Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza in Leeds

This place is one of the best Pizza restaurants and they make the regular pizzas a bit out there so kids can try something new while having what they like. The service here couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere had a relaxing friendly vibe to enjoy a chat and a pizza. Lucy was incredible. Her knowledge of the pizzas help so much to know if it’s spicy or includes of any allergy’s. This was an incredible experience and so good I can’t thank them more. 100/10 recommendations.

I love this place. It was heaving busy on a late December evening, but the staff still made a great effort to make us feel welcome and get us a drink and starters at the bar, We had an hour wait but really enjoyed the hour or so during which we had starters and wine at the bar. The food was fantastic - have never had a bad meal here. The service was great. The bill was very reasonable. I’ll be going back again!

Yet another great visit to Rudy's along with amazing pizzas, thanks! We had 2 x Carni's, one with extra Nduja, 1 Triple Pepperoni & 1 The Lorenzo WoW

We went here on a busy Saturday night the restaurant has a great vibe, excellent customer service and friendly staff. The pizzas we all had were excellent and I will definitely go back when I'm next in Leeds

What a meal !!! Arrive and was told a 25 minute wait, was shown the bar and requested red wine which was running short but found a couple of bottles thank god 😂😂👍🏻 , starter of milky cheese was heavenly and had us chatting about it for a good 10 minutes. The pizza was spicy but again hit the spot, we followed with dessert of ice cream with espresso OMG took me back to Italy. The service and food was as five star, so as a big thank you to the pot wash, cooks and service staff a £200 tip was left for the overall great work these guys are doing. Overall I would recommend 6 stars out of 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 email on the way to head office. Enjoy your year new guys and your tip, you deserve it.

Great pizza let down by awful service! Train your staff. We arrived at 8 for a booking and our table wasn’t ready. Asked to wait at the bar, no problem. Sat down at the bar. Bar man apologised for being busy and said he would be right with us. Just about to order and drink and got taken to our table. If you are going to get us to sit at the bar at least give us time to get given a drink! Waitress eventually came over to our table after another 5 minutes. We asked to order our food (as we had 10 minutes already to look at the menu) and she told us: ‘wait until your drinks arrive’. Drinks arrived and we were allowed to order. One item was sold out and I asked for the same pizza with a different topping. It was literally a case of ‘computer says no’! I couldn’t order it because it had been ‘taken off the menu’. Seriously just offer a substitute to one of the toppings. Food was excellent, but I’ve never known a waitress with worse timing. I think she managed to walk over and interrupt mid sentence every time she came over. Just pause for a couple of seconds to let people finish speaking. We were not rude and we were not going to ignore you. This sounds really ‘ranting’, so please look at my other reviews which are nearly always 5 star. I was very ‘polite’ and still left a tip, but seriously just offer some basic customer service training to your staff. Shame such good food was let down by the service.

Great pizza, great service. All as advertised basically 👍

Rudy’s never lets me down! We came in without a booking so we sat at the bar/kitchen seating area where they were making the pizzas and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the pizzas being made 🤩 Tasty pizzas and sauces although food was slow to come, will be back for delicious pizzas 🍕

One of the best pizzas we have ever had. Going again to your York branch later this week.

Went in at 3pm on Friday with an friend after seeing the deal online. Immediately as we went in was met by coldness by the man at the host stand. We asked if they were still doing the deal and he replied with a snark comment of ‘the question is if we have any tables or if we have time to give you takeout’ which took me back. I then asked if he had any tables or if we were able to wait for one to which replied ‘yes we’re still doing it, but no we don’t have any tables till 6:15pm’ which was after the deal ended. He didn’t allow us to donate the toys anyway or give us the option for takeaway. I wouldn’t have been so taken back by this if I hadn’t let the two people in front of us wait for a seat.

Really really good pizza. Probably the best pizza I've had to date! The base was sensational. The chillie oil was also really lovely. No salt on the table, but they got me some quickly after requesting. Slow service, nothing spectacular Make a booking. It got busy.

Had a white pizza for the first and definitely not last time. Bought cheap, gave a toy for a pizza, great initiative!

Great pizza, sour wine (two of three red wines were sour). Overall decent service, except it stings a little seeing five waiters standing around but waiting ten minutes for a glass of wine. We also waited probably over 30 minutes before getting the bill. The food arrived quickly and was very good. Large portions, but you can box up leftover slices.

Amazing!!!! Delicious pizza and fab service.

We've eaten here twice now. The first time was great. This time, my wife's pizza came with ham cheese and greens, plenty of toppings all spread out. Mine however came sparse and was practically a 1/3rd pizza with small crumbs of sausage, the rest nearly just plain tomato and cheese. When I mentioned it to the waitress she offered to either remake or provide a free dessert which I wasn't expecting and I cannot fault their customer service. It more than makes up for it. Thank you!

Great place to sit and chill whilst you wait for a train! Just round the corner from the station, relaxed vibes, and good food. Mika was really attentive and I received great service :)

We waited a long time for a our table service wasn't very nice then we had 2 drinks on our bill that wasn't ours will not be returning.

Cracking place for a nice pizza great atmosphere and service with a smile ! You really would have to go a long way to beat this for an all round great night out. We had pizza garlic bread with cheese which was delicious, caprese salad and spicy salami pizza a couple of drinks and it should have been £45 but they ran out of the usual salami so did not charge for the pizza … honesty integrity and service ! I wish there was more … thank you !!!

Unfortunately really don’t get the hype with this place, waited over an hour for an underwhelming pizza and found the manager rude. We went on a Wednesday evening and the place was steadily busy. We were all pretty hungry and we ordered a garlic bread for starter just to share between us 4, we quickly finished that and then we waited for our mains which took nearly an hour after our starters were finished to come. We asked where our pizzas were and were told 5 mins. We waited a further 15 and complained again saying we were past it now. The manager came over and said other people had got their pizzas first as they hadn’t ordered starters. Excuse us for ordering starters and spending more money! Equally we don’t expect to be waiting an hour for pizza. In the time we were waiting for our mains tables were seated, ordered and were nearly finished with their pizzas, i don’t expect to wait that long for a quick eat! The pizzas eventually came and were underwhelming, lacking in tomato sauce, toppings all in a pile where they were clearly made in hurry. I ate mine purely because I was starving but it was also burnt and others on our table left a fair bit, no further questions were asked when we said it was just ok. We did see numerous takeaway pizzas go out during our sitting and so I can only imagine the kitchen was overrun with those. Won’t be returning.

Couldn't look beyond triple pepperoni as an option on the menu. Delicious and great crusts. Slightly soggy middle of the pizza, but didn't really detract. Good side salads. Primitivo was a decent red, I thought. Affogato for pudding is always an excellent choice (with amaretto of course).

We tried Rudy's for the first time a week ago and I would say it was okay! The service was a tiny bit slow and my pizza was underwhelming flavour wise. My husband loved his though so you decide!

La pizza era tan bueno y el servicio era fantástico! Gran vibra aquí, me encantó la música también. Simplemente brillante, volveremos.

we booked a table for our wedding anniversary on Saturday,was asked to arrive 15 mins before otherwise our table would be released,we arrived earlier and asked to go.to the bar for drinks,I had a pint of lager,wife had a double vodka with diet coke,over half and hour later we were taken to our table,this was going on to around 8.15pm, table was booked for 7.30-9pm,we ordered starter,mains bottle of wine with our meal,end of the evening my wife paid the bill, following morning we realised that we had £25 of drinks on our bill and a -£17.70 staff birthday discount,we were celebrating a wedding anniversary not a staff birthday,I have since emailed the restaurant 3 times but had no reply..it will be a long time before we go back there for food... photo evidence below all starred.

We visited Rudys for the first time, I was with my parents and my little girl. We was served by a lady called Tino, who was very polite and helpful. We asked if they did a little ice cream for my 2 year old and when she brought the bill she said it was free. Thanks Tino, we will return.

Order 3 pizzas home delivery,for the last 3 orders they had been very stingy with the ingredients I paid extra 2.50 to add ham twice. As you can see in the photo I got two small pieces and half. Really disappointed, because the quality of the ingredients is amazing, but the cut corner with ingredients it is abuse, specially because they are not cheap.

No place for a single client, free tables around, but recommendation to come in half an hour. Booh.

I was taken here whilst visiting Leeds on a business trip and was described as the best pizza in Leeds, and I was not disappointed! The dough was delicious and not floppy like some pizza places. The ingredients were spot on and left me wanting more. Would definitely visit again if in Leeds again

Some of the best pizza around in Leeds. The crust was perfectly thin and overall delicious. Laid-back vibe and good atmosphere. May get a bit loud as it was busy, and there is all sorts going on with people at the bar, wtaff running around for service as well as delivery collections. Overall, great pizza.

Decidió cenar aquí temprano por la tarde (alrededor de las 2. 30 pm) para que pudiéramos conseguir una mesa. Servicio extremadamente pobre. Pedimos un entrante y chapuzones, nunca vinieron, no había personal en los alrededores para preguntar, tenía que ir y encontrar personal. Nadie nos preguntó si nuestra comida estaba bien. Nadie se molestó. El personal nos hizo sentir a mí y a mis dos hijas como si no fuéramos dignos de estar allí.

The pizzas are excellent. However, we waited nearly an hour to be served our food. Though the staff brought us olives and crisps to make amends.

Bit of a let down really, been trying to go for a few week after walking past and never having availability, managed to finally get booked in for 9pm, so hopes were high if it was this busy. The staff were lovely, couldn't fault them so no complaints, seating was good and didn't feel cramped. The wait for food also wasn't too bad to say how busy it was. Drinks were good too, no fruit cider but the Lemonade cocktail was a good substitute! The only issue is, the pizza wasn't good, by any stretch really. Very soggy base and lacked flavour. Really the key things you'd expect to be the main attraction of a pizzaria. Hope it was just a one off but it was disappointing.

Rudy's Pizza Napoletana is a must-visit for pizza lovers! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the authentic vibe and the warm welcome from the staff. They took the time to introduce the restaurant’s philosophy, focusing on traditional Neapolitan pizza made with high-quality ingredients. The crust was beautifully charred and perfectly chewy, made from a simple dough that’s left to rise for 24 hours. The tomato sauce was fresh and flavorful, and you could taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The mozzarella di bufala was creamy and rich, really elevating the pizza. I appreciated the dedication to authenticity in both the cooking methods and the ingredients, making me feel like I was enjoying pizza straight from Naples. Overall, Rudy’s delivers an incredible pizza experience, and I can’t wait to go back for another slice!

The pizzas are lovely. The staff are very friendly. Just a shame that the last time I went that my pizza was a bit on the cool side with spoilt it a bit but I was hungry so I tucked in and ate most of it. They did give me a box to take what I couldn’t eat and I heated the next day in my air frier and it was delicious.

Pizza was very good with high quality ingredients. NO ridiculous service charge was added to the bill which I thought was excellent.

Gorgeous pizza and the sauces were amazing

Romereo era un camarero encantador que era extremadamente servicial y amable y hizo esta experiencia 5 / 5 ! Definitivamente volvería ya que es mi primera vez viviendo en Leeds y esto definitivamente se convertirá en mi lugar de pizza

Una velada muy agradable con buena comida en este bullicioso restaurante en el centro de la ciudad. Mi único problema era que el servicio era un poco lento. Dicho esto, estaba muy ocupado y un sábado por la noche.

Tuvimos una gran experiencia hoy en Rudy's. Nuestro servidor Maddie era brillante y atento, se aseguró de que toda nuestra experiencia fue fantástica. Las pizzas llegaron rápidamente y estaban deliciosas. Recomendaría encarecidamente este restaurante a cualquiera.

Easily the best Neapolitan pizza I’ve had outside of Italy!

Authentic pizza that tastes great! I feel there aren't many vegetarian options when compared to similar pizza places

First visit yesterday can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience

Pizza is brilliant but service can be a bit slow or forgetful when busy. Also it tends to be quite loud. But it’s worth for the food! They have good offers on sometimes like the Negroni Month this September - so worth it!

First time we've ever been asked to vacate our table, despite offering to buy another bottle of Primitivo and there being two empty tables (three including our vacated one) after 8pm on a Wednesday! Don't bother with Rudy's. If you want to relax, rather than rush your meal, go to a Leeds Pizza restaurant that treats their customers with respect: Veeno, Franco Manca, Pizza Express, Pizza Pilgrim..... Very short sighted, penny wise, pound foolish policy at Rudy's.

Lovely host Hannah with good food and drinks. Would recommend.

Hannah was the best server ever. They even realised it was a special day to celebrate for me and brought us complimentary lominchello aperitif. What a delight the evening was, and the food was top notch.

Had an amazing night and fantastic food, our server Hannah was lovely, attentive and got everything we needed In a timely manner ! :)

Amazing food, amazing staff. Great meal out.

This was quite possibly one of the worst pizzas I've had in my life. It was so incredibly sloppy and wet, that it had turned into a sludge you probably couldn't legally feed inmates in a prison. Triple Pepperoni apparently means three slices of Pepperoni. This one is a huge "avoid" for me and one of the more disappointing visits after some recommendations from colleagues.

Best pizza in Leeds . So quick and the staff are very friendly. I will be back here to eat when I return to Leeds. I've been coming to Leeds a lot and was told about this Gem of a place.

Server was great but food arrived before drinks, so I think the bar staff were struggling, but is was a Saturday. Food was just as good at the one in Chaple A.

Amazing 'Pizzas' especially the Carni, great service at a fantastic price. Oh, if you haven't tried the 'Blood Orange Mimosa', give it a try. Raffie loved it to #RaffieDoesRudys thanks

Lovely pizza and accompaniments, a hearty size and very tasty..the service was great and the price was reasonable.

Great pizza. Some unique and interesting toppings and went well with the garlic sauce. Not pictured was the tiramisu that was finished in about 10 seconds. I do recommend and would return if I was back in Leeds.

Good shop! Cheap and delicious 😋 Good music and atmosphere 💓 Vegetarian (1st photo) and Capricciosa (2nd photo)🍕 Vegetarian food was too spicy for children to eat, but delicious for adults.

Nice. Easy reach of the train station and city centre. Pleasant staff. Decent pizzas.

Food was lovely and couldn’t fault it, didn’t have any kids crayons etc which would have been a bonus!

We were short on time so let the server know. They took our food and drink order within a couple of minutes and we got our food and drinks a few minutes later. It meant we were in and out in just over 39 minutes meaning we weren't late for a show. Fabulous service and the best pizzas in Leeds. One pizza did two of us (they're very big) so cheap too!

Nice overall experience at Rudys City Centre. Food, service and atmosphere.

Tasty pizza at Rudy's and friendly and fast service from the team, but terrible contact prior to our meal. I came here with a large party from work (17 in total) and they accommodated us wonderfully, we had a great time. However, it was more stressful for me than it should have been, as I did not receive any replies to multiple emails and either could not get through on the phone, or, when I left a message, did not receive a call back. I was told when making the booking (which was also difficult as I did not receive confirmation) to confirm exact numbers closer to the time, and that I'd need to preorder the pizzas if the numbers got too close to 20. I couldn't do either of these as I could not get in touch. I was contacted by email to give feedback on my visit, where I shared this, but also did not receive a response. I was charged for a drink we did not receive, but given the total inability to respond via normal methods, I might have to go in person to claim it back, not really worth the ~4 quid. Deducting 2 stars as we did all eventually have a nice time, but I wasted a lot of time trying to get hold of the team and would have appreciated some response. I would not recommend for a large party where this kind of contact is required!

You just cant go wrong with a rudys. Pizza is always gorgeous. Wide range of drinks choice. Devine desserts. Lovely staff. Simply a great spot for a good time :)

Pizza was authentic and tasty, we all had margaritas or Tonno. Our waiter Morgan was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely LOVE Rudy’s pizza fabulous staff, great service and delicious pizza. Also serve great range of drinks and the desserts are also worth leaving space for. Does get very busy in the evening so worth booking.

👤Staff were very welcoming friendly and happy to have a chat. (Shout out to our server Bilyana, he was super chill and nice to talk to.) ⏱️Food service was around a 15-20 minute wait after ordering so pretty quick. 💰£15-20/ pp. We ended up getting 2 pizzas, burrata, and the homage lemonade which came to a total of £36.50 ✅Food was a good price and tasted very fresh and authentic. Would recommend

Friendly & attentive staff. Delicious, freshly made pizza & very tasty desserts.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. The pizzas looked amazing. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because there was no salt in the dough which let the pizzas down which was a real shame. I will be back as I am pretty sure that this was just an accidental coincidence

Went with my friend on a thursday and despite the food being good as always, service was questionable and a few of the staff members put me off coming back. Two of the girls looked extremely angry and miserable, we were waiting half an hour for a bill and avoided asking around for it in thinking they would be annoyed or give us bad service- one was blonde with short hair and one brunette. seemed unapproachable hence why we waited so long and got the attention of a much nicer member of staff who brought us the bill and took our payments a few minutes afterwards. I have worked in hospitality myself and understand the stress and fluster of a big restaurant and loads of customers but i also learned to keep my cool and put a happy face on for a few hours until I get off shift. There is a branch closer to me and will be going to that one instead as staff have always been kind and seemed happy to help. Again, food was very nice and meal decent value.

One of my favourite pizzas outside Napoli.

Love rudys, best pizza in leeds!

I visited with the family for the 2nd time today. Our waitress was uneventful. No smile, we felt like an inconvenience. There was debris on the chairs when we sat to the table. The chairs were also dusty at the back. By brother order a line beer, peroni on tap, he said you could tell the lines were dirty and would not recommend anything on tap. The food arrived quickly. All the pizzas had burnt bubbles around the edges and the bases were doughy. The salad was over dressed and the quality of the salad leafs were tough and chewy. I was dubious about the quality of the salami and the texture was much more like bacon. However, nobody was enjoying there burnt offerrings so I was now looking for faults. I feel the photo of the pizza I had last year looks far more delightful than yesterday's pizza and from my original post i clearly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. We chose not to finish our meal and sent it back. The manager did ask if there was anything she could do to make things better but we had cinema tickets and didn't wish to be held up. ORIGINAL POST Called in on a busy Saturday afternoon and couldn't fault the place, staff (even when rushed), and pizza could not be faulted. High standars all round.

Ordered a takeaway and got two very cold pizzas after an hour or so. If they were warm they would be decent but this wasn't a great experience at all. Better if you go in to the restaurant I think.

I live overseas but travelled back to my hometown and my friends suggested Rudys. Pizza was very good, highly recommend. I’d be hesitant to come back on the experience of some of the staff. We got in and the female waitress came over with have you booked? Our reply was no. She went to speak to someone else, she came back and said well you’ll have to wait 15 minutes. My reply was that’s fine. This looked to bothered her, she asked us to go sit at the bar, and told us we’re spread thin today so just try grab whoever you can for a drink and walked off?! (looking very dissatisfied that we chose to wait and the place wasn’t full by any means) Waited 15 mins at the bar - a guy came to stack bottles. My friend asked if we could order drinks with him. His response was “not with me mate, if you can see I’m busy” he then spent the rest of the time lining up the bottles perfectly and making sure the labels were facing the front. I’d of given 1 star for service if it wasn’t for the very friendly and professional Eurasian gentleman who took our order that saved my experience. I’ve worked in F&B before and it’s not easy but there’s a way to speak to customers!

Highly recommend this place. It's really nice, friendly staff, food is brilliant and the place is very clean. Popped in at the recommendation of our daughters. We had a shared meat and bread starter with some of their excellent chilli honey dip. Well presented, a good-sized portion, and very tasty. This was followed by an anchovies andcapers pizza and a triple peperoni pizza. Both were very good, a great size and lovely texture, and again, good value for money. The Caesar salad was excellent too. The service was brilliant, too. Great place to eat. Thanks

Great birthday choice staff are great

Authentic napolitan pizza, really enjoyed relax atmosphere and great cider, definitely going back there if in Leeds but will try the London brunch as well

WoW, we called in off chance with no booking. Unfortunately, Rudy's didn't have a table available but that wasn't a problem, we were asked if we would like to sit in front of the Pizza Oven, which was fine with us. Romario was our waiter and he was welcoming us and taking our drinks order within five minutes of sitting down. Once Romario had brought our drinks and water we placed our orders and watched our Pizzas created right in front of our eyes. Our Pizzas arrived within fifteen minutes, perfect and as per usual they were #Amazing Fantastic service, amazing food at a great price, what more would you want, thanks and see you soon...

I had triple pepperoni pizza and an Italian beer, it was delicious, pizza was probably one of the best I have had.

Brilliant as always!! Our server Romario was amazing! Usually go to the headingley branch but will be returning to this one!!

Great service from Evie, Alex and Ben. One of those places that is always brilliant in terms of food, service and value. Everyone is friendly and efficient. Great to see the place not losing its vibe as it gets busier.

This was some of the best pizza I have had in a long time. Large sizes with fresh ingredients, I ordered the wrong base and asked if they could add some more cheese to the original and they completely cooked a fresh one without asking. The staff were lovely and attentive. It's ideally situated close to the station so great for filling up before a long train journey.

Me and my friend came to this restaurant today for our meal. The food was brilliant, our waiter was chatty and funny. Food was great for the price but we didn't receive our pot of hot honey we wanted on the side of our meal. Other than that, brilliant restaurant.

Only a couple of vegan options on the pizzas, but the one I picked was fantastic. Really unusual combo, but really enjoyable.

Absolutely bloody love Rudys, constantly finding them whereever me and my other half travel! It's our go to!

I cannot give full marks because it was not the best pizza in my life. Like for real napoletana the dough was too little hydrated (the dough was soft, but I would expect it to be even softer), the edge also should be raised and it wasn’t. Burrata should be more delicate and after cutting it in half it should melt - it was not fulfilled. The rest was good, but this restaurant seemed to be quantity oriented rather than quality. For this price I would expect something better. The service was good, but probably lacking communication. I ordered pizza and a drink and got pizza first and I needed to ask waiter to bring drink for me.

Awesome pizzas, great service. Thanks.

Always good food and lovely bustling atmosphere here.

I wrote a review about my experience as an allergen. I was told the pizza is vegan and had a reaction after eating two slices. Which means there was dairy in the pizza. I had explained that I do have a severe dairy allergy and it’s not by choice that I prefer this. After my review you immediately emailed me and asked for details as you wanted to investigate. I emailed you again and asked for the outcome and you ignored my email. No accountability at all. It was my 11 year olds birthday meal, just so by the way.

Brilliant Pizza place! Great location and really good pizza, we sat just outside the kitchen area and watched them prepare everything fresh. Highly recommend and a great chance to try fresh and different pizzas.

Very good, the pizzas were very good but there were a few ingredients missing from the pizza. Very good dough

Hands down the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life! The whole experience was incredible and we were a HUGE party of 16! Staff were excellent, food delicious and the place was just amazing. Loved it! 😍

Great pizza place, reasonable prices and real roman style pizza.

Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful, even though it was so busy due to graduation - me and my family had a lovely time there and will definitely be back!

Pizza is great! I ordered the triple pepperoni and I recommend not having the chilli honey due to how the sweet it made the pizza. However, the selection of drinks was good. Also we had to wait for a table when there was clearly table availability.

Pizza dough was not cooked enough, defenetly not enough mozzarella and sweet tomato source. Defenetly not a Neapolitan pizza.

Orla provided us with excellent service and the food was delicious as always - can’t wait for our next visit!

First time dining at Rudy's and I must say, it was an amazing experience. To start with, I didn't have a prior booking, yet they were kind enough to get me a seat without much waiting. Cosy atmosphere, great vibe and most importantly, their pizzas are so delightful.

Probably the best pizza restaurant I've been to in terms of price and quality. My first choice in Leeds.

The best pizza in Leeds hands down! Only thing I will say is that they can sometimes be a little slow with getting drinks to the table and on this particular occasion they were completely forgotten and we had to re-order.

Tasty pizzas, decent prices, nice warehouse atmosphere. Chill cashier/server

A conveniently located place for a lovely taste of South Italy. The food was good, but we were being constantly interrupted by our waitress. While pressure to leave your table after an hour is clear, there simply no need to constantly interrupt people's dynamics. A good conversation at the table can heighten the restaurant's capacity to deliver a good experience.

Awesome choice of pizzas. Our third visit to Rudy's. It's always good. The toppings are fresh and crust is perfect. Highly recommended for Neapolitan pizzas.
