Where To Eat With A Third-Tier Friend - London - The Infatuation

"At Alley Cats Pizza, an NYC-style pizza spot in Marylebone, there’s a projector playing The Sopranos on an exposed brick wall. And that’s all the conversation starter you need to get through a 1.5-hour dinner with someone you don’t have all that much in common with. Diners fill the buzzy, industrial-looking room, dipping crispy margherita crusts into the fiery scotch bonnet dipping sauce, and getting messy with a sweet onion jam-heavy mushroom slice. The pizzas are thin, covered in a rich tomato sauce, and are big enough to share. And if the conversation dies down, just pick up where you left off with the projector wall." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
