Pizarro, who grabbed a starting spot after Bayern's top scorer Mario Mandzukic was ruled out with a cold, used his chance to display all the skills that have made him the Bundesliga's top foreign scorer of all time and scoring three times in 15 minutes.
"It has been some time that I have scored three goals in one half," the 34-year-old told reporters with a big smile. "I am very happy to have scored.
"We played very well from the start and the early goal was important," he added in reference to Bastian Schweinsteiger's fifth minute goal from a curled free-kick.
"Then the goals started coming. It was just fun to play out there tonight. I hope it continues like that."
The tall Peruvian, however, who also scored twice in Bayern's German Cup second round last week, did not let this chance slip by.
"We had organised it before and said that if I score I will dance a Brazilian dance," Pizarro said.
