Atmosphere and Ambiance
Pros:
"Great venue - massive seating area but well and efficiently staffed even for a Saturday afternoon."
"It's a big restaurant with a good atmosphere, lots of tables, and good music."
"From the moment I crossed the threshold, I felt welcomed by the lively and inviting atmosphere."
"The staff are really friendly and it has a great atmosphere."
"Place is beautifully decorated and the staff are very friendly."
"Great pizza place! The draft beer was fantastic and atmosphere was lovely."
"Friendly staff and clean modern bathroom. Didn’t feel rushed to eat n dash at all, could enjoy the evening :)"
"This place can get busy so it is best to call in advanced for a reservation."
Cons:
"The only negative is the one occasion that felt like we were being rushed through the service."
"This branch is a pale imitation and in a word, disappointing."
"Just one thing to bear in mind, it can be very busy and loud, might be even difficult to talk to each others at the table."
"If you want to enjoy your evening, eat your pizza slowly, otherwise as soon as you finish they will start nagging if you want anything else until you give up and ask for the bill."
"We ordered two pizzas and one cappuccino and we got charged 61£."
"The place was very noisy which made conversation frustrating."
"The restaurant was not busy, and it took 5 min for someone to welcome us in."
"Our food was pretty quick once seated, but waiting for the bill, which we asked for when our plates were taken, we sat there for over half an hour."
Service
Pros:
"Very slick and friendly service and simply delicious pizzas."
"The staff was very kind from entering to leaving the restaurant!"
"The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home."
"The staffs are super friendly and it is great to take kids as well."
"Once we were seated, the attention we received was five stars."
"The food was served very quickly. Would definitely go and can and would recommend to family and friends for sure! 5 stars all round for us 😁"
"The staff here were amazing. We had been caught up in the UK flight cancellations which meant we needed to stay an extra night in London. Rudy's staff went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing experience."
"Great affordable restaurant with a good atmosphere and lovely service."
Cons:
"The service charge was not really optional."
"The waiter did ask us how we found the experience and didn't bother much when we explained everything."
"Service was completely disorganized. There were only 4 tables occupied and 4 nice waitresses."
"The table we sat was very dirty, our hands were sticking because of the grease."
"Service and food were great but what really impressed me was the service."
"Service was very slow. We waited like 40 minutes for our pizzas."
"Didn't wait too long to be seated, but had a drink by the counter whilst waiting for a table to become available. Highly recommend Sospiri cocktail too."
"Waited for the bill for over 15 minutes. When the guy finally came over we were really fed up, he didn't seem to care at all that we'd been waiting."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Simply delicious pizzas. Well cooked, slightly chewy base and good amounts of quality toppings."
"The pizzas were one of the best we've had in London."
"Their dough is perfect according to Neapolitan tradition—thin, light, and absolutely delicious."
"I ordered the Margherita and it was one of the best pizzas I had ever eaten, and for a very reasonable price."
"The pizza was delicious. This place gets a serious number of guests, so plan accordingly."
"Great thin base pizzas, but slightly soggy on the bottom, toppings were great and generous pour of vino."
"One of the best pizza places in London - exactly like how you get them in Naples."
"OMG...Literally the BEST pizza I have ever had!!!"
Cons:
"Rudy's I'm sorry but you broke my heart this evening... After visiting the Birmingham branch and being blown away by your vegan pizzas we couldn't be more excited to come to you in London."
"The pizza was delicious. We waited in the line for about 35 minutes. Reservation is not required, however, as busy as it seemed, having a reservation does seem to be the best route."
"We enjoyed the pizzas we ordered. They were delicious and made us feel better about the wait. We had been told it would take about 20 minutes to be seated, and we ended up waiting an hour."
"Pizza was good, though perhaps a little tight on topping and a few burnt spots underneath."
"I ordered the Angello Vegano, which is meant to have a tomato base; plant-based spicy lamb; tenderstem broccoli; olives and a basil cheese sauce. As you can see from the photo, there looks to be no cheese sauce."
"4/5 on all sides: the pizzas are good but surely not the best in London. Ours were a bit dry, lacked enough tomato sauce and the flavours were just a bit off."
"Very difficult to remember all the pizzas I've eaten over the years. But I have to say, from the food to the service, this was just amazing. The best EVER!"
"Stumbled upon Rudy's when we were looking for a restaurant to have a late lunch. Despite it being almost 3pm it was still super busy. When entering it smelled amazing and the staff was friendly."
