I read it as 3 syllables, but say if with 2 when ordering.

I had someone argue with me about my pronunciation of mule. I use 2 syllables and she uses one. I can't even say "mule" with only one syllable!
The same person says "strypt" for striped. I say it with 2 syllables. She's from Baltimore, if that explains anything.

Dana Carvey also does "Chopping Broccoli," which seems relevant here.
