I've always heard it pronounced cheeoach, but as has been pointed out, it's a made up silly word anyway. Italian doesn't use umlauts. An actual Italian would likely add a rudimentary 'e to the end, as in CHEEoach'e. They have a hard time ending a word with a consonant.

(and don't throw stones, I grew up Italian-American and know this from personal experience )
