Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza - Castle Street in Liverpool

Excellent service and food in a brilliant location, great facilities and above all perfect neapolitan pizza. I’ve been to five other Rudy’s locations and this is one of the best. They had a special on and it’s genuinely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, the Sonny Boy. No other pizzeria does a base and bread like Rudy’s.

Así que acaba de traer a la esposa a Liverpool y alojarse en el hotel Zee (brillante por cierto). Tomamos unas copas recién salido del Club de la Cueva (una necesidad) y decidimos que necesitamos comida. Un google rápido y encuentro a Rudy y conocemos a Johanna. La comida es excepcional el servicio es increíble toda la experiencia es divina, honestamente si estás en Liverpool y tienes hambre de una pizza increíble no busques más. La mejor pizza que he probado.

Vine aquí el 30 / 04 / 2025 para mi fiesta de cumpleaños de amigos. Nuestro servidor Thanos era increíble que nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos que incluso nos dio una vela para cantar. -Muchas gracias. Definitivamente volveré.

Service was slow, not a lot of beer choices

Di passaggio per una breve visita a Liverpool, ci siamo imbattuti un po per caso in questa pizzeria e devo dire che le recensioni sono veritiere. La pizza è davvero buona, così come gli ingredienti utilizzati. Ottimi anche i dessert.

Incredibly nice restaurant with good pizzas and excellent staff. Recommended!

Great Pizza, and the garlic bread is amazing, fantastic staff as well

Esta experiencia fue increíble, la comida era la mejor. El personal era increíble tan amable, que todos disfrutamos. La pizza fue la mejor que he probado.

Absolute steal that you can get a pizza of this quality for such a good price. 15 quid for proper authentic wood fire pizza, bought out quite quick too, I was worried I'd be pressed for time but had plenty to spare. Great place all round.

Very good food and good treatment. Especially Anna. A charming person and very good professional. Thanks for everything

The service was fantastic and the food is always great. I'm not really a pizza fan but i know if i'm going to rudy's its always going to be good. The dips too are amazing! Highly recommend the chilli honey and garlic aioli

Amazing service from Kay, looked after us from start to finish. would definitely recommend

Not a single issue the food speaks for itself.

Delicious pizza, wonderful brownies! Nice service, we didn't have a reservation in advance, but they managed to find a place for us at the bar, so we could watch the pizzaiolo men at work - from kneading the dough to finishing it in the oven. Great and very friendly service.

Amazing experience, customer service and PIZZAAAAAA

Went to see Disney on ice with my daughter's abd twi granddaughters went for tea excellent service staff were really pleasant and helpful pizzas were delicious ,

Took my daughter and granddaughters to dusney on Ice called in at Rudys on the docks the service was excellent staff really pleasant and helpful and the pizzas were delicious, will definitely go again

Weekend away visiting son and his girlfriend in Liverpool and visited Rudy's on their recommendation and previous visits. Fantastic food all round, fantastic service and atmosphere and a cracking bottle of red. Tiramisu is to die for.

Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant! Honestly, it is one of the best pizza places that I have visited in the UK.

Not as good as expected. Rudy's carries a good reputation, so I was looking forward to trying out their pizza while on a business trip to Liverpool. Unfortunately, the pizza was disappointing, and I left half of it. The edges were slightly blackened and tasteless, but it was the base that was really poor - it was soggy and lacked any crispness, making it hard to cut, and eventually, I gave up. The flavours were good, and the pepperoni was spot on, but the overall pizza wasn't good enough. I had a salad as well and that was OK. I'll not be rushing back.

Fantastic service, amazing food the pizza was really great, my suggest is the Triple Pepperoni also the beer was good. The staff was amazing congrats

Staffs are not friendly- they profile people and have bad attitude at all levels- They’re not even from this country but try to discriminate others? Funny-

Arrived here and had very good service and they allow service dogs. He was given his own water and the pizza tasted yummy

Quick attention. Excellent Neapolitan style pizza. I bought to take away

Really enjoy a good Rudy's, and find the food always really consistently delicious.

Fantastic Pizza. Probably the best I've ever had. Second time I've been and it's really good food.

THE. BEST. PIZZA!! Staff are friendly, food is delicious. Great beer. 👍

I’m not a huge pizza fan, it’s certainly not my first choice when it comes to eating out however Rudy's could have changed this as I would definitely return here. The pizza was delicious, I had the fennel sausage and onion, the flavours were amazing and the dough was out of this world, so tasty! I loved the feel of the place and the staff were lovely. Excellent value for money too. Highly recommend.

We really love Rudy’s and it’s a family favourite (we’ve never had a bad pizza or bad experience here) but hands down this was the BEST time we’ve ever had at Rudy’s! We had the absolute joy of being looked after by Thanos and istg I have never met someone with such a gorgeous energy! Thanos was so kind and generous and so much fun to chat with and he lifted up the atmosphere! The pizza is great but this guy and the team are even better! GIVE EM ALL A RAISE!!!💃🫶

We’ve eaten at Rudy’s on a few occasions when visiting Liverpool and we have always found the food and service to be superb! We decided to order two non alcoholic cocktails in the Pesca Mandarina and the Morello Cherry Sour. We opted to share a starter and ordered the Campana, which is a really good value starter dish. For our mains we had the Triple Pepperoni Pizza that comes glazed with chilli Honey and the Salsiccia Pizza. We were sat just inside and we could see the pizzas being freshly made right in-front of us. Our server was really nice, managed to find out he was from Ibiza! Overall this came to under £50 which is why it’s so good value for money with the quantity of food and the superb service from the staff. Would highly recommend Rudy’s if you’re after some authentic Italian pizza!

Delicious pizza. I recommend :)

Pizza is great here. Specially love the triple pompdoro and the salads. just a negative point as there are no kids menu or any kids activities to entertain the family

Probably the lightest, softest and tastiest homemade pizza dough I’ve tasted! Highly recommend! Definitely need to book a table at the weekend as it’s very busy … we made this mistake, but the takeaway pizza was fresh, still hot and delicious by the time we ate it. They are also dog-friendly!!!

Got a seat at the back bar. Fun to watch the bartenders and take in the vibes from all guests. Pizza is delish! Margarita and sausage 👌

A Neapolitan pizzeria with sold out by Nduja?? Maybe because it was Sunday night? But when the base is good, it can't go wrong.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Service from Ella was easily some of the best we've ever had. Delicious and affordable meal. Definitely recommend!

Relaxed and great pizza. Best to book.

The best pizza I've had for a long long time

Amazing food, had a vegan pizza and I couldn‘t get enough of it. Drinks were also really good. 10/10, would recommend

I recently dined at Rudy's Pizza and was deeply concerned about the observed hygiene practices. The chef appeared to handle both meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes without washing hands or changing gloves between preparations. When I brought this to the attention of the waitress, she dismissed my concerns, stating that there are no allergens. This response was dismissive and demonstrated a lack of understanding of the importance of proper hygiene for all customers, especially those with dietary restrictions. Cross-contamination can lead to the unintentional consumption of meat or animal products, which can be harmful for individuals with allergies, religious dietary restrictions, or ethical concerns. I urge the restaurant management to address this issue seriously and implement proper hygiene protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of all their customers. Till the time it is done, recommend vegans and vegetarians to AVOID this restaurant.

Lovely food. Cater for dogs too!

Nice place pity food goes cold quickly

The staff at Rudy’s are phenomenal. They have ensured that there is a little bit of Italy on Castle Street!

Guter Service, gute Pizza und gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Wäre die Pizza etwas knuspriger gebacken gewesen, hätte es 5 Punkte gegeben

Pizza is an easy option that everyone likes so went here . Never been before but was impressed . It was a nice experience with the tiramisu espresso martini being a highlight . The Taratina pizza was great too. I wouldn’t go back for a while but that’s just personal choice. Lots of things included on the menu needed to be translated. One pizza cutter for a table 6 was shocking along with lacking cutlery. Make sure to check that everything you order is brought to the table as they forgot out dip

Best franchise pizza in the UK.

THE best pizza in liverpool I mean yummy. Staff super friendly and fast . Atmosphere very festive . The pizza has the right crust and size. Plenty of options of cocktails as well. Amazing .

We were delighted to get a table as a walk in on Friday afternoon. Great service, amazing Pizzas nicest I've ever had. Demolished all. No room for dessert.

Fabulous as always. Pizza is unbelievable and on par with the best. Staff were lovely (Maisie was wonderful)

Lovely spot of dinner here, having been multiple times before its always a pleasure to return Food is spot on - great range of options and some great specials. Good range of drinks and all not too pricey either Always a great atmosphere here and this visit was no exception Staff were excellent too

You can go to any restaurant of this chain, a very good standard.

Had a great meal here. Found the ambience, service and quality of the pizza too be excellent. The food was delivered to our table promptly and very fresh, even though the restaurant was busy.

A wonderful gem of a restaurant found on our 1st night in Liverpool. Food, service (Eden,Phoebe, Billy) and atmosphere were outstanding and a breath of fresh air away from the mediocre restaurants of London. Ideally positioned too. OUTSTANDING!!! 😊 Barbara & Michael

Nice restaurabt an food! Thank you fabs for your nice service! We will come back !

Great friendly bustling place, pizzas are delicious

Great food, staff are really nice, always book so you're not disappointed.

Loved it! Perhaps this is how Pizza tastes in Italy? Soooo good 🤤

the best pizzas I have had in a long time, very tasty cooked in a wood fired oven. Great value for money too. High recommended 👌

Good pizza, fresh and quality. Staffs are friendly.

Wowww the pizza is so good and it’s all so reasonably priced. I had the pumpkin pizza from the specials menu and it was unique but in a good way. I recommend getting the garlic aioli dip to pair it with. We had such a lovely experience at Rudy’s last night for my friend’s birthday. Will be back!

A party of 12 came on a Friday afternoon. This place was outstanding from the best pizzas we’ve ever had to the service. We were looked after by Emma who was amazing. She kept drinks flowing and food coming. That girl was outstanding! 10/10 this place!!

If you're a pizza lover definitely the place to go , not expensive,it brings the authentic Naples pizza to you in the heart of the marina in Liverpool

We were a big group and paid separately. Unfortunately the waiter forced us to pay an optional (!) service charge even though all of us had given 10% tip. We pointed out that the service charge was optional but he insisted on the payment. One of the friend gave him additional money to avoid trouble. I think this is a Mafia method and I don’t think the restaurant will see me again.

In a small group, we were forced to pay an optional service charge, even everyone had already paid a 10% tip.

Tried Rudy's by chance, best decision I've made for a long time. For traditional pizza, this is the place; flavours are amazing, the pizza base is super fresh & tasty, staff are very pleasant, helpful and efficient. The ergonomics are good, prices are fantastic and service was swift. Will be visiting here alot ♥

Went here last night for my birthday. Really nice pizza. Just booked again for before I go and see Ricky Gervais next month I was that impressed. All 5 of us got triple pepperoni. We all loved it. My mate Callum loved it so much he ate it like a little Goblin in about 2 minutes. Get extra chilli honey as a tip.

An absolute must omg pizza is unbelievable, flavour well worth a visit or 2 .my new pizza place in Liverpool, freshly made ,very friendly staff and clean and you have to buy the dips but we'll worth it. It you don't finish they'll box it up for you

Great food great staff very efficient

The best pizza I have had for years. Absolutely perfect in every way. On a par with a fine pizza I had in Capri many years ago. Genuine character and flavours.

I had the pleasure of visiting Rudy’s Pizza in Liverpool yesterday, and it was truly an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant, with a modern yet cozy vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The pizza itself was exceptional. I went for the classic Margherita, and it did not disappoint! The crust was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The tomato sauce was fresh and flavorful, and the mozzarella cheese was rich and melted to perfection. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. Service was fast and efficient, and the staff were professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food, and the whole experience left me wanting to come back for more.

Food was delicious, service on this visit not so good.

Just go there. Good food, nice atmosphere and very nice staff.

Food was amazing as always and the server was great - attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Couldn't find a fault even if I wanted to!

Very popular so book ahead on weekends. Casual sit in place so no need to dress up although some groups had. Tiramasu popular too. Very attentive staff.

Me and my wife had an absolute fantastic pizza and a vegetarian sharing platter on Sunday night I've got to say it was awesome. Staff were really friendly and service was quick even though it was extremely busy. Good value for money too. Definitely be back.

Pizza napolitana super grande el tamaño personal, rápido servicio, rico y contundente. Excelente para una comida rápida y seguir haciendo turismo.

The pizza I ve ordered is very cold . You can't send cold pizza because it's your closing time

I ve reviewed an iced cold pizza from the delivery

Nice food. Nice atmosphere. Great service.

Superb quality on the pizza here. Best i tasted outside Italy. Friendly service both visits this weekend. Very busy place, so booking recommended. The style of the restaurant is very simple, but people are coming for the great pizza anyway. My favourite in Liverpool for lunch.

Me and my girlfriend came here via booking, the service was incredibly fast and the staff were very positive. Would recommend!

First time here lovely pizzas great service from Tom

Adisappointing experience I had recently at Rudy’s on Castle Street with one of your managers. The situation occurred when we arrived at the restaurant at 9:26 PM, based on your Google listing, which states your hours are until 9:45 PM. Upon entering, we waited by the front door, but a female staff member glanced at us several times and chose to ignore us. Shortly after, one of your managers approached and informed us that the restaurant was closed. When I mentioned that the online hours indicated you were open until 9:45 PM, the manager replied that the closing time was actually 9:15 PM. When I reiterated that the website said 9:45 PM, he responded rudely, saying, “I’m the manager, I decide.” I then suggested that perhaps the online hours should be updated to avoid confusion. The manager’s tone and attitude were unprofessional, and the female staff member’s decision to ignore us added to the frustration. The poor customer service, especially from the manager, was quite upsetting. The next day, I emailed the restaurant to ask about your last serving time and received inconsistent replies. I also noticed online that the last booking is listed as 9:30 PM. Since we were at the restaurant before 9:30 PM, it felt like the staff had intentionally chosen to ignore us As a regular customer of Rudy’s, I’m deeply disappointed by this experience. It’s misleading to display incorrect hours, and for someone who is neurodiverse, this inconsistency is especially confusing. I hope you can take this feedback seriously and make improvements to avoid similar issues in the future.

Great pizza and great atmosphere. We arrived without booking and it was no problem, we got seated at some bar stools watching the team make the pizza's infront of us. The pizza's were fresh and delicious and the staff were very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend trying!

Delicious pizza and fast service

Would give it more stars, have dined in here as a customer and it's great but as a courier it's disgusting how much the staff just blank you and even blank you on purpose. Lack of empathy knowing we're only paid by each delivery and it's hard as it is. We then get it off the customers too then.

top pizzas fresh and substantial with Great friendly service with a smile Rudy's has a great vibe

Fab atmosphere, amazing pizzas. Very friendly service. Will definitely visit again

Quirky, rustic and excellent pizzas, thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Calabrese pizza, mixed olives, the only issue was no rum Baba dessert left. The Italian draught beer was also very tasty. Highly recommended!

Lovely pizza for my lunch. Really bustly making for a great atmosphere. I had my pizza to myself but some other couples were sharing one between them...as these pizzas are a big plateful of food.

Lovely fresh pizza for a decent price. Definitely recommend. They can accommodate large groups too.

Great food fast service.. unfortunately had to sit at bench area.

We ate a pizza almost lasagna, excellent!

The staff were extremely friendly and happy to welcome us today. They apologised preemptively that there was likely to be a wait for our order, but it actually came extremely quickly. We look forward to the new specials every month, and the 'almost lasagne' was absolutely phenomenal! Would definitely recommend going to this restaurant over the Albert Dock restaurant, Castle Street had much friendlier staff and significantly better atmosphere.

Probably one of the best places to eat in the city.

Brilliant service and absolutely delicious pizza. It’s my go to restaurant whenever I’m in Liverpool!

Great place to visit for pizza, the food was amazing, the service was outstanding. Thank you we will be back.

Always a good shout for a dinner, great pizza with good variety on the menu

Lovely pizza best pizza I have had in months
