Our grandma Kate who was from the village of Velo Grablje, was passing a street in the old part of Hvar over hundred years ago when she heard from a nearby inn someone calling the name Alviž (Venetian version of the name Aloysius), she then decided, as she was expecting a baby that if it was to be a boy – Alviz would be his name. That is how our grandfather was named – Alviž; many years later he bought a house that is now well known as ‘Bistro Alviž’! In 1989 his grandson, Vjekoslav Alviž, initially opened as a creperie, that at the time was a real hit with the younger generations. As the creperie became more popular the menu began to grow, primarily with pizzas! Vjeko learned the art of making good pizzas whilst working as a student during the summer months for the now old ‘Pizzeria Miko’, one of the first pizza places in the whole of Dalmatia, it had a secret of making good pizzas that Vjeko then learned ; and even today our pizzas are considered by many to be the best in town!
