Pizza chain offering real Neapolitan experience ready to open new restaurant in Sutton Coldfield

Rudy's Pizza Napoletana has announced it will open its Sutton Coldfield pizzeria in March, bringing its fan-favourite, true Neapolitan pizza to pizza lovers across the town and surrounding area.

The new pizzeria will be set in a spacious 3,360-square-foot unit across two floors, with approximately 100 covers internally and 32 externally for dining, and will create more than 20 new jobs, with roles in the kitchen, front of house and management.

There will also be the opportunity to secure a free pizza through Rudy’s Pizza on Us’ giveaway, which will see 3,000 pizzas given away to fans who sign up via a web link.

Visitors will also be able to wash down their food with iconic Italian spritzes, crisp Italian and local lagers, and classic stirred cocktails.

Since launching in 2015, Rudy’s has expanded from a single pizzeria in Manchester to 37 locations nationwide and the Sutton Coldfield restaurant marks the fifth opening in the West Midlands, following on from Birmingham city centre, Brindley Place, Harborne and Royal Leamington Spa.

Neal Bates of Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana said: “We're super excited to announce the opening of our Sutton Coldfield pizzeria. 

"Perfectly located for a spot of lunch, mid-shop or an evening dinner in the centre of town, whatever the occasion, we’re here to provide a slice of Naples right here in Sutton Coldfield.”

Rudy’s quickly gained a cult following for its authentic Neapolitan dough and high-quality ingredients. 

Rooted in a passion for pizza, Rudy’s stays true to Neapolitan tradition, serving classic recipes such as Marinara, Margherita and Calabrese, all inspired by Naples, the birthplace of pizza. 

Alongside these year-round favourites, Rudy’s Pizzaioli craft three rotating specials every six weeks, inspired by famous pizzerias in Naples.

Testament to its authenticity, Rudy’s is the largest organisation in the world to be accredited by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the international body that protects and promotes traditional Neapolitan pizza making.

In 2025, Rudy’s was also recognised among the World’s 50 Best Pizzerias, ranking 23rd globally, with each pizza, from the classic Margherita to the Calabrese, made to AVPN standards using traditional techniques and ingredients sourced directly from Italy.
