Rudy\u2019s Pizza Napoletana has announced it is opening the opening date for its first Bristol restaurant. Located in the heart of Bristol\u2019s city centre, the pizzeria will breathe new life into the former Royal Bank of Scotland branch on Baldwin Street, which has stood vacant since 2021.<\/p>\n
The expansive 3,000 sq ft venue will open from 12pm on Monday (July 28) and will 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 venue will also bring around 35 jobs to the local area.<\/p>\n
The opening marks Rudy\u2019s first venture into the South West and its 34th restaurant to date, following the brand\u2019s rapid growth and loyal following across the country for its authentic Neapolitan pizza, signature dips and classic Italian desserts.<\/p>\n

Friends of the charity Young Bristol are invited for an evening of pizza, celebration and community spirit.<\/p>\n Bookings are now open and as a thank you, each booking will receive a free sharing garlic bread pizza when they purchase a minimum of two pizzas and two drinks.<\/p>\n All proceeds from the evening, including money raised in the raffle taking place, will be donated to the chosen charity.<\/p>\n Commenting on the new opening, Neal Bates of Rudy\u2019s, said: \u201cAs one of the UK\u2019s most welcoming and food loving cities, Bristol is the perfect next stop for Rudy\u2019s and we can\u2019t wait to open our doors next Monday.<\/p>\n “Whether you\u2019ve visited a Rudy’s location before or are discovering us for the first time, we can\u2019t wait to fire up the oven and say a big ciao to Bristol!\u201d<\/p>\n Since launching in 2015 in Ancoats, Manchester, Rudy\u2019s quickly gained a cult following for its authentic Neapolitan dough and quality ingredients.<\/p>\n Rudy\u2019s dough is made fresh daily using Caputo \u201800\u2019 flour which ferments for at least 24 hours, alongside the best quality ingredients from Naples, including San Marzano tomatoes grown on fields next to Mount Vesuvius, and fior di latte mozzarella.<\/p>\n Join our WhatsApp group<\/a>Privacy Notice<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The opening marks Rudy\u2019s first venture into the South WestRudy\u2019s Pizza Napoletana has announced it is opening its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,799,748,9418,393,786,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-287896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-bristol-city-centre","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-eating-out-in-bristol","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-food-and-drink","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114908218260214384","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Rudy\u2019s](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1_TOM00538.jpg\")
