Rudy's Pizza Napoletana, Neapolitan pizzeria in Manchester, Great Britain.
Rudy's Pizza Napoletana is a pizzeria on Peter Street in Manchester, serving pizzas made in the Neapolitan style with imported ingredients. The menu is focused and short, built around a handful of classic combinations using Caputo flour, Fior di Latte, and San Marzano tomatoes.
Rudy's was set up following the rules of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the body that protects the origin and methods of authentic Neapolitan pizza. The ovens were sourced from Stefano Ferrara, a Neapolitan craftsman whose family has been building pizza ovens for generations.
The pizzas at Rudy's are shaped by hand and baked in wood-fired ovens brought over from Italy, so the process is visible from the counter. Sitting close to the kitchen, you can watch the dough being pulled and topped before it goes into the fire.
The restaurant sits at Petersfield House on Peter Street and is easy to reach on foot from the city centre. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially in the evening or at weekends, as the place tends to fill up quickly.
Rudy's offers a Bake-at-Home option where customers can take away a raw topped pizza and finish it in their own oven. The packaging comes with a short guide so the result at home stays close to what comes out of the restaurant's wood-fired oven.
