  “Been here many times, food always great. Minor negative is there is only 1 vegan option on the menu so to create your own becomes expensive my vegan create your own became more expensive than 1 with 3 types of meat. Perhaps a better idea would be a set price to create your own.”

  “Fantastic experience at Rudy’s Newcastle. We are on holiday from Scotland and chose to celebrate our anniversary and our son’s 15th birthday with you. You made us feel so special and the food was outstanding. I am fussy when I eat out as food and service needs to be exceptional - well you smashed it right out the park without being overbearing. Thank you guys - especially Mark and Martha. See you next time”

  “The rooood is gooood, my mate was planting pebbles in his shorts as he recommended this place and I was excited yet dubious. Alas there is nothing to be concerned about my lads and lasses as the pizza is blumming dynamite and the staff are lush. They act like the old 'im walking ere' kinda family vibes and its runs like a smooth operator.Pizza was unreal and highly digestible . Happy days and highly recommended.”

  “Amazing pizza!! I ordered the veggie 'nduja ortolana. It was really well made and the flavours worked well together. The staff were really friendly, especially the man with the American accent who greeted us at the entrance (sorry we didn't catch your name) The restaurant had a nice atmosphere but it was a little bit too loud at some points. We even misheard the server who asked if we wanted the bill. My friend thought he asked if everything was alright. We actually wanted to order dessert but had the bill handed to us instead. I would definitely come here again but maybe during the daytime hours.”

  “Delicious food in a vibrant restaurant, and quick service with a smile. The stracciatella was creamy and fresh, and garlic aioli was decadent. Well worth the price and wood go there again.”

  “Great quality ingredients and skill make a good pizza. Sat at the tables by the kitchen and watched the team work. Had to wait to be seated as we hadn't booked. Not an issue as we drank cocktails at the bar which were nice too!”

  “Given wrong pizza and Rude staff, possible poor kitchen cleanliness? - need to work on their customer service skills. Ordered for delivery and was given the wrong pizza. Ordered a Salsiccia which it says on the box and inside was a complete different pizza. When called up the man who answered was very rude and made it feel like it was our fault. Not even a sorry. Was told on the phone not to order online as well as they can’t promise cross contamination on delivery orders. Have to question the cleanliness of their kitchen and how they handle food…… Sad as usually order from Rudy’s and won’t be again. Customer service training obviously needs to be put into place as seen similar reviews about staff being rude.”

  “The pizza is absolutely delicious. Some of the best pizza you’ll taste. Cost is very reasonable and will them being so big, having fewer pizzas than people doesn’t feel stingy. Service was great too. The manager - a bearded American guy - was really friendly and helpful.”

  “Nice city centre location and gets great reviews, just probably chose the worst time to go, early December and it absolutely marred the night. It was noisy beyond belief with no music or atmosphere and crammed full. Decor quite warehouse like and industrial but i liked it. We were sat on a table where we literally had to shout at each other to be heard. Waiter was friendly enough but attempted to hard sell upgrading from glasses to bottles of wine, didnt grasp we were all driving despite being told twice. Menu very limited and to be honest, food was mediocre. Waited around 15 minutes from ordering which is ok. Pizza crust burned and very little cheese on the pizza, middle seemed undercooked. Ceaser side salad was mostly the bitter yellow bits of lettuce you throw away with little dressing. Plenty of fresh parmesan though. The Tiramisu saved the meal but £7 was a bit steep for what you get in a small drinking glass. Toilets down steep stairs and mens/women's in some room which I didnt like. Also, whole staircase smelled like rotten eggs! Overall quite a disappointing experience. I dislike giving reviews on the negative side but im being honest. I'd give it another go when its less busy, less noisy and it can be a more leisurely experience and the food is 'less put together quickly'. Sorry Rudys, I wanted to love it, I just didn't.”

  “I’ve been to a few of these now so, when in Newcastle, I was a bit torn between here and Pizza Punks opposite, as I’ve never been to one of those. They looked quite similar though, so in the end my sense of familiarity won out and I opted for this Rudy’s. The other one also had some odd looking customers sitting in the window. Premises probably an old shop or bank, inside it’s the usual mixture of eclectic furniture, exposed concrete and wood. - retro shabbiness. Whatever they call that style. Looks less like an actual building site than the York one though. Very quiet restaurant, with about six occupied tables, so surprised to be offered the ‘pizza bar’ to sit at - I know I was only one, but who wants to sit with their back to the room.. no thanks. Requested a table instead, which was offered. Note to self though, not a place to visit alone when actually busy, as wouldn’t want to sit at the counter. All very polite, although I suspect this was the ‘least favoured’ table as it was by the door, but I rather liked it, could see why was happening. probably less good when restaurant is busy. Service was very good, as you’d expect as there were lots of staff and it was quiet. Drink and food ordered and received quickly. All present and correct. Opted for the triple pepperoni, which comes with some lush meat and. Hot honey drizzle. Tasty. The pizzas here are fresh. But I can never finish them… very big 😆 No sides or pudding, for I was full. Some interesting looking specials - a pizza with bolognaise always sounds good, but not with aubergine… Anyway, this is a decent pizza place, I’d come here again. I don’t come to Newcastle much these days, but it’s always been a good place to go out for a meal, nice to see that remains so.”
