Rudy’s launches two new Christmas Special pizzas - with unique ingredients pumpkin & pear

This festive season, Manchester favourite Rudy's Pizza Napoletana has launched two new winter special pizzas.

From Friday November 24, the popular pizza joint with sites in Manchester, London, Leeds, Liverpool and more will be serving two festive pizzas throughout Christmas.

Zucca is the Italian word for pumpkin - and as the name suggests - this vegetarian pizza features a pumpkin cream base topped with fior di latte, goats' cheese, roasted garlic chestnut mushrooms, toasted pumpkin seeds and chilli flakes.

The second is a white pizza topped with fior di latte, gorgonzola, cured pork cheek, fresh pears, toasted walnuts and fresh thyme.

These two dishes will be served in all Rudy's pizzerias, and we headed down to its Portland Street site to taste test both.
