Pizza Specials Competition

Welcome to Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana, we make true Neapolitan pizza.

Ciao. Rudy’s Pizza Specials Competition is back…

…And this year we have a twist;

If you love pizza, are handy with a pizza peel and bowl of dough, and can create delicious flavours leaping out from a Neapolitan pizza, you’re in luck.

We’ve teamed up with Ooni to give you the chance to create a pizza to feature on our specials menu, plus an Ooni Karu 2, peel and cookbook. Not only that, you’ll enjoy a half day session with our Academy training manager, Dario to sharpen your Neapolitan pizza skills, plus a Rudy’s La Famiglia card rewarding you with two pizzas on us each week, for a whole year!

We’ll pick two incredible entries to join us at our Pizza Academy in Manchester on Wednesday 2nd April to battle it out.

So, if you’re a pizza-making legend in your own back garden and want to enter, let’s go. View our full brief here and fill out the form underneath our tips + tricks by Sunday 9th March. T+C’s apply. Good Luck!
