Popular pizzeria Rudy's is set to expand its footprint in Birmingham, confirming plans to open a fourth restaurant in the city. The new site will be located in Sutton Coldfield, marking the brand's first venture into this part of the metropolitan area.
A New Home on Birmingham Road
The latest Rudy's Pizza restaurant will occupy the former Built Unique Gym unit on Birmingham Road in Sutton Coldfield's town centre. This strategic move brings the brand's acclaimed Neapolitan offerings to a new audience, complementing its three existing city centre locations.
While a precise launch date is still to be finalised, the company has confirmed the restaurant is scheduled to open early in 2026. This expansion continues Rudy's successful growth story within the West Midlands.
Expanding the Neapolitan Legacy
The new Sutton Coldfield outlet will join Rudy's established Birmingham restaurants in Harborne, Bennetts Hill, and Brindleyplace. The chain has built a loyal following through its commitment to authentic Italian pizza-making techniques.
Rudy's is renowned for its traditional methods, which include:
- Using light, double-fermented dough made with premium Caputo '00' flour.
- Topping pizzas with high-quality Italian ingredients like Fior di Latte mozzarella.
- Cooking quickly in traditional wood-fired ovens to achieve the perfect char and texture.
What This Means for Birmingham's Food Scene
This expansion underscores the sustained demand for quality, artisanal food offerings in Birmingham's suburbs. The arrival of Rudy's in Sutton Coldfield is likely to be welcomed by local food enthusiasts and will further enrich the area's dining options.
The opening represents a significant investment in Sutton Coldfield's high street and is a positive sign for the local hospitality sector. Residents will soon have access to the same celebrated pizzas that have made Rudy's a standout name in the city centre's competitive culinary landscape.
