You can either buy a pitch guage - available at most home improvement retailer or measure manually. Pitch is guaged by the rise over a 12'' run. Therefore, an 8 pitch roof rises 8'' for every foot. Therefore, if you take a level and mark it at 12'', hold one end against the roof, hold it level, and then measure the distance between the level and the roof at the 12'' mark, you will get your pitch. An inexpensive guage is definitely the way to go, but there are your options.
