History Pisz arrived at Legia Warsaw in 1986 from Igloopol Dębica. At first, he was a substitute, but later he became a star of the team. He was known as a free-kicks specialist, scoring many goals from dead-ball situations.

In 1995, Legia won the Ekstraklasa title and qualified for the Champions League, where the team made it to the quarterfinals. Pisz performed admirably in Legia's first group match against Rosenborg, scoring two goals, including the tying goal for Legia. That made him the first player to score for a Polish team during Champions League group stages.
