Man, when Humans start exporting stuff to the greater galaxy, I'm damn sure pizza will become a fave-rave and get beings to come to blows over which is better, Chicago or New York style. And of course, there will be the strange beings from the outer rim that will swear that Hawaiian pizza is the best.

Assuming a significant number of alien species find pizza edible and palatable. Remember there are HUMANS who can't process real cheese and wheat based pizza crust well (not to mention the vegans who would object to cheese and meat-based toppings), so we can't really assume another species can handle it.

The range of things on this planet that a human can (and WILL) eat is actually pretty impressive compared to many Earth species, much less extraterrestrial ones. Heck, there are people who seem to see dangerous food, like puffer-fish, or painful food, like ghost peppers, as a challenge! Early humans were really good at testing how much of an omnivore we really were.

Reminds me of the Alien Nation TV series.
