Rudy’s Sets Worcester Opening, Pizzarova Plans Bath

Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana plans to open a two-floor restaurant on Worcester’s Broad Street on November 22, with seating for about 115 indoors and 12 outdoors and 20 new jobs. A preview charity night on November 21 will raise proceeds for St Richard’s Hospice; the site will be Rudy’s sixth in the West Midlands and part of a UK chain with more than 41 locations. Bristol-based Pizzarova plans to open its first restaurant outside the city in Bath in early 2027, its fifth permanent location. Founded in 2013, the independent business is known for handmade sourdough pizzas and regional ingredients, and will continue its expansion from four Bristol restaurants while retaining its original mobile pizza operation for events.
