Opened at the end of last year, Alley Cats is part of the new wave of NYC-style pizza joints to hit the capital
Though you can find many styles of pizza, from Detroit deep pan to Argentine, here in London, Neapolitan pies have been dominating the city’s scene over the past few years. However, the slow fermented fluffy crusts have found a challenger in the thin and crispy NYC-style pizzas, thanks to the popularity of kitchens like Dough Hands, Crisp Pizza and now Marylebone’s Alley Cats Pizza.
Alley Cats is bringing a bit of the Big Apple to London with exposed brick, red and white gingham tablecloths and Italian-American inspired thin crust pizzas. Sicilian Head Chef Francesco Macri makes use of quality Southern Italian ingredients, including San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella from Campania and aged mozzarella from Molise, for his 14-inch pizzas, which come with toppings such as:
- smoked pepperoni, aged mozzarella, tomato sauce, habanero and honey
- fennel sausage, tomato sauce, aged mozzarella, pancetta, red onion and pecorino flakes
- creamy vodka tomato sauce, aged mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella
- wild mushrooms, aged mozzarella, taleggio, red onion jam and fried sage
- tomato sauce, roasted bell pepper, crispy potato, pesto and vegan ‘nduja
If you’ve got an American-sized appetite, you can bookend your pizzas with cheese & garlic bread knots, meatballs in slow-cooked tomato sauce, loaded vanilla soft serve, and tiramisu topped with hazelnuts, salted peanuts and pistachios.
