Alley Cats pizzeria takes a slice of Chelsea’s King’s Road for second location

New York-style pizzeria Alley Cats is set to open its second location at Chelsea’s King’s Road, part of the Sloane Stanley Estate.

Set to open in August, the 1,277 sq ft pizzeria will look to build on the operator’s success at its first location in Marylebone, which opened in December 2023.

Led by head chef Francesco Macri, the restaurant will offer a range of 14-inch pizzas, featuring ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, and aged mozzarella from Molise.

Also on offer will be a range of cocktails, wines, beers, as well as a selection of desserts.

Alley Cats will join a number of food and beverage operators across the Sloane Stanley Estate, such as the recently opened Josephine by Claude Bosi and the upcoming debut site for pasta concept Dez Amore, both on Fulham Road. The operator will also be joined on King’s Road by the upcoming arrival of Fantomas, headed up by chef Chris Denney.

Hannah Grievson, property director at Sloane Stanley, said: “Alley Cats will be a fantastic addition to the Sloane Stanley Estate, and highlights our commitment to bringing more F&B choices to the area. We consistently champion the very best of independent brands, both restaurants and retailers, as a destination that nurtures brand growth. We look forward to welcoming Alley Cats as an exciting new member to the heart of Chelsea.”
