A few years ago, Neapolitan pizzas were all the rage. Now, that craze has burned out and a new cheesy-tomato hero has risen from its ashes \u2013 the New York pie is here to save us from the sourdough.<\/p>\n
There are loads of great NY inspired restaurants popping up across the capital, including some which are so good one store just isn\u2019t enough. Alley Cats \u2013 a spot so aggressively Italian-American that they often project episodes of the Sopranos directly onto the walls \u2013 opened in Marylebone<\/a> back in 2023, before a second location<\/a> came forth last year. Now, a third Alley Cats has been announced.<\/p>\n The selected spot is on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, in place of previous Italian occupants Verderame. It\u2019s expected that the menu, developed by head chef Francesco Macri, will remain pretty similar to its predecessors. Expect huge 14 inch pizza bases with creative toppings like pepperoni with jalape\u00f1os and honey, and wild mushrooms with red onion jam and fried sage. If that\u2019s not your thing, there\u2019s always the classic margherita. Macri has worked across restaurants in London and Rome, so he definitely knows what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n Time Out London editor Joe Mackertich particularly rated\u00a0Alley Cats\u2019 creamy vodka sauce pizza when he\u00a0headed to\u00a0the Marylebone branch<\/a>, describing it as \u2018every bit as moreish and comforting as the dish that inspired it\u2019.<\/p>\n As if that wasn\u2019t enough, you can also enjoy a range of starters, including the signature garlic and cheese bites, and a tiramisu to top it all off. We\u2019re getting hungry just thinking about it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not known exactly when the doors will open on the brand new pizzeria.
