Pizza restaurant group Rudy’s will open its sixth London venue this month, with plans to have 10 in the capital by the end of the year.
The group will open its first west London restaurant in Queensway on 27 April, joining its London restaurants in Soho, Shoreditch, Fitzrovia and Spitalfields.
It also operates a site at competitive socialising venue Fairgame in Canary Wharf.
Located in a former bank close to Hyde Park, Rudy’s Queensway will be set over two floors with a basement complete with original exposed brickwork arches, showcasing the history and architectural beauty of the area.
Rudy’s launched in Ancoats, Manchester, in 2015 and made its London debut in Soho in 2021.
Speaking at last month’s R200 event in Manchester, Rudy’s managing director Neal Bates said the company intends to open at least four more restaurants in London by the end of the year, with a standalone restaurant in Canary Wharf potentially on the cards, as well as a pizzeria in Clapham.
The brand is also gearing up for new openings in Durham, Newcastle, and its suburb Jesmond with plans to also break into Scotland in the future.
Rudy’s owner Mission Mars will also boost its presence in the capital this year with the launch of its Albert’s Schloss brand in London on the site of the former Rainforest Café on Shaftesbury Avenue.
