Rudy’s to create 35 jobs with new West Bridgford restaurant

Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana is set to open a West Bridgford restaurant this summer, bringing 35 jobs to the local area.

The new pizzeria will be opening in the former Black Pearl Pub building on Bridgford Road, which has stood vacant since January 2023. The venue will offer 105 covers inside, plus a 70-seat outdoor seating area.

The move will create 35 jobs and follows the opening of a venue in Nottingham city centre which opened its doors in November 2023.

Rudy’s launched in 2015 in Ancoats, Manchester.

Neal Bates of Rudy’s, said: “We’re absolutely buzzing to bring Rudy’s authentic Neapolitan pizza to more people in Nottinghamshire as we open in West Bridgford. Our mission is simple: to share the rich flavours of Naples with the locals and create a warm, welcoming spot to enjoy them in. Whether it’s grabbing a quick bite with friends or celebrating a special occasion, we’re dedicated to bringing people together over great food, good vibes, and a true taste of Italy to the community.”
