THE former Barclays Bank building on Walton Road, Stockton Heath is set to be transformed into a relaxed neighbourhood pizzeria this Spring.
Rudy’s Stockton Heath will be creating perfect, light and classic Neapolitan pizza, with the original Rudy’s situated in Ancoats, Manchester, since 2015 has also opened sites in Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham.
Born out of passion for pizza, Rudy’s follows the authentic Neapolitan tradition of pizza making, serving classic recipes such as Marinara, Margherita and Calabrese – all originating from Naples, the birthplace of pizza.
Believing Neapolitan pizza to be the best in the world, Rudy’s dough is made fresh daily using Caputo ‘00’ flour which ferments for at least 24 hours, alongside the best quality ingredients imported twice a week from Naples, including San Marzano tomatoes grown on fields next to Mount Vesuvius, and Fior di Latte mozzarella.
For Rudy’s, it’s all about the pizza and following truly authentic Neapolitan technique. The dough is made fresh on-site every day and cooked in wood-fired ovens for just 60 seconds, all in accordance with Neapolitan pizza tradition, leaving it soft and floppy with a leopard patterned cornichon (crust).
Beth Sinclair, General Manager of Rudy’s Stockton Heath said: “I’m really excited about living in Stockton Heath and getting to know the area more. It won’t be long before we are able to fire up the oven and serve delicious Neapolitan pizza. As a team we can’t wait to meet the locals and neighbours and become part of town life.”
The original Rudy’s pizzeria opened in Ancoats, Manchester in 2015, with Rudy’s Stockton Heath the seventh member of the Rudy’s famiglia.
