In a song, the word is a workaday word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows nothing matches this word strictly, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why pizza rhymes the way it does
In our engine, pizza registers as a two-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 226, assonance 5,800, and consonance 389. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Pizza is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
