In the US, usually "FEE-low". The UK or Australia might be different.

Also more typically spelled "phyllo".

phyllo [FEE-loh]
Literally translated, the Greek word phyllo means "leaf." Culinarily,
it refers to tissue-thin layers of pastry dough used in various Greek
and Near Eastern sweet and savory preparations, the best known being
BAKLAVA and SPANAKOPITA. Phyllo (also spelled filo ) is very similar
to STRUDEL dough. Packaged fresh and frozen phyllo dough is readily
available — the former in Greek markets, the latter in supermarkets.
Unopened, phyllo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Once opened, use within 2 to 3 days. Frozen phyllo can be stored for
up to 1 year. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Refreezing phyllo
will make it brittle.
