Etymology
Romanian borrowed the word directly from Italian "pizza" in the twentieth century, as the dish spread across Europe. Once in Romanian, the word was fitted to the native pattern for feminine nouns ending in -ă, such as "casă" or "masă", which is why the base form is written "pizză" and inflects the same way. The ultimate origin of the Italian word itself is disputed among etymologists, with competing theories pointing to Greek or Langobardic sources.
