"Soda" is even more of an americanism than "pop". ("Fizzy drink" is the only term I've ever heard used in the UK).

“Pop” gets used in the UK sometimes but I’ve only heard it in northern England. Never heard Soda anywhere in the UK though, apart from the specific case of cream soda.
It's always confused me why Wikipedia calls its UK language version "simple English".
Pop is common where I live in the Midlands
