9 Cotton St Ancoats Manchester M4 5BF United KingdomRudy's Pizza Napoletana - Ancoats is most popular around 5 PM on Saturdays. Visitors usually stay 1-1,5 hours here. It's most quiet on Mondays.
For us it’s all about the pizza. Just like in Naples, our dough is made on site every day, takes 24 hours to double ferment and just 60 seconds to cook. It is soft, light and floppy… so fold for strength or tuck in with a knife and fork. Enjoy.
