Alley Cats opens on King's Road

The Sloane Stanley Estate has announced that Alley Cats, the New York-style pizzeria, has opened its brand new location on King’s Road, marking the brand’s second site to date.

Alley Cats has launched its 1,277 sq ft space at 342 King’s Road, with the restaurant designed to mirror an authentic New York dining experience with a mix of central tables with gingham tablecloths, as well as upcycled church pew-style seating. Headed by chef Francesco Macri, the menu offers a vast range of options such as Meatballs, Candied Bacon, and a Mortadella Folder, as well as 14-inch pizzas including Marinara, Vodka Sauce, Tuna Bonito, Cacio & Pepe, and Wild Mushroom.

Hannah Grievson, Property Director at Sloane Stanley, said: “King’s Road is rich in distinctive concepts, and Alley Cats is the perfect addition to its line-up. It brings an inspiring menu that captures the true essence of a genuine New York dining experience, both in taste and atmosphere, and it’s an offer that resonates with our community, suiting locals, residents, and visitors. Our roster of restaurants is continuing to grow, and we’re pleased to see a thriving independent open its doors on our estate and make its mark on the Chelsea neighbourhood.”  

The arrival of Alley Cats follows the recent opening of Dez Amore on Sloane Stanley’s Fulham Road, with this site marking the operator’s first standalone restaurant space. It specialises in traditional Italian dishes with a unique and contemporary twist, paying homage to its founders’ heritage, and sits alongside operators such as Josephine by Claude Bosi, and Kiss The Hippo.
