Etymology
The Greek word πίτσα is a direct borrowing from Italian pizza, which entered the language in the 20th century along with the food itself. The ultimate origin of the Italian word is disputed among linguists, so no single ancestor form is certain. Greek simply adapted the Italian spelling and pronunciation and gave it a standard feminine noun ending.
