ah-loy-see-us is a legitimate pronunciation in Slavic languages, where the name is more likely to be spelled Alojzius or Alojzijus. Short form is Alojz.

I know this name was used in the Czech lands long time ago with this spelling - a writer named Aloysius or someone like that - and I'd pronounce it with the Z instead of the S, even when the S is written.
