1.
pizza; Italian-style pizza
Pizza, transcribed closer to the Italian pronunciation than the usual ピザ. Chosen by authentic Italian restaurants and wood-fired-oven shops to signal that the pizza is Neapolitan rather than American-style.
Counted with 〜枚. A register variant rather than a different food: in ordinary conversation people say ピザ, and ピッツァ appears mainly on Italian restaurant menus and in food writing.
