Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza in Manchester

First time at Rudy's and we couldn't be happier. Staff is really friendly and helpful. We had 2 Cinghiale pizzas and one Margherita, they were absolutely fantastic, perfectly cooked and really light, tasted amazing. For dessert we had 2 tiramisu and one pannacotta cheesecake, both delicious. Total price was surprising in a good way, you spend much more for worse pizzas. We will definitely go back!

10/10. Best Pizza I’ve tried to date! Cant wait to visit again 😋

The chips in pepper sauce were delicious, the service was not up to par (the girl initially brought another dish), the atmosphere with the live concert was very engaging.

Refined cuisine with exceptional flavors. Bravo to the chef!

great food. Lovely thin bases, quality ingredients, fast wait time. the atmosphere is lovely, unique interior. After some time it did start to get quite noisy however it was a Saturday at peak time. I recommend if you like Italian style pizza.

Pizza that ruins all other pizzas. Great service. Would recommend going to the restaurant rather than ordering from Deliveroo, not a fault of the restaurant of course.

Quick fast and tasty with a great atmosphere

We called in here on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but they found us a table. The service was quick and friendly. The menu plus the Specials board means that there is plenty of choice for pizza lovers. We shared the 'Nduja pizza which was cooked perfectly. The olives for a starter were generously portioned. All in all a very good experience.

Our server Fotis was fantastic. Suggested a pizza for me and my husband and took excellent care of us both. Will 100% be back

This place is always busy because the food is so good and very reasonable prices. I’ve been here multiple times and I will continue to go when I am in the area. I would recommend booking as it does seem to fill up quickly and they don’t often have space for walk ins depending on the time

I don’t say this lightly—Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana serves the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. From the very first bite, it was clear that this place is on a whole different level when it comes to authentic Neapolitan pizza. The dough is next-level: soft, light, and slightly chewy with that perfect charred crust from the wood-fired oven. You can tell it’s been proofed the proper way—fluffy but never heavy. It’s the kind of base that could hold its own without any toppings (though the toppings are incredible too). I tried one of their Funghi and Caramelised onion pizzas and it was perfectly balanced. The tomato sauce was rich and fresh, the mozzarella melted beautifully, and every ingredient tasted like it was chosen with care. Simple, high-quality, and absolutely packed with flavor. This is what pizza is supposed to taste like. You can tell they take their craft seriously—there’s real passion behind every pizza coming out of that oven. The staff were lovely too—welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of what they’re serving. If you’re a pizza lover (or even if you’re not), Rudy’s is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll keep thinking about when pizza is involved.

The staff here absolutely made our experience 5*! Sadly my granny knocked over a glass and cut herself but the team were quick to respond, got her a new drink, moved our table, and did a thorough accident report all whilst being smiley and super accommodating We had interactions with at least 5 different staff members during our dinner and each and every one of them were so pleasant and helpful :) we will definitely be back and my granny will be better behaved next time lol

Awesome food, fun vibe, and super friendly service. We had to wait about 35 minutes for a table, but it was totally worth it—the pizza was a hit with everyone

A little loud inside and chaotic, but overall I heard my friends well enough, and the food was banging

I ordered a pizza via Uber Eats at 15:05 and my food arrived at 15:26 completely cold. 20 minutes is not enough time to prepare, cook and deliver a pizza and it be cold so I assume Rudys had given me an old one that had been sitting out a while. If I’m paying you £15 for a pizza I’d expect it to be freshly made? Uber Eats won’t even process a refund so I’m just left with £15 less and a pizza I don’t want to eat- also I don’t like that you don’t even slice the pizzas you send out for delivery. What a joke

Great food and great service. Liam is the best waiter you have - Alex

Pizza encantadora. Todos nosotros vegetarianos, y yo soy vegano. Todos estábamos contentos con nuestras elecciones. Muy sabroso. El personal era muy amable y servicial.

Always amazing! Food and service Fantastic!

First time going there far food but it’s was absolutely amazing really tasty u can see them cook your pizza I highly recommend it to anyone one

Came back to Rudys after not visiting in years and was super disappointed in the Vegan selection. What I did have was nice, but not a single dip on the menu is vegan! Places like Nells and Double Zero are smashing it, even my meat eater friends agree. Hope to see more vegan stuff added soon at Rudys!

Definitely make a reservation...best pizza

Lovely food good service, I personally found it quite noisy and echo but if you like a bustling atmosphere it would be great!

A very good pizza with Italian ingredients. I definitely recommend it!

Didn't let us my daughter and me. No child friendly.

Even an hour of waiting but it's worth it! Everything is delicious, great service, even in terms of allergens. Full recommendation 👌

First time here, pizzas are amazing❤️ definitely recommend

You should try that restaurant. When we visited the restaurant for the second time there was a 200 metre queue. We shocked about that and then realized it was for the theater adjacent. However the situation was not different than outside. Almost no place to sit. We sat a shared table and had a dinner. Delicious buratta and pizzas. Lovely.

¡Sin gluten aquí! Llegó después de reservar esperando una opción sin gluten. Solo para que me digan después de llegar que no sirven GF pero podría tomar una ensalada! Muy decepcionado 😞

Very nice Pizza’s, our server Hope was very helpful, welcoming and kind.

Very authentic and very friendly staff The food was great 👍🏽

My son and I popped in for lunch today, I had a conversation with a lovely waitress who was asking how my day was going. I told her I'd fallen over and had a long journey home, when we were paying the bill, she offered to pay for our desert!! Blown away by her kindness! Food, service and atmosphere amazing and reasonably priced. Thanks for The experience.

Best pizza I've had in ages - well worth the trip. I'd been told many times that I should try Rudy's, took the opportunity when I was in Manchester on my own recently, so quickly got a single seat at the bar with a great view of the pizzaiolo throwing the dough around. Service was intermittent but lovely and chatty, and the food was amazing. I had the salsiccia pizza and it was easily as good as any I've had in Italy. The glass of wine was so-so, but not expensive. Overall a great choice for quick, tasty food in a buzzing environment.

Very good pizza, very good service, beautiful place

Pizza Perfect The service is very slow, but this may be due to the large number of guests I recommend !!!

Rudy’s is a great Pizza restaurant. Lovely pizza and staff. However, since becoming gluten free it is such a shame Rudy’s do not cater for anything GF. I understand particularly with pizza and cross contamination it is difficult. However there are now many Italian restaurants that do cater for GF very well. I would hope that Rudys will follow

My favourite pizza place, I go there every time i have a work trip to Manchester. Great food, service and atmosphere.

I go to rudys all the time. It’s my favourite place to get an authentic Italian pizza in the UK. Affordable prices. Less than £15 for a pizza and a drink. Staff were so kind and friendly.

First time at Rudy's... amazing pizza!!! I'd say the best outside of Italy! Good value too.

Nice urban-feeling spot, solid food, good service, and a convenient location. The pizza was good overall. Not the greatest I've ever had, but a decent pie size and taste. Personal favorite: Triple Pep had a nice blend of flavor as the savory pepperonis were complemented really well with the honey.

We popped in here before a concert, staff were great popped our order in quickly and food came fast and hot ! Pizza was cooked to perfection.

Excelente pizza y servicio. Realmente fantástico, todo el personal era muy amable y servicial. Harriet nos sirvió y fue excepcional. La pizza es lo mejor de Manchester y más allá, excelentes ingredientes y ambiente. El original y todavía el mejor! Gracias por la reserva de última hora.

My daughter and I had a fantastic experience, food and service was brilliant and she even got to make her own pizza and watch it cooking. Even though the staff were busy they couldn’t have been more patient, highlight of our trip into town.

The restaurant was busy, so we had to wait 30 minutes for a table, but messaged us when a table became available. The wait was absolutely worth it! Are pizzas arrived in just 5 minutes and were among the best I've ever had!"

It was a lovely place for a fancy pizza, but the venue was too loud, I could barely hear the people next to me speak. This is not somewhere to go if you are hard of hearing! Surely, there must be a way to create a more ambient atmosphere. Otherwise food was good and staff were nice.

Undoubtedly one of the best pizzas. Very nice place

First time here but certainly not the last. The service was excellent and the food was amazing, best pizza I've ever had.

Primera visita y se sorprendieron de lo ocupado que estaba para un domingo, pero me encantó el ambiente y la gente mirando. La camarera (nueva) era brillante, servicial y eficiente, ella era genial para charlar también y muy amable, pero no en su cara. Nos encantaron nuestras pizzas, ambas tenían ingredientes adicionales, pero todavía sentían que necesitaban un poco más, se sentían un poco desnudos. Sin embargo, sabroso, fresco y lleno. Buenas bebidas y volveremos.

Discovered this on a recent trip to Manchester and was blown away! Really good pizza with generous toppings (unlike the somewhat prevalent trend for scant coverage) served by lovely friendly staff. Super buzzing atmosphere. I’ve found out that it’s a chain. This is how good a chain CAN be. Watch out Pizza Express, you have a long way to go to be this good!

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!!

Service was on point throughout! Great food at decent prices! Cannot recommend enough!!

We had a great experience with Leoni, thanks for looking after us!

Great pizzas and puddings. Nice service. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic Pizza. Good vibe and friendly staff. Packed at 530pm on a Wednesday is a good sign. Only note was desserts were a tad ok, rather than great; but we didn’t go for the desserts! 🍕

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...

Fantastic visit earlier this week! Beth is an absolute credit and made our experience completely amazing ❤️

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

We have been to Rudy's before, pizzas have always been good and had an enjoyable meal. Tonight was very busy. Had to wait over half an hour for our pizzas. Unfortunately we were seated on the counter just at the side of the service counter, opposite the pizza oven. We had a very stressful meal as the man directing the distribution of the pizzas was constantly shouting at the staff shouting table xx was starving, there's a very angry woman etc etc. He was shouting all the time. It was very busy and somewhat chaotic but you shouldn't seat customers so close to the fray. Our meal was spoiled. We were very disappointed by it all and all the stress and shouting.

Vegan Pizza is still pretty good but has become rather expensive recently. They've also stopped their partnership with runaway brewery for Rudys pale and replaced it with the much inferior brooklan ipa. Standards seem to be slipping and I'm not sure I'll bother in the future

Only pizza, I’m not a big fan of pizza but everything is fine here.

Excellent pizzas, staff and prices.

Grifth was a sound guy, thanks for great service

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

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

Everything is excellent best pizza in Manchester

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!!
