覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
pizza は日本語の「ピザ」とほぼ同じだが、英語では a pizza なら一枚全体、a slice of pizza なら一切れを表す。注文場面の order a pizza、食事の have pizza for lunch、具を示す pizza with mushrooms をまとまりで覚えると実用的。イタリア語から英語にそのまま入った料理名で、通常の複数形は pizzas。
The word pizza came directly from Italian and refers to essentially the same food as Japanese ピザ. Build a practical memory around how English counts it: order a pizza when you mean one whole pizza, ask for two pizzas for two whole ones, and eat a slice of pizza when you mean one piece. Common phrases include have pizza for lunch, make pizza, and pizza with mushrooms. Picture the round baked base, cheese, and toppings, but connect the picture with these useful combinations so that you remember both the food and its natural grammar.

pizza の語源・成り立ち Etymology
イタリア語 pizza から。語源は諸説あり、ラテン語 pinsa（押しつぶす）やギリシャ語 pitta（平たいパン）に遡るとされる。関連語: pitta, pita。平たく伸ばした生地が原義で、ナポリで現在の形に発展した。
English borrowed pizza from Italian, where the word has long denoted a type of flat baked bread or pie. Its deeper origin is disputed, and proposals have connected it with words for flatbread or with forms associated with pressing and baking, but no single explanation is universally accepted. The modern dish developed especially in Naples, and its Italian name spread internationally with the food.
