Pizarro made his professional debut in his native Argentina with Lanús in 2009. In July 2013, he was transferred to Mexican club Tigres UANL. With Tigres, he lost the finals of the Mexico Apertura 2014 season and of the 2015 Copa Libertadores. A key player in Tigres, his team won the Mexican Apertura 2015 and Apertura 2016 championships.
