Well, this is New Jersey, so going off actual Italian pronunciation rules from actual Italy isn't going to get you anywhere, but if you met someone from Florence with that spelling his name would definitely be pronounced kee-yay-za.

But then, in actual Italy, they don't drop the vowels from the ends of words, and would look at you very funny if you ordered "mannygot" or "mootsarell"

I crack up every time I drive past that exit. It''s from an indian phrase, "She's OK" (who she was, sadly, is lost to history.)
