You say "pizza" in England the same way as in America, as /ˈpiːtsə/ (PEET-suh), but with a slight emphasis on the 't' sound and a very subtle, almost swallowed 'r' sound often added at the end in some accents (making it sound like "PEET-ser"), though the standard is clear, unvoiced 'ts'. The key is the "ts" sound (like in "cats") not a "z" sound, and stressing the first syllable.
In British English, "literally" has two common pronunciations: the more formal, dictionary version with four syllables (LIT-er-al-ly) and the more common, quicker, three-syllable version that sounds like LIT-rally, where the middle "er" becomes a merged "r" sound or a schwa. You'll often hear it pronounced as "lit-rally" (three syllables, stressing the first) in everyday speech, while the four-syllable version is also correct but less frequent.
British English: pizza /ˈpiːtsə/ NOUN. A pizza is a flat piece of dough covered with tomatoes, cheese, and other savoury food, which is baked in an oven. ... the last piece of pizza. American English: pizza /ˈpitsə/
How to pronounce Pizza Correctly in British Accent To pronounce pizza correctly in a British accent, start by saying "peet-sah." The "z" sound is soft, like a "ts" sound. Then, emphasize the first syllable, "PEET." Finally, add a slight "r" sound at the end, but not too strong.
The word pizza was borrowed from Italian into English in the 1930s; before it became well known, pizza was called "tomato pie" by English speakers. Some regional pizza variations still use the name tomato pie.
Pizza in Welsh is Pitsa.
Common slang for pizza includes 'za, a short form of pizza, and pie, used especially for a whole pizza (often an East Coast term), with other terms describing its parts or characteristics like cheese pull, tip sag, or regional names like tomato pie.
The origin of the word pizza
Some think the Greek pitta (pita, with a root sense of “bran bread”) is the source. Others look to the Langobardic (an ancient German language in northern Italy) bizzo, meaning “bite.” Whatever the origin, we say, “delicious.”
American English “invisible letters” include the t in pizza, the r in colonel, and the extra b in cummerbund.
Meanwhile, a more recent term, seemingly American in origin, is ta-tas, or tatas, meaning breasts. It's been especially prominent since 2004, when an anti-breast-cancer foundation was founded with the name “Save the Ta-tas,” prompting many t-shirts such as the admitted click-bait at the top of this post.

"Oy oy oy" in Australia is most famously part of the patriotic chant "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!" used at sporting events to show national pride, but "Oi" also functions as a general Australian informal interjection, like "hey" or "excuse me," to get someone's attention. The chant itself comes from the British "Oggy Oggy Oggy" cheer for Cornish pasties and became popular in Australia after the 2000 Olympics.
