"ZZ" is pronounced as the /z/ sound, like in "zoo" or "zebra," which is a buzzing sound made with your voice on, tongue near the ridge behind your teeth; in English words, 'zz' often makes this sound (e.g., puzz**le, fizz), but in other languages, like Italian, 'zz' can have a different sound, like /ts/ (e.g., pizza).
The letter Z entered English via French, where it's called zède, from Latin zeta, which itself comes from Greek zēta. Early British English stuck close to that lineage, giving us zed; which neatly fits the pattern of other letter names like bed, fed, led, red. Very tidy. Very British.
When two letters come together to make one sound, they are called a digraph. Some words end with -ck. These letters make just one sound, like in duck. Some words end with the double letters -ss, -ll, -ff, or -zz.
