Free pizza for Nottingham’s food-lovers as popular chain set to open new restaurant in the city
A new Nottingham restaurant is celebrating its upcoming opening by giving away 3,000 free pizzas to the city’s food-lovers.
Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana, known as Rudy’s, is set to open in the former Midland Bank at 6 Victoria Street later this “autumn”.
Pizza lovers can sign up for a free meal using the ‘Pizza On Us’ offer via Rudy’s website, with head Pizzaioli, Lorenzo Floris, urging customers to try a classic Margherita, triple pepperoni or porchetta white pizza when the restaurant opens its doors.
The new restaurant will seat 120 customers, plus a further 16 guests in a “private pizza room” inside the former bank’s vaults.
Established in Manchester in 2015, Rudy’s has since opened 19 branches across the country, including Liverpool, Birmingham, and Leeds, and is known for its minimalist decor and award-winning, authentic pizzas.
The popular chain revealed an opening announcement of “autumn” last month, but could not provide a more precise date when contacted by Nottingham World.
The three-storey bank was built in 1896 and features a Grade II listed ashlar pink granite façade, which will be protected, six doric columns and mahogany panelling within the Lace Market conservation area.
Previously an outlet of French Connection until 2019, Rudy’s new home will create 40 jobs and become the latest pizza restaurant to open in Nottingham, which has seen a flurry of competition including Detroit, Pizza Punks, Pizzamisú, Happy Dough Lucky and Pizza Pilgrims.
Arc Inspirations withdrew a plan to convert the site into cocktail bar chain Manahatta in 2022 and instead will open its BOX sports bar brand on Thurland Street in November.
