    The best pizza in town I have been to their Liverpool branch the taste identical. Try Margeritha. You will have the same pizza in Naples, Italy. Absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff. Pizza service was really quick. And usually crowded especially on weekends. However location was very central. I highly recommend this place for Pizza lovers

    Had a really lovely time here! All the staff were lovely. Some of the best cocktails I've had in a awhile and the best pizza I've had in Manchester. We also ordered coffee afterwards which was lovely. Would really recommend if you're looking for good quality pizza with a good variety of options!

    Outstanding dining experience. Seated straight away, great drinks, gorgeous food. Tiramasu divine. Finished off with an espresso martini. Big shout out to Jordan who gave fantastic, non rushed service. A very friendly, helpful guy.

    Fantastic stuff. Saw this place highly recommended for pizza in Manchester. Seated quickly, served by friendly people and food was ready only a few minutes after ordering (even though the restaurant was almost full) The pizza was absolutely tremendous, and it's so reasonably priced considering the quality of the ingredients and the location of the restaurant - half the price of generic fare like domino's or Papa John's.

    We got the margarita pizza with the bufala mozzarella. It was good, but we wish it would’ve had more cheese on it. Easy to get a seat without a booking and staff were very attentive. Good music!

    Rudy's is the pizza place to beat for sure! My partner and I have tried several different pizza places around Manchester and none of them match Rudy's. The ingredients are fresh, the dough is perfect and they don't skimp on the delicious toppings. We have brought friends from around the country on more than one occasion to try Rudy's for themselves, and they were not disappointed. The rosé wine and beer selection is also excellent to compliment the food. Looking forward to our next visit! 🍕

    Wow, this place is fantastic. Incredibly tasty pizza. Soft dough, topped with quality ingredients. I was sitting on the counter and got to see the pizzas being made. It's a lovely view, so much care and attention goes into each pizza that it's no wonder it tastes so good. Its a buzzing trendy restaurant and the service is excellent. From the moment you walk through the door and until you leave, happy and full. They also serve excellent beers on draft and the starters are good as well. The pricing is fair and the place was super clean and well managed. I will definitely come back again.

    Worth the hype! Went for lunch on a dreary Monday lunchtime, fortunately it wasn’t too busy so no queues. Sat on the stools by the pizza kitchen area which was interesting to watch. Service was quick and pleasant. The pizzas are amazing, best in Manchester. Aesthetics are very urban pizzeria in NY or back street of Rome cool. I’m looking forward to going back!

    A casual, yet nice pizza chain in Manchester. I had a good time at this location, and the food was great! I got the triple pepperoni, and thought it was delicious. I also thought their garlic sauce was great. The dough especially had a great flavor, and was nice and chewy. My critique is that the pizza may even be only just slightly undone, to the point that it becomes difficult to cut with a fork and knife, as it’s so stretchy. This would be fine, but the pizza came uncut, and did not have the structural integrity to be picked up, so actually eating the pizza was a surprisingly complex feat. Side sauces seemed a bit pricey at first (2 pound each), but they gave a great sized cup, so they are good value. I would recommend Rudy’s, and they make nice pizza, but I think they could improve by perhaps presenting the pizza differently. Currently, after it comes from the oven, it gets put on a solid plate, leading to the bottom of the crust slowly steaming and becoming “soggy.” Still great tasting, but it does contribute to the lack of structural integrity. Perhaps it would be better served on some sort of metal mesh surface, so the bottom is not steaming.

    This is a perfect place to get authentic Italian pizza in Manchester at a reasonable price. The pizza is made to order and cooked in the authentic pizza ovens. Lots of options on the menu including vegetarian choices. There is also a daily specials board which offers you a chance to try something new and seasonal. The restaurant is always busy so it has a great bustling exciting vibe, the service is fast and efficient. The tiramisu is homemade and the proper Italian way to end the meal. We love this place and will be back

    Was walking by Peter St, and saw this branch was super crowded with customers, so I had to pop in and try what was the hype about😤 Overall, the pizza was pretty good. The cheese was delicious and the salami was salty and savoury. I mean, not the most mind-blowing pizza I had...it was just a good pizza. I constantly added chilli peppers, black pepper, and chilli oil to suit it to my liking, but otherwise, I don't think I would enjoy it as much without them. 6.5/10 for the pizza. Meanwhile, the tiramisu was AMAZING. The dessert was done so well, and I was close to ordering a second one. The whipped cream was soft and silky. And the shortbread was soaked well in coffee and alcohol. 10/10 would recommend! The atmosphere was nice in there with minimal design and decor. You can even see how they make the pizza in the restaurant. The servers were also super friendly and ready to help anytime. Although the pizza was meh, everything else was a vibe!

    I am a regular customer but I will never return. Not even once have I eaten a pizza without it being burnt. Today at 2 pm I received another burnt pizza, after sitting for minutes with it on the table trying to have visual contact with someone from the staff, no chance, because they are not trained to have visual contact with customers. While waiting, the same waitress came and took our order. I told her that the pizza was burnt and that I refused to pay. I refused to pay because dozens of times I ordered for takeaway and at home I threw it away because it was always burnt. And every time I came to eat there, I also received it burnt and returned it back. Shame because the pizza is good She answered rudely, but isn't the other part of the pizza you ate burnt, how was it? I called the manager, he apologized and said that I was unlucky. Really every time? The Rudy’s was from Birmingham.

    Amazing pizza, awful service and staff. Lady on the door was unhelpful, asked for a table for 3 and she said it was 45 minutes. Came back 2 minutes later and she said she couldn’t do it anymore because she was moody and “situations change”. I got a table for 1 and there were plenty of tables for 3 or 4 all around me within 20 minutes. I then had to wait 10 minutes to be served, they forgot my dips, didn’t ask how my food was, had to go to the counter to get the bill. Even then he just typed the numbers in and didn’t say anything when I tapped to pay. All very unwelcoming. Two gentlemen next to me at the bar pizza table had asked for a beer at the end of their meal, they gave up when it didn’t arrive and asked for the bill. One was stood up for 5 minutes trying to get attention. They left unhappy. Go to the one in Didsbury if you want good service, I hosted a dinner for 22 people there on a Saturday night and the service was brilliant. Also 2 dips for £3 would be better as well or 3 for £4.

    Round the corner from our hotel, popped in for a table, no problem. Great service, really good atmosphere and food excellent. Nothing fancy, just a really well presented, tasty, crusty pizza 🍕 😋 Excellent all round.

    What can I say? The service was good, the pizza is out of this world. So good, the dough is so fresh. Proper neopolitan pizza. Such a great find I can't believe I've never been before. I will be back, I'll definitely be back. I was quite blown away. Pizza is usually just pizza, but this pizza was amazing.

    The best Rudy's Pizza place we have ever been. Delicious pizza. fresh side salads, cosy and friendly atmosphere. The price-quality ratio at the highest level. Totally happy with staff's service. Thank you for your job.

    Stopped in and got a pie for our kids. U had to snag a slice. It was good. I expected a crispy crust and it wasn't. So I folded it and gobbled it up. I would definitely order another. It was very tasty!

    “I’ve had the opportunity to try many pizzas in my lifetime, but I have to say that the one I had here was quite disappointing. As a Level 6 Google reviewer, I’ve had high expectations, and this pizza fell far short. The pizza base was overcooked i would say burned . The taste was underwhelming, and the overall experience left much to be desired. I hope they can improve their pizza quality in the future.” 🍕👎 #HonestReview

    Best pizza I’ve had in my whole life no cap! Please try their triple pepperoni pizza and tiramisu ❤️

  • 4/5 KloudManc 4 months ago on Google
    A very well-known pizza place in Manchester. Love the buzz of this place when it gets busy. A great venue for catching up with friends, and having a few pizzas and drinks after a long week. Quite good value.

  • 5/5 Adrina A. 4 months ago on Google
    When we first arrived Manchester, we headed to Rudys for some good pizzas. It was splendid indeed! Everything was perfect. The food, the service and the atmosphere. We came back few weeks later for our anniversary & we had tiramisu 🤭 with such a lovely & romantic atmosphere + great service! 💖 Definitely coming back for more!

  • 5/5 Michael G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Without a doubt the best pizza I have had anywhere in the UK so far. Absolutely delicious and well priced, the menu was unique without being too unfamiliar,the beer was crisp, the staff were great and I simply could not recommend it any higher. Magnificent!

  • 5/5 Steve O. 5 months ago on Google
    If you are in the mood for Pizza this is your place. Massive Pizzas , probably around 14 inch, with a fantastic base, so fresh. Great choice of toppings, friendly attentive staff, served in a great atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable and that includes the wine. This is a pizza place you will enjoy without breaking the bank.

  • 3/5 Ella K. 6 months ago on Google
    Second time at this branch and the pizza has been quite soggy and not great both times. Service was nonexistent we were waiting 40 minutes for him to ask us if we wanted anything else, we ended up giving up on more drinks and just asking for the bill.

  • 5/5 Nathan E. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was absolutely delicious. Service was fast. The staff were friendly. The atmosphere was nice. The garlic aioli was lovely. Would definitely go again.

  • 1/5 Ilan H. 6 months ago on Google
    Waiters were very nice but not a single Italian cook. They definitely don’t have the talent to make pizza. Mine was too salty with too much oregano. Coming alone they put me at the sort of bar which made the experience very uncomfortable. The ambiance was not really warm and the place too noisy. They also lied about the prices or they must have changed a lot. Would absolutely not recommend

    The food was absolutely fantastic, the service as well. I had to wait for my pizza for about 5 minutes- that was a nice surprise! 🩷 And my garlic 🧄 latte 🩷

  • 5/5 Brad L. 10 months ago on Google
    Popped in here after a recommendation. We booked a table and we arrived slightly early but our table was ready. Our server was soon over to offer some drinks and we ordered a couple of Poretti beers. I asked the server for recommendations on the Pizza and she didn't disappoint. We ordered the Carni and Cinghiale pizzas and OMG they looked amazing. Cooked fresh in a huge clay oven to order behind the prep area. Doubtful we'd be able to finish a whole pizza each we made a start. Not longer after during sips of cold beer and conversation we finished our pizzas. Absolutely delicious. We ordered one more beer and was given some complimentary olives. Overall, service, food and atmosphere was excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    This place is lovely. The vibe is so special and positive. People working there are so kind and make you feel home. The pizza is so Italian and delicious. Wine is good and the prices are reasonable. Definitely 10/10 recommended.

    - Great pizzas. - Staff members were very friendly. - Pizzas seemed to be bigger for sitting in than take aways.

  • 5/5 Nigel M. 7 months ago on Google
    Rudys is a firm family favourite, we often visit here when in Manchester. The pizzas are authentic and very tasty and it's good value for money. Service is also good

  • 5/5 James T. 7 months ago on Google
    As always Rudy's exceeds expectations. I'm always amazed by how well everything functions there. Gorgeous pizza and drinks all at affordable prices. I'd like to make a special call out to our waiter Dan. He did a fine job of attending to us quickly and politely. He went above and beyond to make us feel like we were the most important people in the room! Thanks so much.

  • 5/5 isla 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious pizzas with soft, crispy crusts. Not too heavy and easy on the palette. Would recommend. It is incredibly busy though, so try to book in advance.

  • 5/5 Fernando C. 7 months ago on Google
    For me this is the spirit of one Italian restaurant. All drinking products are from Italy.....the pizza offer really Italian...a wonderful meal experience. you can go to Italy without outside of Manchester.

  • 5/5 Alex H. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic meal at Rudy's Peter Street. Visited 22nd June, Thursday night, and it was busy, very busy. Glad we booked in advance as there were 9 of us staying in Manchester after a business meeting. The staff were really fast, friendly, helpful and well organised. Food was outstanding, absolutely delicious! Personally, I had the Romagnola pizza (which you can see in my photo) and I paid the extra for a while Burrata on top. Best pizza I've ever eaten. Finished with a Tiramasu which was light, creamy and tasty. All round a great night in a great restaurant.

  • 5/5 Dina A. 9 months ago on Google
    One of my frnds recommended this pizza place & im glad we came. we were lucky to find a place outside. ordered Tuna & margarita pizzas. it was delicious.

  • 4/5 Hanan 10 months ago on Google
    I went with my work colleagues today for lunch. We had a big table of 10. The staff were very friendly and polite. The pizza is too big (please consider implementing different size options!!) but delicious enough. We had a good time. Comment: 2 female toilets out of 3 were out of order, not great.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel.
