How to Sign “Pizza” in Sign Language

The ASL sign for "pizza" is a slice of fun, just like the real thing. And speaking of slices, have you heard of Pi00a? It’s a Deaf-owned pizzeria that’s as much about community as it is about their mouthwatering pies. Knowing this sign means you’re ready to order up and (hopefully) support a fantastic Deaf-run business!
