22 Paddington St, London W1U 5QY

Alley Cats Pizza has been something of a phenomenon. The pizzeria is based on NYC-style pizzerias with huge pizzas on offer and built up an avid following overnight. There are no bookings so queues are likely at peak times and when you get a table expect the classic crisp-based pizzas to fill the whole table. They do offer click & collect if you're queue-phobic.

77-78 Marylebone High St, London W1U 5JX

This Marylebone restaurant from the Big Mamma Group (Circolo Popolare, Gloria) is described as more "intimate" than the others but it still has the mad, flamboyant design that they're known for (and some crazy toilets). Food is their take on Neapolitan and Sicilian classics with an Americano twist - and some pretty large portions along the way.

They may have since hit the big time with Gymkhana, but this is where the Sethi siblings (behind JKS and some of London's best restaurants) first started. In the heart of Marylebone Village, it specialises in a contemporary take on coastal Indian cuisine and has boasted a Michelin star for well over a decade.

They expanded from a pop-up, roaming outlet to become one of the biggest burger restaurants in London. Their first restaurant was in W1 and has now been replaced with this even bigger venue. There are burgers, hot dogs, lethal cocktails and - most useful - a very late licence.
