My father would pronounce the word 'pizza' as pitza. I always thought that a bit funny, knowing that the correct way was peetsah.
Now I find that the French pronounce it - same spelling as us - this way: pidza.
I guess if they won't ask me how we got the T sound from a word with no Ts in it, I won't ask them where they get the D from.

Germans pronounce it pitza even though it is spelled like pizza too. Darn fureners (foreigners).
Now that's interesting -- because my father's family was German!
