Abstract Neutral pion transverse momentum spectra were measured in p+C and p+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 17.4 GeV at mid-rapidity (2.3 <eta < 3.0) over the range 0.7 <p_T < 3.5 GeV/c. The spectra are compared to neutral pion spectra measured in Pb+Pb collisions at the same energy in the same experiment. For a wide range of Pb+Pb centralities (N_{part} < 300) the yield of pi^0's with p_T > 2 GeV/c is consistent with the p+C or p+Pb yields scaled with the number of inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions, while for central Pb+Pb collisions with N_{part} > 300 the pion yield is suppressed.
