RUDY’S PIZZA NAPOLETANA WORCESTER ANNOUNCES OPENING DATE

Neighbourhood pizzeria Rudy’s has announced it will be opening its doors to guests in Worcester from 22nd November, with bookings now live

From 22nd November, customers will be able to enjoy Rudy’s iconic pizzas in the centre of Worcester, just in time for Christmas.

The two-floor pizzeria, split across two floors, will offer approximately 115 indoor covers and 12 outdoor covers, showcasing Rudy’s signature minimalist charm and laid-back vibe for pizza lovers to relax and unwind, seven days a week. Bookings are now live and can be made via this link.

On 21 November, the Rudy’s Worcester team will be showing their support for local charity St Richard’s Hospice, while giving the team a final opportunity to put their training into practice. The restaurant will open its doors for a charity night, with all proceeds going towards St Richard’s Hospice, a local charity offering free, expert care and support to adults with incurable illnesses, including cancer and neurological, respiratory, cardiac and renal conditions. The charity also supports patients’ loved ones and carers across Worcestershire.

Bookings for the charity night can also be made through this link.

From 22 November, Rudy’s Worcester will be serving fresh, authentic Neapolitan pizza daily. The team believes Neapolitan pizza is the best in the world and adheres to traditional methods passed down by masterful Neapolitan pizzaioli. They take pride in preparing their dough fresh every day using 00 Caputo flour, double-fermenting it for 24 hours. Crafted with authentic Neapolitan ingredients, Rudy’s pizzas showcase the Holy Trinity: 00 Caputo flour, San Marzano tomatoes from the foot of Mount Vesuvius, and the world’s creamiest mozzarella, fior di latte.

While pizzas are a key part of Rudy’s, guests wouldn’t have a traditional Naples experience without a well-stocked bar. Visitors will be able to enjoy iconic Italian spritzes, crisp Italian and local lagers, and classic stirred cocktails, along with cocktail specials such as the Spiced Red Berry Hugo Spritz.

Since launching in 2015, Rudy’s has grown from one restaurant in Manchester to more than 41 pizzerias nationwide. The Worcester restaurant marks the sixth opening in the West Midlands, following the popularity of its city centre, Brindley Place, Harborne, Royal Leamington Spa and Sutton Coldfield sites.

The new opening has created 20 jobs in the local area, spanning roles in the kitchen, front of house, and management.

Commenting on the new opening, Neal Bates of Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing Rudy’s to Worcester. Our team is passionate about serving the most authentic Neapolitan pizza, and we can’t wait for people in the area to experience the flavours that have made Rudy’s a nationwide favourite.”

Testament to its authenticity, Rudy’s is the largest organisation in the UK to be accredited by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the international body that protects and promotes traditional Neapolitan pizza-making.

In 2025, Rudy’s was also recognised as one of the World’s 50 Best Pizzerias, ranking 23rd globally. Each pizza, from the classic Margherita to the fiery Calabrese, is made to AVPN standards using traditional techniques and ingredients sourced directly from Italy.

Bookings are open now via the Rudy’s website. To make a reservation or for further information on the charity night, please visit: www.rudyspizza.co.uk/worcester-charity-night/
