Rudy’s has announced that it will begin delivering chilled pizzas direct to doors as part of a brand new servicefor customers.
The enormously popular pizzeria – which regularly finds itself ranking among the highest-rated restaurants in Europe – has confirmed that ‘Bake At Home’ Margarita con Buffala, Portobello, Calabrese and Carni pizzas will now be available to order across the country.
The pizzas will be priced at £6.50 – plus £8 packaging and delivery – and will arrive the next day by 5pm.
Dough is also being bulked-out to stretch the pizzas to a whopping 13 inches – all shipped in more sustainable packaging.
Over the past six weeks, Rudy’s has gradually opened all five of its branches (Ancoats, Peter Street and locations in Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham) for delivery and click and collect; including part-baked pizzas to reheat at home.

However, their next-day delivery service represents an exciting step in an entirely new direction – and offers customers a new way to get their hands on an authentic Neapolitan pizza.
The restaurant said in a statement: “The new ‘Bake at Home’ pizzas are hand-made by pizzaiolos using the same fresh ingredients we use in the pizzeria.

“The ‘Bake at Home’ range is available at all Rudy’s restaurants for walk up or click and collect alongside our fired, there and then, Neapolitan pizza.
“We would like to thank all our team members who have come off furlough, Manchester Paper box and Absolute Packaging of Cheadle, DPD Delivery Experts, Icertech of Chester, Toggle Platform Developers, Steve at Chilli Banana and G and O Foods for helping us continue to provide our authentic Neapolitan pizza to the people.”

Bakery chain Gail’s is attempting to win over Prestwich after spelling mishap
Daisy Jackson
Gail’s has announced a plan to try and make amends with Prestwich after spelling the village’s name wrong on the new bakery’s signs.
The massive bakery chain finally confirmed that it would be moving into the suburb on the fringes of Bury and Manchester, but made a fatal flaw at the first step.
The huge posters are missing the letter ‘T’, instead saying ‘Hello Preswich’.
More than a few eyebrows were raised locally, with people saying it’s ‘not a great first impression for the locals…’.
And now Gail’s is attempting to put things right by offering free tea to Prestwich residents.
In new material released today, they wrote: “Oops… people of Prestwich, we owe you a ‘T’.
“You may have seen how we missed out a ‘t’ in our new bakery signage.
“We’re sorry for the mistake, and to make up for it we’d like to brew you a tea when we open.”
The new advertising has a QR code which people can scan to claim their free cuppa.
Gail’s has also passed its thanks on to ‘local resident Clair’, who actually came up with the suggestion on The Manc’s LinkedIn post here.
With this development, Gail’s has now confirmed it’ll be opening in Prestwich – directly opposite the new Rudy’s – in early 2025, with free tea served then to those who scan the QR code.
Salon Madre – A new tequila bar and pool hall is opening in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
A new tequila bar and pool hall is set to open in Manchester in a couple of weeks, from the same team behind Madre.
The huge new space, Salon Madre, will be serving up the tacos and burritos that have made the Mexican restaurant at Kampus so well-loved.
And all that’s alongside a drinks menu that centres around tequila, including frozen, classic and flavoured margaritas and palomas.
Can’t stomach tequila? There’ll also be wines on draft, Corona and local beers.
The food menu will show off signature dishes like al pastor tacos, with daily rotating specials, plus Gringas, nachos and Madre’s huge burritos.
Salon Madre has taken over a spot just off Kampus’s lush garden that was previously home to a Seven Brothers taproom, right next door to Madre itself.

As well as all the Mexican food and drink goodness, the bar will have four pool tables and will be screening Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) and American sports.
The dream is to bring the fun and liveliness of a Mexican pool hall to the heart of Manchester, in this beautiful spot right near Piccadilly and Canal Street.
Salon Madre will open on 6 December at Kampus, with bookings for Christmas groups and parties now available.
