How do you pronounce Pioche? 

From the reactions I'm getting, I'm guessing it's not correct to call it beyotch.

Pioche is a French surname. To properly pronounce it you must speak French.

So, you say the "e" at the end? Is it like a long a or a soft e?

The e at the end is pronounced as a long a.

The pronunciation has been Americanized. The E is silent with a hard ch at the end.
