Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana has announced its new Altrincham restaurant will open next month, creating up to 30 new jobs.
The cult pizza brand will be opening in the former One Central food hub on Central Way in July.
Rudy’s is currently giving a major facelift to Charis House, introducing a new mezzanine level, extension to the side/rear and repositioning of the external stairwell.
The finished restaurant will have over 100 covers, alongside outdoor dining options.
Since launching in 2015 in Ancoats, Rudy’s has gained a cult following for its Neapolitan pizzas, and the new opening will mark the brand’s seventh pizzeria in Greater Manchester and its 27th in the country.
Rudy’s follows the authentic Neapolitan tradition of pizza-making, using dough made fresh daily with Caputo ‘00’ flour, San Marzano tomatoes grown on fields next to Mount Vesuvius, and Fior di Latte mozzarella.
In accordance with authentic Neapolitan techniques, the dough is cooked in a Stefano Ferrara oven for around 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, said: “We’re really excited about bringing Rudy’s authentic Neapolitan pizza to Altrincham, joining the community and getting to know our neighbours in this bustling suburb.
“We can’t wait to launch our newest site in Greater Manchester and welcome both residents and visitors to enjoy a slice of Naples right here in Altrincham.”
The new Rudy’s Altrincham will create up to 30 jobs in the local area with both front of house and pizzaiolos positions.
Recruitment days for both full and part time positions will be held closer to the opening date.
