Friends and supporters of Erdington Foodbank, along with Rudy's enthusiasts, are invited to attend as the team puts its training into practice. All proceeds from the evening, including funds raised through a raffle, will be donated to Erdington Foodbank. Bookings for this special charity night are available now, offering a chance to enjoy great food while supporting a worthy cause.
Commitment to Traditional Neapolitan Pizza Craftsmanship
Rudy's is renowned for serving fresh, authentic Neapolitan pizza daily, adhering to traditional methods passed down by masterful Neapolitan pizzaioli. The team takes pride in preparing dough fresh every day using 00 Caputo flour, double fermenting it for 24 hours. Each pizza showcases the Holy Trinity of Neapolitan ingredients: 00 Caputo flour, San Marzano tomatoes from the foot of Mount Vesuvius, and Fior di Latte mozzarella, known as the world's creamiest. This dedication ensures an unparalleled pizza experience that has made Rudy's a nationwide favourite since its launch in 2015, growing from one restaurant in Manchester to over 37 pizzerias across the UK.
Well-Stocked Bar and Job Creation in Sutton Coldfield
Complementing its pizza offerings, Rudy's features a well-stocked bar that enhances the traditional Naples experience. Visitors can enjoy iconic Italian spritzes, crisp Italian and local lagers, classic stirred cocktails, and seasonal specials like mango margaritas or limoncello spritzes, perfect for warmer weather. The new opening has also created 20 jobs in the local area, spanning roles in the kitchen, front of house, and management, contributing positively to the Sutton Coldfield community.
Neal Bates of Rudy's Pizza Napoletana expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, "We're incredibly excited to be bringing Rudy's to Sutton Coldfield. 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." This opening promises to bring a taste of Naples to Birmingham, reinforcing Rudy's reputation for quality and authenticity.
