Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana has announced it will fire up the pizza oven and open the doors of its brand-new Bristol restaurant at 12pm on Monday.

Located in the heart of Bristol’s city centre, the pizzeria breathes new life into the former Royal Bank of Scotland branch on Baldwin Street, which has stood vacant since 2021. The expansive 3,000sq ft venue is ready to accommodate over 120 guests indoors, while its outdoor seating area has space for 35 more, perfect for enjoying sunny days al fresco like a true Neapolitan.

The opening marks Rudy’s first venture into the South West and its 34th restaurant to date, following the brand’s rapid growth and loyal following across the country for its authentic Neapolitan pizza, signature dips and classic Italian desserts.

Locals are encouraged to reserve a table ahead of the anticipated opening rush, where they’ll be able to enjoy Rudy’s signature pizzas, including the Magherita Con Bufala and Triple Pepperoni, alongside a regularly changing line up of monthly specials, launching with The Philomena, Fresca Primavera + Diego’s Diavola.

To celebrate its latest opening, the Rudy’s team will also be hosting a pre-opening charity night on Sunday 27 July at the new restaurant. Friends of the charity Young Bristol are invited for an evening of pizza, celebration and community spirit.
