ピッツァ

ぴっつぁ
noun
pizza (Italian-style)
food
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.
I ordered one pizza.
この(みせ)(まき)(がま)ピッツァ()いている
This restaurant bakes its pizzas in a wood-fired oven.
The pizza baked by a craftsman who trained in Naples has a plump, puffy crust edge.

Counted with 〜(まい). 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.
