pizze

English irregular plural forms are usually from the plural form of the singular form’s etymon, which is, in this case, Neapolitan pizza, the plural form of which would be pizze; however, it is much more likely to have been borrowed from Italian pizze (the plural form of pizza) instead, since Italian plural forms of other nouns are usually used together with pizze, also usually in Italian context.
