Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza - Castle Street in Liverpool

Delicious pizzas served piping hot. The homemade lemonade was so good too. Staff were lovely and we were served promptly. Will definitely return and would recommend.

Fabulous pizza, thin base and wonderfully tasty toppings. Friendly staff and great surroundings.

Delicious food. Staff were attentive, friendly

Amazing from start to finish….. The staff went out of their way to make our little boy feel special making a pizza that suited us all. The pizzas were lovely very thin and tasty. My little boy and I managed a desert and glad we did. Can’t fault this place from its price, service and food quality. Will be visiting again thank you 🤩

Pizzas were phenomenally good. Very authentic and cooked in a large wood-fired oven, the base was perfectly done. The number of vegan/plant-based options was very impressive and there were also a range of mocktails. Had to wait a while to receive the bill at the end, but otherwise the service was good.

Really good pizzas with a loose and hip atmosphere.

This was amazing, tasty pizza, excellent service, highly recommend. It has a restaurant feel with high quality food with speedy service. Drinks took 1 minute (while busy) And food took 10 minutes. Highly recommend

Lively city centre pizza restaurant. Cool and bright indoors, seating area out. Our pizzas were all lovely. Great wood-fired pizzas with excellent range of ingredient combinations. The service was friendly and efficient. A lovely meal out.

Fantastic pizza. Lovely feel to the place , unpretentious. Servers were excellent, very attentive without being intrusive. Will defo be going again.

Lovely pizza restaurant with very authentic tasty pizza.

I am going to that place almost every Friday , but this day wasn't the best pizza, no fresh rocket on the pizza, and the cheese was the best. Sadly, I had to cancel my pizza.

Not as good as last visit 3,4 months ago

Pizza was lovely, alot of choice. Best pizza I have ever had! Service was amazing, very friendly and welcoming

Great pizza and a good choice of beers. Will defo, or maybe two. go back for another one

We've been here twice recently, once in the evening when we sat outside, and the other when we ate inside at lunchtime. The atmosphere outside on a Saturday evening was excellent, but inside at lunchtime it was rather quiet. However, on both occasions the service was very good and the pizzas wonderful, among the best I've had for a long time. For me, Rudy's is one of the best places for pizza in the city centre.

Feels like in Naples. Many vegetarian and vegan options too and really tasty. Great service with a lot of vegetarian options can never wrong.

Amazing atmosphere and fantastic pizza

If you are looking for a pizza in a restaurant that feels Italian, then this is the place for you. Popped in for a meal with the family after a long day, and everybody left happy.

Apparently a reservation is mission critical for pizza, otherwise you will be turned away even if the venue is half empty and all the seats outside have no one on them.

If you want to eat an excellent Neapolitan pizza in Liverpool come here. Everyone with a smile, very kind and pizza, I feel like I'm in Chiaia... 🍕🍕🍕

Pizza was lovely absolutely no complaints on that front. We were walk in guests with 2 young children. There was no space inside, understandable as walk in guests so agreed to sit outside, but was made to feel more like an inconvenience than valued customers. When people cane over they were for the most part polite, but service was slow and lacked attention to detail, e.g. wrong drinks brought, when replacement drinks came out order wasn't taken instead they were quickly placed down and server turned away without checking of we were ready.

Always amazing food!!! Fantastic atmosphere!

Amazing value for 2 people (I think the bill was only around £26.60) & friendly staff with a good positive ambience, quick service was a plus. Also pizza is really good too!!! 🥗🥗🥫🥗

Very simpel style in the restaurant. But it works, always busy. The magic pizza smell when you open the door are amazing. Really good quality on the pizza. Draft beer was also good. Service friendly. Its a safe choice for a short visit with great pizza. Would not choose this place for a full evening out, atmosphere not very good.

Maisie was such an amazing host! The kindest person! What a gem!

Fastest service Ive experienced in a pizza restaurant. Amazing quality. Highly recommended.

The best napolitanian pizza I have ever ate. I willl be back for more.

Great atmosphere for Pride weekend. Delicious food, fast service and friendly staff. Would recommend.

If a waitress can’t handle a customer waving them over because their food hasn’t appeared after a 40 minute wait, they should find a new job. Our first visit was great, but to sit and watch so many customers turned away from a nearly empty restaurant that was “fully booked”, wait over 40 minutes for main courses and then be called rude for waving a waitress over for attention? Absolutely out of order. Terrible service, won’t be going back. What a shame!

Excellent napolitan pizza, for a fair price.

I only gave this restuarant 5 stars because 10 wasn’t an option! If you love great pizza and great service this is the place to come to!

Recommended by a friend.Don't bother folks, nice Sunny Thursday afternoon,not very busy at all, staff pleasant, but spent so long checking devices, and not long enough actually attending to customers. Drinks order took ages to arrive. Even longer to get someone to take food order, food did arrive quickly, no cutlery,napkins or pizza cutter,had to go search ourselves. Finally someone did deliver them. Pizza, totally disappointing, sloppy to barely cooked, spicy calabrese sausage,someone stole the spicy and sausage. We ate it as it was late lunch and we were hungry, and couldn't be bothered with the inquest. Asked for the bill, we could have left,no one would notice some of our party went on ahead and it was good 10-12 minutes after we got the bill. Staff pleasant but service chronically slow Food, unpleasant slop better anywhere,but very cheap for city centre. If in the area grab a sandwich from Sainsbury's across the road save yourself the bother.

Was quite crowded but loved the vibes. The pizza is absolutely delicious and very light and comes straight from the oven in probably less than 10 minutes. They don’t really have meat options except for vegan lamb which was actually pretty good. The waiters are very friendly. Bathrooms are clean and tidy.

Pizza were delicious, great service and great atmosphere! Strongly recommend. Very good value for money

I had triple pepperoni pizza....it was delicious one of the best I have had. Would highly recommend this place

This is a solid 5 star pizza. The pizza is crafted by a great chief who uses superb ingredients and thoughtfully build the pizza to look like a work of art by Michelangelo with one exception, the pizza is completed in a very reasonable time despite the crowds. When the pizza is served it’s best consumed warm/hot but the flavours are well presented and complement each other. The wood burning ovens impact can be delicately and meaningfully felt on the bread and crust. Speaking of the crust, one could order that on its own and still be as impressed as the whole experience here. Wait staff was brisk and friendly, they run a serious business of making patrons happy and not wait too long on the meal. No idle chit chat but you feel the care they have for how they will treat you as a guest of this fine establishment. They took great care with allergy concerns and carefully reviewed the options. There is plenty of options for those with an already. As a side note the home made fresh squeezed lemonade comes in a non alcohol and adult version. This was a splendid experience over all, makes me want to stay one more night in Liverpool which is also a great city.

Sat outside on a hot summer day, drinking cocktails and eating incredible pizza... who could ask for me!

Beeing a single woman 60plus I didn’t get a table although there were free tables in the afternoon. No problem to be served beeing two men no meaning which age. It’s nearly impossible not to call it discrimination.

The restaurant was nice and clean, good ambience but did not have available the advertised pizza so had to go for second option.

Where to start... The service was excellent, attentive and friendly without being cloying or false and OTT. We sat at the bar and could see the pizza being made and oh what a delight that pizza was. From the thin chewy and wonderfully cooked base, to the tangy tomato sauce (which I doubt has suffered the indignity of adulteration with tomato purée) to the flavourful toppings, which were sufficient but not piled on. Even the cheesy garlic bread was a joy to eat. I will be back on my next trip to Liverpool.

I normally don’t leave reviews but the pizza here was AMAZING and the servers were super nice. The service was also great and we got our pizza super quick.

The waitress was nice and respectful and helped us with our order, Her name it’s maisie thank u

Very good oven-baked pizza😇 On a thin bottom, as it should be. I recommend.

Speedy service and the pizzas were extremely tasty and packed with flavour. Thumbs up all around.

We had a fantastic time at Rudy’s. I had margaritas pizza it was delicious with lots of melted cheese on it. The staff were very attentive and friendly. A very enjoyable eveningXx

Rudy is know what he’s doing. Amazing pizza’s, services, helpful stuffs with fair prices.

Pizzas were great - for some reason on the day we went (when Pink was playing a concert locally) it was busy in the city and they told us it would be at least 1hr for food. A lot of people ahead of us had not gone in to the restaurant because of being told this, however it didn’t take nearly that long and the restaurant was nearly empty inside. Pleasant dining experience - a bit on the pricy side and they’d also run out of a lot of their beer options on the hot summers day we were there. Would go again though as the pizza was good!!

Came here for a business lunch, as good as my local in Birmingham. Fast and friendly service. Desserts were a bit disappointing but the pizzas are great.

Another wonderful experience in Rudy's Castle Street. Very accommodating as always, they even lowered the aircon. Attentive and friendly waiter. Fresh, hot food. If you are thinking of going to a Rudy's in Liverpool, Castle Street is the one to go to!

If you havnt been yet go the pizza was amazing Cooked in a wood fired oven to perfection high quality toppings and thd staff were amazing Newcastle would love this .... just saying 🥰

Rudy's is always a hit and it was brilliant again this time. Great service by Emma H - will come back again when next in Liverpool.

Lovely food as always but the service was extremely poor. We were shown to our table, and our drinks order was take - but no welcome or personal questions asked (have you dined with us before, are you celebrating anything today etc, which we were in fact celebrating a graduation!). We didn’t receive any water for the table, despite other tables around us being given a carafe of water and glasses. We then waited around 20- 25minutes before our drinks arrived and our food order was taken (again no personal recommendations given, no signposting to the specials board), it felt like our waitress could simply not be bothered with us. Food came out relatively quickly, but trying to catch our waitress’ eye for service was impossible, she looked in every direction except ours and did not come to take a second drinks order until after we had finished our food. Service felt very impersonal, we didn’t feel very welcome and as someone who works in hospitality I was disappointed to see the lack of it at Rudys. The pizza is great, the service needs some serious improvement - Italians are known for their welcoming environment where everyone is treated like family, we certainly were not today.

The pizzas are amazing, got a front row seat to the pizza chefs at work! The first chef in the pizza making line was great! Nice guy The only downside was the woman at the end of the line adding ham to the pizzas, she kept picking at her nose and ears, hardly left her hair alone, to then not wash her hands and continue touching peoples food

It may seem like a low review but the pizza is always bad.

What a mix of emotions! It was fantastic 👏🏾 just wanted to say massive thank you for making our date night so special. The food was delicious I can easily say the best pizza I ever had!

Everybody loves Rudy's so I thought I'd finally give it a try. Nothing about the Salame pizza I had was bad, but nothing was particularly good, either. I feel like I missed something, and I honestly contemplated testing myself for COVID in case my taste buds were off, but my other meals since have tasted fine 🫣 4 stars because the staff were nice and the pizzas are well priced. Good seating options for solo diners and groups. I can see how the benches outside appeal on a sunny day with drinks. Not sure I'd return though :/

Food, service and price are all absolutely amazing, my favourite pizza restaurant.

Absolutely delicious and authentic Neapolitan pizza and great value.

I walked in for a fathers day snack at half 11 with my father and mother and sister we sat outside. The sun was in my sisters face so we asked if we could sit inside. The lady was just so nice and let us sit inside took 1 minute before we ordered drinks came in 2 minutes 'PERFECTO' they where. Food took 10 minutes but worth the wait! The only big downside (apart from the time waiting) was how adult the pizza was im still young and my sister is younger she didn't eat much of it. The staff was nice just one man sorta got on my nerves every time he walked through with food he had a card machine with him. The only time he didn't was when he came to give us the bill! He also put the olives WE ORDERED on the shelf next to us then took 3 minutes to give it to us. Apart from that good. -Henrik N

Great atmosphere and cool decor. The pizza is very tasty and super fresh. The tomato sauce tastes very tomatoey and it didn't take long to prepare.

This was our first visit to this branch having been to one in Manchester a few times. We managed to get a table outside and despite it being very busy we did not wait too long for the food. The pizza was as good as we remember and the best we have had in a long time, wood fired makes all the difference to the texture and taste...just delicious. Excellent salad too. Great value for this quality. Highly recommended.

Amazing Pizza. Desert was pretty good too.

Delicious pizza! Possibly the nicest I've ever had (although I haven't been to Italy!!). We booked a table for 7 and had a small wait for it to become free but once we'd been seated service was quick and the food was delicious.

Lovely pizza outside in the sunshine. Fantastico?

In a word, perfect. The pizza is true Napoli standard. The dough was amazing just the right level of topping.

Great food, great choice of drinks, ideal way to start a stag weekend 😋

Great service, delicious food, lovely surroundings. Best pizzas in Liverpool, thin & crispy bases with delicious toppings. Highly recommend

Possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had! Absolutely loved it.

Amazing pizza, definitely among the best we’ve ever had anywhere and definitely the best in Liverpool. We came last year on holiday from America and couldn’t wait to eat here again. Did not disappoint

Great food, everyone commented how lovely it was, very helpful and friendly service, thanks Ellie

Fantastic pizza and amazing salads. Highly recommended. I will definitely return when next in Liverpool.

I cannot say anything bad. Great service, great real pizza…

Treated myself to a cheeky solitary lunch, lovely pizza for a reasonable price. Staff including Emily were friendly. I'd heard good things and I wasn't disappointed

Ann, an italian lady, great attendance. Margherita with Buffala is delicious as well as burrata for starter. Lovely food and service.

Tiramisu is lovely- well worth going to have by itself.

Great food as usual. The special Caprino is to die for

The waiter was very kind, super friendly and patient with our level of English.

Pizza's were very tasty and Service was top. Only shame was that they shut the outside terrace so soon despite the warm weather :)

Everything was perfect. The pizzas are very good, plentiful and well stocked and the staff are adorable. You will (almost) think you are in Italy!

even though u came quite late, most places closing around me, I felt very welcome to come in and enjoy my pizza without rush. it was served so quickly! the natural lemonade was lovely, enjoyed the basic but lovely table decor, great touch. music was perfect. loud enough to not hear people's conversations, nice and upbeat. the staff, particularly Anna, were very warm and welcoming. I cant belive I had all of this under £30! amazing! if I could give constructive feedback would be crunchier base would be nice, but honestly I'd come back anytime!

The driver per app always stays in the background, long long wait 👎🏻

One of my favourite places to eat at. It has consistently excellent pizza and excellent service.

Loved this place. Great atmosphere, happy friendly staff. Pizza was the best I have had. First time here and only called in as was passing. Will definitely come back again from North Wales. Thank you

Loved visiting Rudy’s tonight! Came for a meal before a work event tomorrow and it was perfect - the food was 10/10, served really quickly and freshly cooked! And the service was amazing - Thanos served us and went above and beyond, and had an incredible memory for our order! Thank you!

Enjoyed going. We ate the pizza and we enjoyed it, definitely going again

In the beginning we had a very kind lady taking our orders, but halfway through we got someone else who didn't tell us that they were about to close, so after finishing our pizzas the bill was presented without even being given the option of getting a dessert, which was a bit of a bummer but nonetheless amazing pizzas that I would recommend - but I would tell you to not make a reservation too late in the evening :)

Great teamwork at this Rudy's. Pizza never disappoints.

One of the best italian pizzas you could have in UK! Well done 👏👏

Went here with my family. Make sure you are hungry, As the pizza's are big enough for one between two. Out standing pizza's and the cost is reasonable as well. Overall a place we will revisit when we are back over for another match.

Absolutely loved it and a special shout out to our server Maisie who took great care of us. Excellent pizza and service, look forward to returning next time I’m in Liverpool.

Amazing food! I grew up in Italy and this pizza was the closest to an Italian pizza I’ve ever had! Not only it was delicious, it came out faster than a Cesar salad I ordered. The service, the atmosphere and the drinks were fantastic as well. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in Liverpool!

Popped into and had a pizza and beer after work! Pizza was really tasty and beer was good! Got served pretty quickly kitchen is open, you can see them cooking the pizza’s in the giant size oven. Overall nice place and decent food. It’s worth a visit if you’re coming into Liverpool and need a quick bite to eat!

Pleasantly surprised, fabulous pizzas, friendly staff.Would go again.

Absolutely amazing. It’s impossible not to love this place. If you love pizza and want to feel closer to Italy, this is the place! Amazing taste! I really love them!

What a great place !! Super service in a clean welcoming place with a good vibe !! The pizza was cooked to perfection with ample toppings !! I will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Excellent crispy Neapolitan base but far too skinny on the toppings👎

Cozy pizzeria with nice "Italian" staff.

One of the best pizzas I've eaten this year! A safe place in Liverpool (especially if the pub turns you away at 8.30pm because they've closed the kitchen). Great!

Really enjoyed our meal here served by Emma H she couldn't have been more helpful one of the best meals out in a long time.

The only place where you'll be able to have a good pizza, the right pizza, is Rudy's. It's my first choice when it comes to it, perfect prices for what you get and it NEVER disappoints. Will never stop going back (coming from a guy from Naples).
