For Pizzo, art was a form of research conducted through systematic, programmed processes, which he initially developed in notebooks before transferring them to canvas.[2] Today, his approach to merging art, science, and technology is referenced in discussions about the history of computers and digital art.[3][4]

Together with Lucia di Luciano, Pizzo participated in the Nove Tendencije 3 exhibition in 1965, in Zagreb, Croatia. He participated in VIII Quadriennale d’Arte di Roma (1960), Esposizione Universale di Montreal (1968), VI Biennale Romana (1968), Biennale Internazionale di Barcellona (1992), etc.[5]
