No, the phrase 'black as pitch' is never used in the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
However, in Through the Looking Glass, the phrase 'as black as a tar barrel' appears in the poem about Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.'
