Well someone got up on the wrong side of the QongDaq today. Feeling a little pissy today are we? As for your comments I beg to differ. Depending on reigonal pronunciation "Pizza" is pronounced with either a "z" or an "s". Neither of which exists in Klingon. So your objection is just...well...silly.

And at least one answer to the original question "How do you say 'pizza' in
Klingon?" is simply {*pizza*}.
