Rudy's Pizza Napoletana - Harborne in Birmingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food! Love Neapolitan style pizza so many flavours and options to choose from. The service was good but I noticed the waiters fingers touching the pizza as he served it. Since the pizza is too big for the plate it is served in. This is rather disgusting since the same waiter was seen touching his face and hair and collecting dirty plates without washing hands. Great atmosphere, inside the restaurant and outside area is nice too. With lamps/heaters to keep warm. It’s not that expensive, but costs can rack up if you add sides but you don’t need them since the pizza is filling enough in its own.

I suppose this review is more reflective of the company/chain than the Harborne branch; overall a nice local experience but have issues with the company not listing allergens online or providing an allergen menu when looking at the menu. Attended a few months ago to celebrate my birthday, we had looked at the menu in advance but unfortunately could only have 2-3 of the pizzas and 2-3 options for starters as the majority of food "may contain nuts" and my husband has a severe nut allergy. The allergies were checked after we'd received drinks and decided which food we wanted, so we had to re-choose. The pizzas we ordered were lovely and the service was fine so I'm glad we've tried it but was disappointed to not be able to order much for a celebration meal. He'd we known, we would'nt have chosen to celebrate there. Such a shame as well, as most fresh pizzas in other restaurants don't have this unnecessarily issue (why would nuts be involved with pizza?) and have suppliers which can provide a tomato base (apparently that was the culprit) which isn't at risk of being contaminated with nuts.

Good pizza as I'm always happy with the food. Service was great as there was someone asking a couple of times if everything is ok. We've been sitting outside so can't tell much about inside but from a quick look it was fine. What's not that good is that you have to pay for parking but it's not that expensive

I’ve been here multiple times lately and have to say Rudy’s hands down does the most authentic “soupy” Neopolitan pizza in the UK with the soft centre and thin dough. The portobello mushroom pizza is lovely as a vegetarian. The Harborne branch has the best customer service out of the three Birmingham branches I’ve visited, and it’s generally less busy so I prefer it. The staff are always really friendly and attentive, very organised and welcoming!

This is a great place with very good pizza and friendly helpful staff. A fantastic place for a birthday celebration.

Lovely place. Great food and service at a reasonable price.

Great food and customer service was great. Really attentive.

I attended the restaurant yesterday evening after having a really hard day of sitting a Law exam, that I believe I failed. I was so upset and had cried at the table, which I think Mai had noticed. Mai was really lovely and gave me a free brownie dessert as a gift to cheer me up. This act of pure kindness and thoughtfulness really cheered me up! I just wanted to say a massive thank you to her for showing such compassion. Amazing service, amazing lady. The pizza here is always lovely without fail.

Great food and the server we had was incredible with suggestions and descriptions of the different specials on offer

Great pizza! As always at Rudy's 👌

The dough on its own is amazing, flavourful, light texture. Add to that a wide selection of quality and interesting toppings and you've got pizza paradise. No wonder it's so popular.

Millie was really helpful, she gave us good advice on menu choices for our dietary requirements and bought out a lovely chocolate brownie dessert for my daughter’s birthday. Good food, service and atmosphere . Thank you

A big shout out to Isabella, we had a problem with Uber Eats missing half our order and she went above and beyond to ensure we were more than compensated - thank you so much!

Came here for my graduation dinner- food was amazing as always and exceptional service. Our server gave us a free brownie when she found out I had graduated! ⭐️ Amazing

First time visit, absolutely gorgeous vegan pizza. Felt like I was on holiday inside this place. Lovely attentive staff too :)

Charming little place. Lovely pizza, great service. Visited twice now and would recommend and would visit again

Food is superb. This is not our first time here coz you will definitely keep coming back for the food. BUT the service. The man who welcomed us was nice and friendly. THE LADY? Nah. We felt unwelcomed. She looked unhappy serving us. Then we saw her next table and she was all cheerful taking their orders.

Simply outstanding customer service! Both female waitresses were awesome, friendly, welcoming and a credit to hospitality. They brightened our days.

5 star food, nice staff but not as attentive as in a good Indian restaurant! It took a while to get someone to notice we needed assistance. Worth a visit though as the pizzas were delicious 😋

Amazing service from Eire!! Thankyou! Came here in a group of 7 with three dogs, with only an hour to eat and leave. Pizzas were so fresh and quick, and Eire was so helpful with our chaotic group :D They also gave our dogs food and water. Brownies also 10/10.

Great pizza, which came quite quick and we ordered them with extra toppings. Had the vegan options with extra cheese (I am vegetarian not vegan) which was surprisingly good and tasty.

All round goodness. Quality food - reasonable price and top service. Struggling to think how they could improve it really. Maybe one more choice of beer on tap 😜

Excellent pizza, I had the capricciosa and they allowed me to switch the olives out for caper at no extra cost. Amaretto Sour is a must have drink too!

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! This place is a regular in my rotation and never disappoints, whether I’m eating in or getting delivery. The food is always delicious and the service is always great. I’d definitely recommend!

Had a window seat great pizzas and drinks

Very good pizza, nice chilli oil that worked well.

Service was incredible. Many thanks to Eire for helping us so much - a we had a really annoying order (rushed for flight, brought dogs, complicated order) and the staff went above and beyond to be kind and helpful. Would very highly recommend :)

Last 2 months I have been there like 6 times))) great pizza and nice staff

One of the best Pizzas I've had in a long time. And the Rum Baba topped off a great evening. Definitely will be going back again soon.

The most ridiculous pizza I’ve ever eaten. I’ve ordered margarita. It was only a soft stone break baked bread and even it was not crunchy, with a small amount of tomato sauce and cheese in middle so I can say one third of the bread didn’t have anything on the top no sauce, no cheese the taste was absolutely normal.

Nice but was not my type of pizza had to ask what cheese they use since I cannot consume every type of cheese and I am glad I did so, they add parmesan cheese to the mozzarella, but you can ask them not to put it on your pizza and they will do it. The service is great.

Really good food. It was my first time at the Harborne branch and I hadn't been to a Rudy's in a few years so I was glad I decided to try it again. The pizza is genuinely the best I've tasted and the garlic bread with mozzarella was the perfect starter. The dips/sauces they have really help and the pricing in general makes it easy to come back often. I'll definitely be visiting again very soon!

Great food, amazing and friendly staff! Have been here many times and I cannot fault the staff. Pizzas are tasty just as good as the ones in Italy. Will definitely be back very soon for another enjoyable pizza and thank you to the staff for your excellent service. 😀

Cant fault a single thing. Food is prepared in view of everyone. So you know its fresh. Absolutely bang on.

the service was rude, the lady that greeted us with an under cut was cold and didn’t say hi or even smile. we then had our order taken drink and food and within 7/8 mins of our food order being taken our food was being served, we appreciate prompt service however not being given any time to enjoy our drinks isn’t the best but also screams that everything was just ready to go prepared and no freshness to our food. our x2 pizzas were burnt on the bottom with a really bad charcoaly burnt taste, however the top of the pizza was raw, sloppy and under cooked. so th oven was on too high of a temperature and our food didn’t cook properly which is super disappointing. this was the same with our garlic bread however this was probably worst as it was borderline inedible with how apparent the burnt taste was: we ordered x2 dips and didn’t get given these so I had to get up and ask for them as no one cqme to ask how our food was, because if they would have, all of it would have been sent back / complained about. we eventually when we had finished was asked if we had finished and I said yeah and it wasn’t very nice or it wasn’t great, expecting your served to ask me why. but no, no care in the world . we asked for boxes to take this home to hopefully warm it up and cook it at home for lunch no h tomorrow but it not be raw and this is the first rudys I have ever been too where they don’t box it for you. anyway overall, we went out for a nice anniversary meal at a chain that we absolutely love to receive rude service and very mediocre food, will stick to Bennett’s hill next time where our custom feels appreciated

A lovely restaurant. Worth a visit if you like the feel of an authentic Italian pizzeria when not in Italy.

Excellent place for tasty Pizzas. Highly popular and prior reservation is recommended.

Had a surprise birthday 🎂 dinner, pizza dough was fresh and the ingredients were fresh, cheese was creamy, had a long wait to be served but the staff was quite generous and didn't charge us for our meal. Chairs could be more comfortable, We enjoyed the company of my friends 😊🎉. would recommend and go again in the near future, food was delicious😋 and filling.

Highly recommend,we arrived really early but still accommodated,service and food excellent. Also ,although dough isn't gluten free ,my partner who is coeliac had no adverse effects ,,interesting!!!!

Although we ordered a takeaway, the food quality and atmosphere in the restaurant is always great. Good value around!

I've eaten here several times... always prompt and helpful service. The pizzas are so tasty 😋 cooked fresh to order and the base is so yummy! Surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. Would also recommend the sides and some interesting drinks options. The restaurant is in a good spot for people watching on the high st. It's normally always pretty busy, so I would recommend booking a table for evening dining.

Great bunch of people, specially Eire! The pizza Cinghiale was something else, highly recommended!! Its the best Price-quality you fan find anywhere, class.

Visited Rudy's on a sunny afternoon and were lucky to sit in their outdoor area. Lovely food, great service, and thoroughly enjoyed it! This place was missing from Harborne High Street!

I have been here in for may times, and today was the worst. First, it took us long time to get our food. We ordered few pizaas and ceaser salad. The salad was rubish, the mint was black ( most probably spent days in thier fridge). The pizzas were OK.

Came here for the first time yesterday with my friends and it was a wonderful experience. They have a a pleasant seating area, indoor and outdoor. They have a lovely range of drinks on the menu, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I heard many good things about their pizza and I was not disappointed. The ingredients tasted very fresh, the dough was light and crispy, the tomatoes had a tang and the cheese was light and creamy. I’ll definitely be coming back here again. Kudos to the staff as well, who are all really professional and lovely. Especially Eve, who has a keen eye for remembering peoples faces. ;)

Very busy, lovely staff and fantastic pizzas. The chocolate ice-cream was l lovely.

If your looking for a new pizza restaurant this is it. I normally visit pizza express but thought I would try this new place. Fantastic service food was perfect 👌 freshly cooked pizza from dough to toppings.

Excellent pizza, great taste. They charged me 1 pound for basil. Not sure if other places would do the same.

Great pizza but limited options for non-pork eaters

If I could give more stars for service I would! I visited with my daughter and 5 of her friends for her birthday today. The service was wonderful and made it so less stressful for me (it had been a heavy afternoon with bowling beforehand 🤣) and the pizzas were quick. I was touched by the free desert for the birthday girl. Everyone had a lovely time and although I've been here before, today was special. Thank you Rudy's ❤️

First of all the pizza was delicious 😋🍕. The location is great and it's a nice place. My issue was with the staff who hadn't cleaned the table that we sat on for a long time 😒. Even when I asked them, he just did it briefly and I had to clean it myself 😤. Secondly, I ordered bottled water and he brought Acqua Panna which is fairly expensive and the waiter brought 3 already opened bottles which I didn't appreciate because it made me believe that it wasn't actually Acqua Panna 🤨. But at the end of the day, the pizza was great and it deserves 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #pizza #delicious #greatlocation #poorstaff #expensivewater #5stars

Have been looking forward to a trip here for some time. We made it this week... and it did not disappoint us. Parking and access was simple... with a large public car park less than 40m away. We were cheerily met at the door and quickly seated. The ambience was warm and welcoming, and I like the industrial, utilitarian fit out. The cook line was open to , with the Pizzaiolos spinning dough for all to see. FoH were quick and effecient, drinks first whilst we interrogated the menu. The pizza was generous and well made, the crust was light and had a crunch and a chew. The sauce was also just right, not so overpowering so you could taste the delicious toppings. Overall a delicious meal experience and run as a proper Pizzaria should be... We will be back... 😎🍺🍕👍

Everything is nice. Pizza is delicious!

I went to the rudy’s in town a few years ago and was disappointed but the harborne rudy’s was great! The service was good and the pizzas came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Really enjoyed the pizza and the nduja aioli dip is just soooo good🤤

Pizza is fresh and great flavors. Dessert are basically out of the fridge and to your plate, over priced and not that great. Even the home made fresh tiramisu was mostly biscuit and not that great.

The food was amazing and the service exceptional

Great service, great food .. you should try their special pizza's, the Coppa, tallegio and leek is bellissimo!! When booking, if you don't want to sit in the children's area, make that clear.

I have to say the atmosphere and the pizza was really really nice what let it down was the service. in some parts, it was quite slow for example, getting our drinks order and then food order. It did also feel like it was a bit of a conveyor belt really and we really just wanted to have our drinks. First kind of catch up because I’ve not met this guy in quite a long time and then have our pizza and then have a little paws for like five or 10 minutes and then have our desserts. It was a little bit rushed and then once we had everything getting the bill was again a slow process it took about five or 10 minutes for the bill to come over and we had to try and hail someone. the ice cream was a bit of a letdown. I have to say it didn’t taste like strawberry. There is some gelato shops that are in the West Midlands that we’ve been to and you can really taste a strawberry it was very weak. It was very much tasted just like ice cream with no real flavor of strawberry. a little bit of a letdown really and the service was quite slow in some parts, and then it was just a service time was rather rushed at the end. Wasn’t the best as well. It was just a little bit off for me.

Lovely authentic pizza, my only quibble was that most pizza had pork of some description so difficult to dine with anyone who doesn't eat it. Atmosphere was 4 because it was early in the afternoon midweek so not many others there.

Myself and my partner enjoyed the pizzas. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I am vegetarian and had to order the vegan pizza because they use non vegetarian cheese on the pizzas including the margherita. It would be good to have a pizza with vegetarian cheese as an option as I would definitely go back then.

Great pizza restaurant. Will definately visit again.

We didn't book, but the front of the staff got us a table on a very busy night, they were amazing. The pizza was delicious probably one of the best I've had in Birmingham. Will definitely come again.

So many great places to eat in Harborne and this is another on the list. Pizza delicious and service very good, don’t be afraid to try a different style of pizza to your usual here and the nduja dip is so good

Absolutely loved my lunch at Rudy's. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The place is clean and it has a nice atmosphere. Pricing is also very good. The food is amazing!! I recommend the dip for the pizza crust!

So accommodating, friendly, lovely atmosphere! Best pizza in town by far! Thank you to the team at Rudy’s for a lovely meal x fantastic service too x

First timing visiting here today (Friday lunchtime) with our 3 year old and staff went above and beyond to help us/make our little one comfortable. Thank you to the lovely female staff member (brunette, arm tattoos :) Super fast service, lovely pizza, brownie and coffees were amazing too. Will definitely be back.

I have ordered take away from this restaurant several times. I must say be careful when ordering sauces as your sauces are most likely going to be all over the bag as they are very hard to transport. Recently I ordered from there and the delivery driver of Deliveroo delivered the pizza fine but the bag with the sauces in were all opened and there were drinks missing, later to find that he had dropped the bottles outside on the road and not picked up the glass and not let us know, howver that is another matter to be resolved with Deliveroo. I drove down to the restaurant to let them know of the situation and this is why they get 5 stars for service as they said it has happened several times with delivery drivers and they gave me all the sauces and drinks that were ruined. I then had to transport these back and realised why it was so difficult for someone on a scooter as I was in a car and had to drive carefully. The Pizza itself was very nice, they often don't put enough toppings on though as mentioned I have ordered from here several times and the lack of nduja is a common occurrence. My recommendation is once the pizza has been delivered to put it in the oven for about 10 mins and this takes the pizza to another level. Highly recommend the garlic aioli and hot honey dips.

You know the pizza’s good when you’re surrounded by italians. Best pizza I’ve had in this country mixed with warming atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Authentic, delicious pizza, would highly recommend!!!! My son had a free dessert as it was his birthday. Big up Mai for looking after us and also the chefs for the skills and cooking with a smile

Great pizzas, love the spicy dips, lovely staff and atmosphere. Definitely recommend 👌🏼

Great food, pizza's were exceptional. Staff were friendly, helpful and service time was also very good. Definitely go again very soon.

Best pizza outside of Italy. Yum

A fantastic pizza and some of the best Italian deserts I have ever had.

Staying locally for work, and did little search of places to eat in the area, and Rudy's came up highly rated. And it didn't disappoint. I'm glad I booked too! Great buzz and vibe. Greeted at the door, shown to my table, order taken swiftly, and my triple pepperoni pizza was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff, you can watch the pizzas being made. WARNING! The garlic bread is huge. Order with caution. Nice ambience. Pizzas are made very quickly, rustic-looking and, of course, taste delicious. Definitely the best I've tasted outside of Italy and would give the Italian pizzerias a run for their money. The garlic aioli is highly recommended. Completely stuffed or would have ordered dessert. Will definitely be back.

Incredible food! First time eating in and it did not disappoint!

Very very delicious pizza 🤤😍,nice and fresh food,I recommend this restaurant 😍

Good pizza but simple decor. Really authentic pizza similar to Sorrento or the whole Campania region.

Fantastic pizza, service and atmosphere! We had a great time!

Love Rudys. This location is one of the best I’ve been too, great atmosphere and great service. Also really convenient (paid) parking behind. The special ‘almost carbonara’ was so tasty.

Fantastic food tonite, very quick service.. thank you once again Rudys Harborne 👌👌👌

Been a few times now, very authentic GREAT quality and surprisingly good value. Highly recommend

Excellent food and service on a busy Thursday evening

I can't recommend Rudy's enough. In any of their locations the food is always amazing. Staff is great, friendly and accommodating.

Simply the best pizza in Birmingham. Fast and friendly service. Great atmosphere, as you can only be cheerful when you eat such high-quality meals. Excellent value/price ratio. We went on a weekday night, as a family (w three children), and saw couples, groups of friends, and families). Totally recommended!

Absolutely superb pizza here, will definitely pay a visit to Rudi's again! Jess our waitress was also brilliant and attentive.

I Went for a late lunch with my 16 month old and the staff were so polite, attentive and genuinely really helpful throughout my entire lunch. This was my first time and I would definitely recommend visiting as I’ll be returning with my entire family next time. Also the food is great value and comes out really quickly which is always a bonus when you’re dining with young children.

Amazing food, atmosphere and customer service. There was a gentlemen I think he's name was Louis, he could of been a manager as he looked and acted like one, but I didn't ask. He was welcoming and recommended some delicious food and dessert. Will be visiting again. Amazing. Thank you

When we arrived I realised we had accidentally booked a table at the wrong branch. Despite the bustling atmosphere and the uncertainty of being accommodated, the experience turned out to be nothing short of fantastic. A kind and attentive lady at the restaurant went above and beyond to ensure we had a table for four, making us feel welcomed and valued amidst their busy schedule. The service we received was extraordinary. The staff, with their friendly smiles and attentive service, made our dining experience even more delightful. It's rare to find such a warm and inviting atmosphere paired with professionalism, especially on a hectic night. As for the food, it was superb. Each bite of pizza was a testament to the quality and passion behind their dishes. It's clear that this restaurant doesn't just serve food; they serve experiences. The flavors, the ambiance, and the exceptional service have left a lasting impression on us. We are beyond grateful for the accommodation and the wonderful evening we spent. This experience has not only solidified our love for their pizzas but has also made us fans of their outstanding customer service. We will definitely be coming back for more of those delightful dishes and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to the incredible staff and management for making our night so memorable.

Service was not as good as Bennetts hill but was good. Staff seemed a little rushed off their feet with bigger tables. Had to ask for the bill twice and a card machine at the bar as couldn’t seem to get anyones attention. No drama but had somewhere else booked after the meal.

10/10 freshest pizzas and fun to be able to sit and watch them being made 😙

Best pizza in area and lovely service ♥️🍕

Terrible service, 2nd time trying, the water he didn’t care big let down as the pizza is very good, if you want good service go to the city center big let down as was happy to see it come to harboune but unlikely to return big let done!!

Most delicious pizza I have ever had.

I've been here before and loved everything but a bit disappointed this time. Tried the margarita with olives and one of their specials, the saliccia pizza. Both had a bit too much cheese for our liking, and this took away from other toppings. We have had their pizzas before and do not remember this being the case. The special pizza didn't work for me. The caprice salad could do with more basil. No one came to check on us after we started eating.

Brilliant. Heard good stuff about Rudy's in Brum and really enjoyed our visit. Our welcome was lovely and the staff throughout were superb. Nice place, atmosphere and food. My pint of Poretti was a nice drop and the tiramasu up there with the deserts we sampled in Italy. Great strong Italian coffee to finish the evening. Price is cheaper than a Domino's takeaway and much better. Pizza's must be close to a large size takeaway pizza. Hope to return soon.

I only had a takeaway after not being able to have a table . The waiting time was 1h , so next time, I will definitely book in advance , so don't go on a Saturday evening without booking as it's full . The pizza was absolutely delicious 😋

Visited rubys this evening and so glad l did the manager Louis welcomed us the service from all the staff was excellent l took my air BnB lodger who is from Louisiana she treated me as it’s her last night of staying with me Lorna lived in Italy for 4 years and said her pizza at Rudys was one of the best she had ever tasted. She lived the ambience and the open kitchen so we could watch the pizzas cooking. I’m so glad we went lve been there several times before and the standard of the food and the service is excellent

Unfortunately my pizza was disappointing however my partner enjoyed his. Ordered a pizza with porchetta, potatoes etc.. the dough was very chewy, overall bland in taste; I had to put salt over it 🙈.. I grew up eating porchetta in Italy as in the region Marche is extremely popular and I couldn’t recognise what meat was on my pizza.. it looked like ham. Louis on the other hand was super attentive, offered for my pizza to be replaced which I insisted to keep as I wished to eat together with my partner, (after all it wasn’t inedible) and not necessarily I would have enjoyed the replacement if that’s the way they do the dough. The tiramisu’ was really nice, the coffee used was very good. If it wasn’t for Louis’ excellent customer service skills I would have given 2 stars. I would definitely give it a second chance.

Fantastic Place, real Napolitana Pizza.

Ots amazing my granddaughter loves it the food is a amazing the workers are so kind the food is the best
