As you know pizza is popular around the world, and you have probably eaten it several times this year.  But have you ordered pizza in a native-English speaking country before?

If you immigrate or study abroad, you probably will have to order it at some point, if not for yourself then for your friends or kids.

Looks can be deceiving.  The word looks simple enough right?  PIZZA.  So you may think logically that you pronounce it as it is written, but that is not the case.  In fact we North Americans pronounce this word like PETE-SA, with emphasis (stress) on the first syllable.

So even though the writing of the word suggests PEE-ZA, trust me, it is not pronounced that way.  You must say PETE-SA when ordering it in English.  Just a fresh tip.  🙂

Enjoy!
