Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana Clapham Common is a relaxed pizzeria at 15 The Pavement, a short walk from the common itself. The restaurant follows traditional Neapolitan methods while maintaining an informal neighbourhood atmosphere suited to lunch, dinner, families and groups of friends.
Dough is made fresh each day and fermented for up to twenty four hours to create a light, airy base. It is stretched by hand, topped with carefully sourced ingredients and cooked quickly at intense heat, producing the soft centre and spotted, raised crust associated with pizza from Naples.
The Marinara combines San Marzano tomato, garlic, oregano, basil and olive oil, while richer pizzas add fior di latte, Grana Padano, cured meat and seasonal vegetables. Vegan and vegetarian recipes receive the same dough and oven treatment, giving mixed groups a broad choice without changing the essential style.
Italian wine, beer, spritzes and soft drinks accompany the pizza, with desserts providing a simple finish. Bookings, group packages, collection and delivery make the Clapham Common branch flexible for spontaneous meals, celebrations and evenings when guests prefer to enjoy the pizza at home.
