[5][7] In 1998, Pellissier was on the team that won the under-21 tournament Torneo di Viareggio,[8] and also appeared in a match of 1998–99 Coppa Italia.

[5][10] He then returned to Chievo for the 2002–03 season,[5] making his Serie A debut on 22 September 2002, when he played for 46 minutes in a 2–1 loss against Brescia Calcio.

[15][16] Outside the Italian League, Pellissier appeared four times in the Coppa Italia,[9] and once in the 2002–03 UEFA Cup as a 79th-minute substitute for Massimo Marazzina in the second leg of the club's first round match against Red Star Belgrade.

[23][24] Chievo were also knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Sporting Braga in two matches, in which Pellissier was not on the team's lineup.

[25][26] The 2006–07 season was a successful one for Pellissier from a personal standpoint; he was voted Chievo's best player by the club's supporters, winning the "Cangrande del Bentegodi".

[30] In 2008–09, Pellissier played all of Chievo's 38 Serie A matches and scored 13 goals, including two on 15 March 2009 in a 3–0 victory over S.S. Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

[71] On 19 May, he made his final home appearance for the club in a 0–0 draw against Sampdoria; in the 72nd minute, he came off for Manuel Pucciarelli, and was given a standing ovation by the fans and a guard of honour by his teammates, who saluted him.

[75] Pellissier made five appearances for the Italy national under-17 football team between April and May 1997; he scored no goals for the Italian under-17 side.

[76] In May 2009, Pellissier received his first call up to the Italian senior national team by coach Marcello Lippi to play in a friendly against Northern Ireland.

[82] He is also able to be deployed as an out-and-out striker,[83] or as a right winger, due to his tendency to drift out wide, and then cut into the centre to strike on goal with his stronger left foot.

[83] Possessing a keen eye for goal,[88] Pellissier is also an accurate striker of the ball from both inside and outside the penalty area,[83] and has drawn praise in the media over his defensive work-rate and movement off the ball, as well as his ability to make late runs into the box and either get onto the end of passes or create space for his teammates.

[83] Following his retirement, Pellissier stayed at Chievo as the club's new technical area coordinator, being assisted by Giorgio De Giorgis for transfer market-related duties.

[91] Later in the summer of 2021, ChievoVerona were expelled from Serie B as a result of financial irregularities relating to missing tax payments.

[92] This meant that the club was essentially bankrupt and needed new owners to restart in Serie D. Pellissier led the search for a new ownership group, but was unsuccessful.

[93] On 21 August 2021, Pellissier announced that ChievoVerona would cease to exist in an Instagram post, calling it "one of the saddest days of my life.

[95] The club was then renamed to FC Clivense following a legal warning from ChievoVerona's chairman and owner Luca Campedelli.

[96] The club won promotion to Seconda Categoria on their debut season, with a 43-year old Pellissier playing on the final league game and scoring two goals in a 5–0 win,[97] and successively entered Eccellenza after having acquired the sporting rights of San Martino Speme.

[98] In 2001, during the time Pellissier was playing for SPAL in Ferrara, he met Gian Micaela Viadana in a restaurant in which she was working.
