Involved in tennis and rugby union as a youth, Pizzey excelled in cricket and was selected for the Queensland Colts cricket team in 1929.

In 1931, he was selected to represent Queensland in the Sheffield Shield against Victoria, but the match was cancelled due to rain and Pizzey was unable to represent the state.

On 15 July 1940, Pizzey was mobilised in the Citizens Military Force militia reserve unit as a gunner.

Following his discharge from the AIF, Pizzey returned to teaching, and by 1946 was involved in administration at the Queensland Board of Adult Education.

1949

He resigned from the Department of Public Instruction in 1949 and became involved in representing the interests of sugar cane farmers as manager of the Childers Cane Farmers' Co-Operative and secretary to the Isis District Cane Growers' Executive.

1950

This representative role encouraged Pizzey to run for parliament, and in 1950 he won the safe Country Party seat of Isis in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.

1957

In 1957, a split in the Labor Party's Queensland branch brought down the Labor government, forcing an election.

The Country-Liberal Party Coalition won a sweeping victory, its first in 22 years.

With his educational background, Pizzey was appointed Minister for Education in Frank Nicklin's cabinet, and retained this job for more than a decade.

1960

Nicklin retired as Premier and party leader on 17 January 1968, and Pizzey succeeded him in both posts.

Just over six months after his appointment, Pizzey died suddenly, in Brisbane, of a myocardial infarction.
