Quick info
About Rudy's Pizza Napoletana - Didsbury
Rudy's Pizza Napoletana - Didsbury is a Neapolitan restaurant in Manchester, at 653 Wilmslow Rd. The kitchen makes its pizza dough on site every day, ferments it twice over 24 hours, and cooks each pizza in 60 seconds. Children can make their own pizzas, which gives younger diners a hands-on part in the meal. Waiting staff provide table service, and tables can be booked in advance. Birthday celebrations come with a dessert, such as a brownie or tiramisu, and a birthday dance from the staff. The restaurant opens daily, and peak times are busy, with loud music and chatter. Rudy's also runs another location in north Manchester.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the pizza, calling it delicious and, in one case, the best they have had, with the food arriving quickly and fresh in dine-in and delivery orders alike. Close behind is the staff, described as kind, welcoming and accommodating. Birthday celebrations come up repeatedly: one table received an extra pizza and a shared tiramisu, another a birthday dance and dessert, and a third had staff fetch vanilla ice cream for a brownie. One family describes a manager letting the kids make their own pizzas, and tiramisu and brownie are the desserts named. Drinks are also called delicious. The complaints are specific. One diner found the service slow and disorganised on a very busy visit and thought the music far too loud to hear their table, though staff apologised. One delivery customer reports finding a used plaster in the crust and says a complaint to the restaurant and Deliveroo had gone unanswered. Even so, the late-pizza visit ended with staff comping that pizza, which that diner appreciated.

“Delicious food, especially the pizza and super friendly and helpful staff. I was particularly impressed that staff where so kind and accommodating both when booking and when we arrived to make sure that my brother who uses a large electric wheelchair, was comfortable and attended to. It was extremely busy when we visited and that seemed to make the service a bit slow and disorganised but staff were apologetic and comped us a pizza that was very late which we really appreciated. We did unfortunately find the music far too loud which combined with the general noise of chatter, made it really hard to hear other members of our party at our table.”

“Just couldn’t wait to get back to Manchester so I could get more Rudy’s pizza. We ordered delivery for 4 pizzas from their Didsbury location (we usually visit the north Manchester location). Everything was excellent, as usual. Pizzas arrived quick and hot. The didn’t last long though - we ate them all in one sitting. Try Rudy’s - you will absolutely love it 5-star all the way! Thanks Rudy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“For us it’s all about the pizza. Just like in Naples, our dough is made on site every day, takes 24 hours to double ferment and just 60 seconds to cook. It is soft, light and floppy… so fold for strength or tuck in with a knife and fork. Enjoy.”
