All over. Most people think of Egypt, because that's where the most famous ones are, but there are lots of smaller (and a few larger) ones scattered around.Giza, Egypt is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu ... that's THE pyramid, to most people.

The first pyramid-like structures were the ziggurats of Mesopotamia.

There are a large number of pyramids in Sudan (even more than in Egypt); these tend to be steeper and smaller than Egyptian pyramids.

The largest pyramid in the world (by volume) is the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico. Mesoamerican pyramids are "stepped pyramids", somewhere in between ziggurats and Egyptian pyramids.

The Romans built a few of them; one surviving example is the Pyramid of Cestius.

Quite a few modern buildings are pyramids; a couple of notable ones are the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas (which doesn't have elevators but "inclinators" that travel on a diagonal) and the Transamerica Building in San Francisco (very tall and narrow, but definitely pyramidal).
