Club Career

Early career

Born in San Luis Potosi, Pizzuto was first spotted at the age of 12 in 2013 by scout Jess Ibrom of the New Zealand-based Asia-Pacific Football Academy (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.

Pachuca

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

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 Leon. However, just nine minutes after coming on, Pizzuto broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle after getting his foot caught on the pitch.

Lille

On 1 August 2020, Pizzuto joined French side Lille on a free transfer. 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. 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.
