Club career



Early career


Born in San Luis Potosí, Pizzuto was first spotted at the age of 12 in 2013 by scout Jess Ibrom of the New Zealand-based Asia-Pacific Football Academy which worked in association with Chelsea FC (now merged with professional side Wellington Phoenix) during open trials in the city of Monclova, Mexico. Following his performances, Pizzuto was offered a place in the academy along with a scholarship to Scots College in Wellington.[1][2]


Pachuca


Following his time at Wellington Phoenix - where he was unable to play senior football due to FIFA laws preventing the international transfer of minors - Pizzuto returned to Mexico and joined the youth ranks of Pachuca in 2018.[3]

On 21 January 2020, Pizzuto made his professional debut during a Copa MX group stage match against Ascenso MX club Venados. Four days later, Pizzuto made his Liga MX debut, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Franco Jara in an eventual 3–0 loss against León. However, just nine minutes after coming on, Pizzuto broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle after getting his foot caught on the pitch.[4]


Lille


On 1 August 2020, Pizzuto joined French side Lille on a free transfer.[5] He debuted for the club's reserve team, Lille II, on 10 October, coming on as a substitute on the 58th minute against US Maubeuge, winning 3–1.[6] He appeared on the bench for the first team for first time as an unused substitute on 22 November in a league match against Lorient, winning 4–0.[7]

On 17 January 2022, Pizzuto's contract was terminated by Lille making him a free agent.[8]


Braga


On 26 January 2022, Pizzuto joined Braga.[9]


International career



Youth


Pizzuto was part of the under-17 squad that participated at the 2019 CONCACAF U-17 Championship,[10] where Mexico won the competition.

Pizzuto was called up by Raúl Chabrand to participate with the under-21 team at the 2022 Maurice Revello Tournament,[15] where Mexico finished the tournament in third place.[16]
