4-zuh

I don't agree with some people pronouncing it as fort-zah or fort-sa, the way most people add that 't" sound when saying pizza. The reason people pronounce pizza as Peet-suh is because of the long-e sounding 'i" in the word that precedes the double zz's, which in turn adds an 's' sound starting the second syllable. Kinda like the way you pronounce mozzarella as mot-sa-rel-la. (don't get me started on the WOP version... MOOT-SUH-DELL!)

Forza has one z which follows an "or" sound... so no adding the "t" or "s" sounds necessary. Thank you for attending linguistics 101... please come again!
