Early life

Pizzarello was raised in Gibraltar.[1][2]

College career

Pizzarello has attended the Indian Hills Community College and the Graceland University in the United States.[1][2]

She scored 12 goals in 33 appearances for Indian Hills.[4]

Club career

In Gibraltar, Pizzarello played for Lions Gibraltar and Lincoln Red Imps, briefly returning Lincoln in 2018 between her stints at college. In 2021 it was initially reported that she had signed for ADC Esteponense in Spain,[5] but later signed for Malaga City, making her debut on 31 October 2021 against Marbella Promesas in a 3-0 win.[6] After the regular season, she transferred to CD Guadalajara.

On 14 July 2022 Pizzarello went professional, joining Rayo Vallecano of the Spanish second flight on a one year deal.[7] However, visa issues caused the deal to fall through, and on 12 September she instead signed for Women's Championship side Lewes.[8] Seeing chances limited at the Rookettes, Pizzarello moved again in January 2023, joining ambitious Newcastle United on a free transfer.[9]

International career

Pizzarello made her senior debut for Gibraltar on 24 June 2021 in a 1–4 friendly away loss to Liechtenstein.[3] She scored her first international goal against the same opposition in November that year, creating a 1-0 win at Gibraltar's Victoria Stadium.[10]
