Pirozzi lived in Clifton before moving to Franklin Lakes in 1961. After contracting polio as a young child, he developed a strong interest in medicine. He attended St. Peters College in Jersey City, and went on to receive his medical degree from Marquette Medical School in Wisconsin, and eventually became chief of urology at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson.
He was a parishioner of Most Blessed Sacrament R.C. Church in Franklin Lakes.

Pirozzi was pre-deceased by his sisters, Bette Pirozzi and Laura Piazza.
