Pizza was an Australian television series on the Australian television network SBS.

In addition to this, a theatre show entitled "Fat Pizza", starring several characters from the show, has toured the Australian east coast.

The television program is noted for its frequent cameo appearances of numerous Australian celebrities of all varieties, including actors, comedians, professional athletes, and other public figures.
