gave us a table! Pizza was very filling, delicious and had great customisation.So, you could have the perfect pizza ( I suggest triple pepperoni.) Nice interior and design aswell. So Rudys .... CHEFS KISS

Amazing food and atmosphere. Louis was great and bubbly. Thank you xxx

Rudy’s Pizza never disappoints - best pizza in Manchester! The atmosphere is amazing as well.

Everything is excellent best pizza in Manchester

Brilliant experience amazing food and excellent staff. Tom was superb & made my mum's birthday really special. Thank you so much 🙏

Great food and atmosphere, staff were great.

Always a fantastic pizza from Rudys, I love the atmosphere and the staff are so welcoming and fabulous.

Had a wonderful time here, and the manager Stavvy was particularly lovely. Very attentive, polite and made us feel very welcome. Great food and great staff, Stavvy treated us so well. Will definitely be coming back here again

The food is delicious and the service is very excellent. The waiting time is short.

My boyfriend and I came here on the 6th of January and came back again on the 8th during our trip to Manchester, as it was such an unreal place! I have been meaning to write this review for a while and it completely slipped my mind, I also lost the receipt with the QR code on it, BUT I wanted to thank Robyn and Chantelle for their amazing service, they were so so lovely and they deserve high praise for how memorable they made our experience there. Also the nicest pizza we have ever had in our lives.

I'm glad I found this place. Pizza was superb

Pizza was great, Lucas and Freya were even greater. I know pizza, I would recommend

Great food, service and ambience as always!

Fantastic food, was hoping for authentic fresh pizzas that weren’t too heavy and this definitely hit the spot. A server in a black top and camo cargo pants that was working on the 2nd February during the lunch slot gave a somewhat passive aggressive service however when asked a simple question which was saddening to the entire experience.

Decent pizza but not enough toppings :(

Visited on a Thursday night on the off chance of a quick bite to eat before a work event across the road. We only had 45 mins to grab something to eat before the event. When we arrived it was packed. We asked the waiter the ETA on food and explained our situation. He advised he would have food in front of us in 25 mins. We were seated at the bar overlooking the fresh pizzas being made. Our order was taken immediately and arrived fresh to us within 15 mins of arrival allowing us to eat, pay and dash within 45 mins. Super impressed with the customer service, the food was absolutely gorgeous too! Would recommend this place for sure!

The pizza is amazing, however they are not answering their phone and Rudy the dog is dead which is kind of a bummer. Stavros did a good job though

Louis made our first visit to Rudi's very special - we'll definitely be back!

Server was great, food is always awesome, quick turn around especially at lunch time but FOH looked like they had been dragged out of bed. Took no notice of the door opening and barely looked up when I said hello. She was glued to her phone . Ignored me and my group when we left too even after we said thanks and good bye. Why would anyone come back?

I recently visited Rudy‘s pizza and had an amazing experience. The service was exceptional with a really lovely waiter called Louis who made the visit even more enjoyable, despite the busy atmosphere the food and drinks were served promptly and everything was delicious. Overall it was a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great pizza and excellent service. Big shout out to the staff there, especially our servers Tom and Louis/louie they all really went above and beyond to make the experience amazing for all the customers.

The food was excellent. Service could've been quicker. We did visit just before Christmas though, and it appeared they were prioritising delivery orders.

We visited for our anniversary and Saffron was our waitress and made sure we had everything we needed and we were well looked after. Stavross made our experience extra special and had great food recommendations. The pizzas are amazing and the homemade tiramisu is the best I’ve ever had, will definitely come again and can’t recommend more

This is my first bad experience at Rudy’s unfortunately, it’s usually been good. Ordered food for Takeaway and was told to wait outside, they would call my name when ready, and that it should be 10 to 15 minutes. After half an hour of waiting outside (it’s -3° tonight) still no word of any pizza and nobody had called my name to say it was ready as they said they would after half an hour and asking if it was ready, it turns out the pizza had been ready for 20 minutes, but nobody had bothered to tell me which meant that the pizza should be sat out waiting for 20 minutes. The pizza was luke warm and had gone really dry which it usually isn’t. As mentioned usually a good experience, but unfortunately, on this occasion, it was a letdown and a very dry pizza, no doubt because it was sat under a heater for 20 minutes while no one bothered to tell me it was ready.

Really lovely pizza. Excellent service and good value. Highly recommended.

I just want to say thank you to the amazing staff at the Peter St restaurant in Manchester. My fiancé and I ordered a pizza through Deliveroo and it never arrived. So we decided to walk to the restaurant to find out more information and to inform them about what had happened. Not only were they supportive and helpful but they made another order there-and-then for us for no charge. This was very kind and greatly appreciated by both of us. The pizza was delicious and we loved it! Best wishes, Tom and EJ

We had dinner here on the evening of December 31st on New Year's Eve. Excellent, really good pizza, excellent service, the girl in the room Giorgia was very good and made herself helpful and kind. Well done everyone!

First time at Rudy’s yesterday evening with my bestfriend and we really enjoyed it. We were served by Nico who was very friendly and attentive but also added to the authenticity with his Italian which fulfilled our experience. The food and drinks came very fast and were both delicious but also well presented. We loved the atmosphere as it reminded us of our holiday in Italy and I’m sure it will be even better in summer! Once again, thank you to our waiter Nico who was very patient and knowledgeable with the menu and recommendations! Cannot wait to return!

It's not a pizza it's Rubber 😡

Called here by chance late afternoon on New Years Eve. Although no booking we got lucky and were shown straight to a great table in the canopy area. Having been here many times before we ordered our favourite Pizzas and a bottle of red wine (Montepulciano). The food was amazing as ever and the service was great. Even though new branches are showing up all over greater Manchester this one in the City remains our favourite and long May it continue. Ciao.

My favorite pizzeria in Manchester. Especially the one in Ancoats, but it's also great here, the guy who reserved the table for us was super friendly!

It always looks busy but there is plenty of space inside so don't be fooled!!! Best pizza we have ever eaten in Manchester, hands down. Loved the seasonal options and also that the menu is kept simple so the service is super quick. The triple pepperoni is a must and do not overlook the salads!! They are well dressed and plentiful. They will also happily provide boxes so you can take leftovers home. We will be back soon!!

I know most reviews are often complaints about food or staff, but this is one about the amazing kindness showed to me and my son tonight. Booked for 3 for my birthday. Unfortunately my husband not well enough following recent treatment to attend, arrived and apologised about only needing a table for 2 at such a busy time of year, explaining why. Following our lovely meal I was overwhelmed by the generous gesture on our bill. It's been an incredibly difficult time recently but the kindness shown by strangers tonight has reminded me how many wonderful people out there. I hope this is read by the people concerned and know it meant more to me than you could possibly realise. Thank you .

Really amazing atmosphere and great pizza mist give a try

Pizza was good. Waitress was fun

Visited for a family pre-Christmas meal. Service was sharp and friendly - despite being very busy. The pizzas were, as usual, absolutely excellent and served quickly straight from the oven.

Busy which is fine if you like that, but off-putting otherwise. Just before Christmas so perhaps not indicative of the usual experience.

This place was great! One of the best pizza's I've ever had . Lovely setting and lovely staff. I would definitely recommend this place if pizza is your thing. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Usually excellent but the last visit wasn't just as satisfying. Firstly we were sat in line of a draft between the rear and front door, basically, the delivery guy's used the rear door to collect their pizzas which was every 5 minutes or so. Also my pizza arrived at our table and was luke warm which isn't usually the case.

Best Pizza, I feel like I’m in Naples when I go this place.

Had a pizza there today and honestly I wasn't expecting much, it's not really my sort of decor and the prices were pretty good so I was shocked to have a delicious pizza and fresh lemonade. Our waiter was lovely and made sure we were happy, I definitely recommend!

The pizzas at this renowned pizzeria in Manchester are indeed delicious. However, a far more important issue is about the service: we were dining for two and ordered two pizzas, yet one of them arrived much earlier than the other one. I don’t believe in any culture this would be considered appropriate for one person to eat while the other waits. This restaurant, which operates on reservations and is fully booked at all times, seems to have low service quality after gaining itself a name…

My 3rd time going there and i will keep going. Best pizza in town

Definitely the worst experience in my life, Racist & Rude employees!! Soo disappointed.

Yes!!! It’s better at the source. Way better than the one I’ve been to in London. Food was great and the service levels were even better. Big love to the team there. I had the calabrese👌

Here we go! Fasten your seat belts, let’s go! Or this? - On the highway to happiness 🤩 I didn't know there was an Italian embassy in Manchester... We cried over pizzas it was a banger!!! Thank you for the trip, thank you for the emotion.

Best pizza ever!! Highly recommend it.

These pizzas awaken my Italian origins in me, I transform into Zola Prime and I taste this wonder while dribbling the entire penalty area. Arriving at the penalty spot, the wonderful dough of my Neapolitan pizza takes me right into the top corner. Final score: Rudy’s 1-0

Great service from the Australian waitress, exceptional food and fantastic atmosphere!

Pizza was average at best. Very soggy in the middle. Waitress dropped dirty cutlery on me, no apology.

Amazing time thanks to Dan, he was absolutely spot on with service, couldn’t have asked for someone better to wait our table, lovely guy! Food was unreal too as always

Pumpkins special pizza was delicious 😋

Hands down.. They deserve 7 Stars. Rudy’s Pizza on Peter Street is a must visit for foodies! Me and my family and I stopped by during our trip from Singapore. We tried the Triple Pepperoni and was amazed how well it was done. Sorry for the last piece photo because it's so good till I forget to take a better picture of it. It was perfectly wood fire bake with that signature Neapolitan style: soft, airy crusts and top-quality ingredients especially the tomatoes sauce or something. The casual vibe and friendly staff made the experience even better. If you’re in Manchester, this is a must visit place at Rudy’s. We’ll definitely return next time! 🍕 Thanks and keep up the good work guys.! ❤️

Wow wow wow 🤩 One of the best pizzas in my short life so far Great job guys

Always good! Friendly service and great pizza. Perfect!

Best pepperoni pizza i have ever had. The place was packed, we had to wait around 1 hour for our pizzas (big group with 11 of us) but the wait was def worth it. I wasn't crazy about the garlic bread, also i dont love the concept of cutting your own pizza, kind of a hassle i really dont need.

Rudy’s Pizza on Peter Street is a must-visit for pizza lovers! My wife and I stopped by during our trip from Australia, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We tried the Triple Pepperoni, which had amazing flavors, although we wouldn’t have minded a touch more pepperoni. We also ordered the Garlic and Cheese pizza, which was incredible—perfectly cheesy, garlicky, and indulgent. The pizzas were beautifully cooked with that signature Neapolitan style: soft, airy crusts and top-quality ingredients. The casual vibe and friendly staff made the experience even better. If you’re in Manchester, do yourself a favor and grab a table at Rudy’s. We’ll definitely return next time! 🍕

I had an amazing experience at Rudy's Pizza Shop, thanks to Georgia's exceptional hospitality! She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, from her warm greeting to her attentive service throughout the visit. Georgia’s friendly demeanor and genuine care made the experience even better. The pizza was fantastic, but her service truly made the visit unforgettable. Thank you, Georgia, for making us feel so welcome! Highly recommend Rudy's and Georgia’s outstanding service."

Rudy’s Peter Street has been serving me soaky pizza for 3 out of 4 times of my visit These 3 pictures are from 3 different visits from 2023-2024 where they’re all below Rudy’s standards. The dough has been wet and oily Portland street branch is much tastier so I’d recommend people to go there instead

Superb service and fantastic pizzas

The atmosphere was great and very lively, The pizza was amazing very original one of the best pizzas in Manchester.

My partner and I love this place. The pizzas are amazing and the staff are always so good. We had aisha as a server and despite her saying she was quite new she was an amazing host. We will be returning (as always!) 😃

Las pizzas son realmente baratas para los operadores y es muy decepcionante ver a Rudy’s ofreciendo una pizza tan deficiente por un precio premium. Base de mala calidad , coberturas escatimadas , servicio desorganizado con uno de nuestros partidos sin recibir su comida. No vale la pena el dinero - ir a otro lugar.

Very good pizzas (a little too little for our taste), pasta and fresh food! Regarding the service, it was 7:00 p.m. when we arrived and we had to wait at the bar for a table for 30 minutes. No one offered us a drink, which was a bit of a shame. The setting is very nice and the waitresses are very nice :) I recommend!!

The most delicious pizza I have ever eaten, very delicious and in the Neapolitan way

We had a booking for 4 on a Sunday evening. This is a busy restaurant. It’s noisy. Basic wine selection. My daughter who is 19 was asked for ID however she ordered only a soft drink. Timings for food were good. When I visited the toilet a man came out of the ladies. I think the signage needs to be clearer. Tiramisu lacked flavour. Brownie was excellent.

Great place great service very busy on a weekend recommend booking a table if eating, tasty pizza and great cocktails.

Un tiempo increíble. A pesar de que el restaurante estaba ocupado el camarero, Toby, nos hizo sentir muy bienvenido y fue muy atento. Sin duda volvería de nuevo. Precios muy razonables también.

The restaurant is really well decorated and the staff were great. It was quite busy when we went but the staff were really attentive, the food and drinks were fresh and delicious. Great customer service and excellent food, I will definitely recommend to others and will be returning again.

Superb pizza baked right in front of you. Drinks and service are also top level with a friendly staff.

Visited Rudy's last night with a group of 16. The service at Rudy's is excellent. Our waiter Tom was polite and attentive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience. The food here is absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening out. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Tom + the team!

spectacular experience- specifically because of ethan our server. he was beyond lovely and deserves a massive raise. food was also literally incredible?? felt like a fever dream how perfect our dinner was.

Very busy pizza place, so if you want a cozy and calm place it isn't the best during the weekend. The pizza was very good (got the mushroom one) and they have special pizza that changes during the year. The price is very good compared with the quality. Service has slow and a little chaotic.

Popped in for a quick dinner. Nice staff, fast seating. Awesome pizza! Very tasty and fresh. Came within minutes. We took our leftovers home and still enjoyed it later that night, cold.

Recently, we visited this restaurant to try Neapolitan pizza, and it exceeded our expectations. First of all, it was very successful in terms of price-performance; we felt that we got more than our money’s worth. The pizzas were perfectly prepared, and the dough’s flavor really stood out. The ingredients were very fresh and provided a rich aroma, with the mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce blending beautifully to give the pizza a perfect taste. The attentiveness and warmth of the staff made our experience even more enjoyable. They were friendly and attentive when taking our orders and serving our food, making us feel comfortable and valued. Additionally, the atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant; it had a calm and cozy ambiance, which added to the enjoyment of our meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Neapolitan pizza. It’s the ideal spot for those looking to try delicious pizzas made with quality ingredients and for anyone seeking an affordable yet satisfying experience.

Really nice pizza, can't go wrong with this place.

Excellent pizza, waiting system delayed our appointment. Will return…

Very good margerita pizzas. Was wonderfully served by Tom there.

TRIPLE PEPPERONI feels sweet at first, but it turns out that chilli honey is added, which makes delicious PEPPERONI feel so salty. MARGHERITA is relatively mediocre and needs a piece of basil leaf. Good service attitude.

Nice staff and excellent pizza.

Excelente pizza, excelente servicio! Este lugar es muy concurrido, animado y vibrante. Esta es una pizza tan buena como he comido, excelente - volveremos si alguna vez estamos de vuelta en Manchester.

Always love meeting friends in here! It’s ideal to book before hand as it gets busy very quickly, but service is fab and quick. I had the autumn special ‘GORGONZOLA + CAPOCOLLO’ - amazing! Would recommend. If you’re not too full for dessert - the tiramisu is divine.

Visité aquí con mi hija dios y fue horrendo, tuve que levantarme yo mismo para pedir un menú infantil que no tenían, ni tenían ninguna bebida infantil lo cual fue decepcionante pero como escuché tantas buenas críticas quería comer aquí así que le pedí una pizza margarita y yo una pizza pepperoni, y honestamente puedo decir que esta fue la peor pizza que he probado. Estaba nadando en greese y era delgado y descuidado. Honestamente tan decepcionado. Tampoco había nada para cortar la pizza. El camarero era agradable sin embargo no tenía idea de lo que estaba haciendo, creo que la dirección necesita pasar tiempo con su personal

Our booking has been cancelled the very last minute. Poor management by the restaurant. The booking has been made for 10 people and never before have we got a call from them to say we can’t come in.

What it says: True Napolitano pizza. Only did takeaway as no tables were available (even though it was completely empty when I walked in, weird). But yes, proper pizza, which you can then adulterate with a long list of options if you're starving, I suppose.

A really great place to eat and great pizzas

The best service ever! So much love to the front man! I didn’t get the name but that guy is the best, thank you. Oh and the pizza is the best in the UK

We had a table of 8 on Tuesday night, the pizza was outstanding but the service was better, what a great team! Thank you to the lovely girl who served the table of 8 by the door!

Ordered the margarita pizza with buffalo cheese. It was ok. I’d say 2.5/5. I’ve tried the OG ones back in Italy so this one was ok for me. The pizza was a bit soggy cause the sauce wasn’t holding onto the dough compared to the ones I had in Italy. Tiramisu was better than the pizza tbh. It was 3/5. I don’t drink so I really enjoyed the pasca mandarina (0% alcohol). Perfect light and refreshing drink after a heavy meal.

Tuvimos una mesa de 8 en la puerta de Rudy’s Pizza en una noche normal de martes! La pizza era excepcional, el alma encantadora que tomó nuestro pedido era brillante! Cometí un error pidiendo una pizza, no hay duda de que la pizza fue reemplazada! sin duda visitar Rudys en Peters street. Un gran equipo.
