They can be related but not necessarily. Pitch is where the nose is pointed, while angle of attack is the angle at which the passing air hits the wings. The nose can be pointed up with a low angle of attack (e.g. a climb during cruise) and conversely the aircraft can be pitched down with a high angle of attack (e.g. descent approach with flaps extended)
