Alley Cats: hyped New York-style pizza restaurant is opening a third site in London
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 – the New York pie is here to save us from the sourdough. There are loads of great NY inspired restaurants popping up across the capital, including some which are so good one store just isn't enough. Alley Cats – a spot so aggressively Italian-American that they often project episodes of the Sopranos directly onto the walls – opened in Marylebone back in 2023, before a second location came forth last year. Now, a third Alley Cats has been announced. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @alleycatspizzalondon The selected spot is on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, in place of previous Italian occupants Verderame. It's 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 jalapeños and honey, and wild mushrooms with red onion jam and fried sage. If that's not your thing, there's always the classic margherita. Macri has worked across restaurants in London and Rome, so he definitely knows what he's doing. Time Out London editor Joe Mackertich particularly rated Alley Cats' creamy vodka sauce pizza when he headed to the Marylebone branch, describing it as 'every bit as moreish and comforting as the dish that inspired it'. As if that wasn't 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're getting hungry just thinking about it. It's not known exactly when the doors will open on the brand new pizzeria. Based on the caption on the Instagram announcement, which says the restaurant is coming 'VERY soon', it may be arriving very quickly indeed. The best pizza in London, according to Time Out.

Tom Holland has his lips sealed about 'speculation' that he could be the next James Bond
His name has been bandied about along with other high-profile stars as a potential new star of the James Bond franchise. But Tom Holland didn't give any hints about the speculation when he was asked about it in a video posted Thursday. Rumors have ramped up that Holland could be in the running to take over for Daniel Craig as the iconic British secret agent in the wake of Dune director Denis Villeneuve signing on to helm the next film in the long-running series. A screenwriter for the highly anticipated film was also announced on Friday. While joining chef Gordon Ramsay on his YouTube channel to make fried chicken sandwiches and promote his non-alcoholic beer brand, Holland acknowledged the 'speculation' swirling around him. 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now,' he said with a sheepish grin. 'We'll get there one day.' 'Every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry,' Holland continued. 'I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.' The next Bond film is coming into focus after the announcement on Friday that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be joining Villeneuve behind the camera to write the next James Bond film. While speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Knight said: 'It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it — I can't wait to get started.' The movie will be overseen by Amazon MGM Studios, after producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control of the Bond franchise. Amy Pascal and David Heyman have also been announced as producers, via Pascal Pictures and Heyday Films, respectively, while Tanya Lapointe is an executive producer on the project. Even though the creative team is falling into place for the next Bond film, there haven't been any indications of who will replace Craig — or which actors are being considered. Craig's final Bond film was 2021's dark No Time To Die, which was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. The producers are reportedly looking for a considerably younger actor to take over the role after Craig — who is 57 — presented a more weathered, mortality-focused version of the beloved character. Holland is currently filming his fourth solo Spider-Man film, subtitled Brand New Day, which will reunite him with his costar and girlfriend Zendaya. Production began on Friday in Glasgow, Scotland, with portions of the city dressed up as New York City. According to The Sun, Liverpool had originally been intended to stand in as the Big Apple, but the location had to be changed in the wake of a shocking parade crash, which left 109 people injured. Tom had been spotted in Scotland earlier in July when he filmed scenes for Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, and he and Zendaya are reportedly back in country to begin shooting the Spider-Man sequel.
