Eating out, Rudy’s Pizzeria
If you’re looking for a relaxed neighbourhood pizzeria, Rudy’s is your place. The Neapolitan pizzeria has been named the 10th best pizzeria in the world and it doesn’t surprise us. The dough is made on site each day and there’s sure to be a topping-choice that’ll appeal to even the fussiest of eaters. There are two Manchester restaurants to choose from – one in Ancoats and their second is on Peter Street (both are walk-in only).
