Sam Longthorn and Jordan Franz - two chefs from Bradford - were the ones behind the eatery and promised an authentic Italian experience.

Both share more than 50 years’ experience in the industry between them and worked at La Roux in the early part of their careers.

Some of the food served up in Nduja (Image: Intelligent) Nduja’s menu consists of classics, like pizza and pasta, as well as braised beef and other specials.

It also opens for breakfast and brunches, between 10am and 4pm, before the evening opening times of 5pm until 9pm.
