the latter but in the spirit of the British tradition of miss pronounciation I always say the former.

Cal-zone-ee

"miss pronounciation"

But in the spirit of British mis-spelling, also I see!

10:07 she was the winner of a recent beauty contest.

If they want it pronounced cal zon ee in English then they ought to spell it properly in English to match.  They should either spell it calzonee, or at a pinch they could get away with calzoni.  Otherwise it will correctly be pronouned in English as they choose to label it, i.e. cal zone.

I've never heard it pronounced cal-zone-ee!!

'pizza' in an envelope......

@11.07...since "they" are Italian, I don't suppose they care how daft Brits pronounce their language...they are obviously used to it.

OG, do you pronounce, "pizza" as, "pizzuh" rather than, "peetsuh?

Yes. Doesn't everyone ?

 

Of course that ain't right either, it ought to be pizz a, but I wasn't taught perfectly as a kid.

What about pierogi?

Hard g or soft g?

Question Author

soft

Hard g lol

Calzone to rhyme with phone

A pizza to eat as peetsa 

The leaning tower as peeza

Whats pierogi (I'd say soft)?

Question Author

kind of like pasties

It’s cal-zone-ee (rhymes with macaroni). That’s the proper Italian pronunciation! But in some places, people say cal-zone (rhymes with phone), so you might hear both.

The Italian pronunciation I've heard is more like, "caltzonuh" for one and "caltzonee" for the plural.
