Pizzerias are a dime a dozen these days. But what makes Alvy’s stand out from the crowd is the cosy ambience, friendly staff, and the delicious pies that come out of the red-brick oven in the kitchen.

The base for all pizzas here is a sourdough crust, with a tender crumb and a hint of tanginess. Toppings take on an East-meets-West approach. Bak Gwei, for instance, is an eclectic combination of savoury gruyere cheese, char siu, mozzarella, and geung yeong (minced ginger). The chopped char siu is coated in a light honey glaze that complements the gruyere, while the minced ginger gives the pizza a piquant kick. Also good is the a la Vodka, where a four-cheese combination of bocconcini, mozzarella, and pecorino is doused with a shot of vodka sauce for a pizza of extra strength. Order a side of Yu Kwen Yick Fried Chicken Wings with a blue cheese dip to go with all that dough.

Chase down your pies with a pint of Cha Chaan Teng Gose — this sour beer is a refreshing drink to have with the indulgent pizzas, as are the other locally-brewed beers on the menu. (Jun 2019)
