I usually say "PEET-za", or "PEET-zuh"... In college, they were calling
it just "za". I've definitely heard variatoins like "PEET-sa", with more
of an 's' sound (as in 'glass'). Friends goofing around have called it
"pee-za" (like "Pisa")...
I would never use it, but I think the closest Klingon approximation I
would use would be */pI'Sa'/ (for example, if I was trying to show a
Klingon a phonetic spelling of the English).
