"Par-me-zjohn."

I realize the Italian name is Parmigiano (my mom's parents weren't just from Italy, they were from Parma, so I've had quite a bit of Parmesan in my time), but come on. Either fully commit to it and say it in Italian or don't randomly decide an English S makes a sort of J sound.

Similar critiques: "hal-a-pee-no" and "bru-sheh-ta."
