Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana – Opening This Spring in Headingley

The opening of Rudy’s third Leeds pizzeria on Otley Road will be celebrated with the offer of 2,500 free pizzas as this latest branch is added to those in the City Centre and at Chapel Allerton. You can sign up for a free pizza here.

Rudy’s uses the authentic Neapolitan tradition of pizza making, serving classic recipes such as Marinara, Margherita and Calabrese – all originating from Naples, the birthplace of pizza.

The pizza dough is made fresh daily, using Caputo ‘00’ flour, which ferments for at least 24 hours. The best quality ingredients are imported from Naples, including San Marzano tomatoes, grown on fields next to Mount Vesuvius, and Fior di Latte mozzarella.

Made with authentic Neapolitan technique, the dough is cooked in a Stefano Ferrara oven for just 60 seconds – resulting in a soft and light pizza with an airy and raised cornicione (the edge or rim of the pizza).

Neal Bates, Managing Director of Rudy’s: “We are delighted to announce that our next Rudy’s site will be located on Headingley’s bustling Otley Road. Leeds has been incredibly welcoming to the Rudy’s famiglia since we first opened here in 2020, and we can’t wait to expand our sites in this City. Headingley is a great location for Rudy’s, and we can’t wait to open our doors this Spring.”

Rudy’s is on the lookout for their kind of people and are now recruiting pizzaioli and
front-of-house team. Find out more here.
