Free pizza for 3,000 people” — Rudy’s reveals opening date for new Harrogate restaurant
A hugely popular pizza brand is about to land in Harrogate — and it’s giving away thousands of free pizzas to celebrate.
Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana has confirmed it will open its new restaurant on Saturday, April 11, taking over the former Banyan Bar and Restaurant on John Street.
The launch is already generating major buzz, thanks in part to its “Pizza on Us” event, which will see 3,000 free pizzas handed out to early visitors.
Inside, the new venue will seat around 120 diners, with space for another 35 outside — bringing a taste of authentic Neapolitan pizza to the heart of Harrogate.
Neal Bates of Rudy’s said the response so far has exceeded expectations.
“We’re really excited for our Harrogate launch and have been delighted by the reaction,” he said.
“Whether you’re one of the lucky 3,000 joining us for free pizza, attending our charity evening with the Harrogate Homeless Project, or just coming along to try us for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you.”
As part of opening celebrations, the restaurant will also host a special charity night, with all profits going to the Harrogate Homeless Project.
Founded in Manchester in 2015, Rudy’s has grown rapidly into one of the UK’s best-known pizza brands, with 36 locations nationwide — and Harrogate is next.
