As I understand it pitch angle would be a measure of rotation around the lateral axis, attitude would be the aircraft's orientation about its own center of gravity.

So pitch is specific to a single plane of motion, attitude a general observation of how the aircraft is orientated in the air.



Edited because reading back I couldn't understand it and I just posted it
