Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of the Italian dish, 'pizza pie'.
- The sign on the bridge that says, "Ducka You Head, Lowla Bridgeada", is a pun on Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida.
- Sylvester speaks with a stereotypical Italian accent in this short.
- While Tweety didn't say his catchphrase in this short, the imaginary birds say it instead.
Errors
- During the opening credits of this short, background artist Tom O'Loughin has his last name spelled wrong. It was spelled O'Laughlin instead of O'Loughlin.
Legacy
- Portions of this short, such as Sylvester eating a plate of spaghetti, were reused two years later in the Merrie Melodies short Trip for Tat.
- The scene when Sylvester tries using a fishing rod to hook Tweety's cage is shown in the beginning of The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
