Side note: It’s also called Parizer in reference to Paris, the city that is neither Bologna, nor Lyon, another french city which would be the actual origin of the sausage.

Oh absolutely its pronounced baloney, I’ve just never seen it spelled that way (except as mentioned). I also don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say the name of the city (had to stop and think about how weird that is), but I assumed it was pronounced bolonya.
Baloney is a valid spelling though. And, yes, I think I’d look at someone very strangely who pronounced the city this way. And generally, your instincts turn out to be correct in these things. I highly doubt that the proper pronunciation of the city is “boloney”.
