Pizza is the maiden collaboration between Subbaraj and Santhosh. Like the latter's previous and debut film Attakathi, the score for Pizza was recorded, mixed and mastered at the Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia and engineered by Grammy Award-winner Leon Zervos.[1] The Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed the orchestral portions for the score.[1] Santhosh collaborated with Gana Bala again after Attakathi, performing the blues song "Dhinakkudha".[2] He added that "I wanted to attempt something new with his voice, but he took the song to a whole new dimension."[3]Arunraja Kamaraj debuted as a lyricist with the song "Rathiri" who also performed gibberish vocals.[4]
Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote, "Santhosh Narayanan delivers on the promise he showed in Atta Kathi".[7]The Hindu wrote "Santhosh Narayanan has experimented with the music in Pizza by foraying into a genre, different from the folk sound of his earlier Attakathi" and called the prelude version of "Mogathirai" as the "standout".[6] Vivek Ramz of In.com wrote "Santhosh Narayanan's 'Mogathirai' song is an instantly hummable one and picturised beautifully too. His background music is the biggest strength of the film and he's showed lot of finesse, especially during the thrilling moments in the film."[8]
Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express added the score being "eerie creepy" enhancing the mood and feel, while adding "Gana Bala’s blues jazz track is used with good effect as a cell phone’s ring tone here."[9] N Venkateswaran of The Times of India stated "More seasoning is provided by music composer Santosh Narayanan, who earlier scored a winner with Attakathi [...] The good background score [by Santhosh] ensure that the pizza remains crispy."[10] Sify wrote "The background score and music of Santosh Narayan (Attakathi fame) is a major plus."[11] Santhosh won the Big FM Tamil Melody Award for Best Debut Music Director for his work in the film (also for Attakathi).[12]
The film's original score was released an album by Think Music on 9 February 2025, 13 years after the film's release. It featured twenty tracks, also including a reprised version of "Mogathirai" performed by Sathyaprakash.[13]
