Rudy’s confirms next Manchester pizzeria is in the bank

Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana has announced that it will bring its relaxed dining experience and renowned Neapolitan pizzas to Prestwich this December, and local foodies can claim one of 3,000 free pizzas here.

The new pizzeria will be located in the heart of Prestwich, transforming the former Barclays Bank building on Bury New Road, which has stood vacant since August 2022.

The spacious 3,000 sq ft venue will offer 150 covers, including a 30-seat covered courtyard to retain the charm of the building’s original features.

As the brand continues its mission to bring its well-loved neighbourhood concept to fans in Manchester’s vibrant suburbs—following the success of venues in Didsbury, Sale, and most recently Altrincham—this will mark the eighth location in Greater Manchester and the first in North Manchester.

The new spot will deliver a fresh new dining option to Prestwich’s blossoming food and drink scene, offering its famous pizzas, delicious dips, and classic Italian desserts. Whether dining with family or friends, guests can enjoy Rudy’s signature relaxed vibe while indulging in the brand’s iconic and exciting menu right on the high street.

Since launching in 2015 in Ancoats, Rudy’s quickly gained a cult following for its authentic Neapolitan dough and quality ingredients, and the new opening will mark the brand’s 29th pizzeria in the country.

Born from a passion for pizza, Rudy’s follows the authentic Neapolitan tradition of pizza-making, serving classic recipes such as Marinara, Margherita, and Calabrese—all originating from Naples, the birthplace of pizza. Alongside these year-round favourites, Rudy’s pizzaioli craft two rotating specials every six weeks, inspired by the freshest seasonal ingredients and influences from iconic pizzerias across Italy.

The brand’s pizza-making centres on ‘the holy trinity’ of ingredients sourced directly from Naples: Caputo ‘00’ flour for a light, airy crust, San Marzano tomatoes grown on the plains of Mount Vesuvius, and creamy Fior di Latte mozzarella, all combining to create the true taste of Neapolitan pizza.

Neal Bates of Rudy’s said: “We can’t wait to re-open the doors of this previously unloved venue in Prestwich and share our passion for Neapolitan pizza with our North Manchester fans and future Rudy’s lovers!

“With its ever popular high street, lively vibe and welcoming community, Prestwich is the perfect place for our next adventure, and we look forward to joining the incredible food and drink spots already here and contributing to the suburb’s success.”

The new Rudy’s Prestwich will create up to 40 jobs in the local area, including both front-of-house and pizzaiolo positions. Applicants can send CVs to: [email protected].
