The word "pizza" does NOT have the "z" sound in it. This word is pronounced "pee|tsa." It's the "ts" sound, not the "z" sound.

"TS" like caTS, haTS, maTS, etc.

If you pronounce "pizza" with the "z" sound, it sounds like the city in Italy: PISA.

Say this sentence to practice and be careful of the different sounds: I ate pizza (ts) in Pisa (z).

Say this tongue twister for more practice: Cats in hats were eating pizza in Pisa.
