Diners can expect classic recipes such as Marinara, Margherita and Calabrese.
Rudy’s say they believe ‘Neapolitan pizza to be the best in the world’ and will be using dough made fresh daily using Caputo ‘00’ flour which ferments for at least 24 hours.
Chefs will also use ingredients imported twice a week from Naples, including San Marzano tomatoes grown on fields next to Mount Vesuvius, and Fior di Latte mozzarella.

They have pledged to make the dough fresh on site every day and to cook it in wood fired ovens for just 60 seconds, all in accordance with Neapolitan pizza tradition.
This ensures the crust will be left soft and floppy with a leopard patterned cornichon (crust).
Rudy’s are also recruiting pizzaioli – a chef who specialises in making pizzas – and a front-of-house team.
