"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."

"Rudy’s is so good, it’s always a pleasant surprise when you get the bill and remember just how budget-friendly it really is. Pizza prices range from £6.30 – £10.50 (the more expensive options being the meatier ones!), and each pizza is bigger than the huge plate its served on. The value for money is incredible, particularly since it’s officially the best pizza in the UK, and the atmosphere is perfect for a catch-up with mates."

"What: Pizza restaurant Rudy’s has proved popular with foodies, now operating a handful of sites across the northern region. At this Ancoats location, you can enjoy your pizza on one of a handful of benches outside of the restaurant, which are perfect for small groups.

Everything is made onsite, every day, and it's all good, from the elegant simplicity of the beautifully light, bouncy focaccia, dressed with olive oil, rosemary and sea salt, to classic toppings such as broccoli, sausage and chilli."

"While ice cream isn’t their raison d’etre, Northern Quarter pizzeria Slice offer the continental experience in abundance, allowing you to eat al fresco in Stevenson Square with a cup of their custom-made gelato.
