that's like saying: Can someone be so smart they could pass a test that marks them as an idiot? or: If there is a game where if you lose, you win, who would be the winner?
THESE ARE IMPOSSIBLE!

I had a friend who asked a similar question: Can God make a rock that's too heavy for him to lift?
To his way of thinking, this proves that there can be no God.
1) God is all-powerful.
2) This question proves that there is at least one thing that God can't do. Either he can't make the rock, or he can't lift it.
3) Therefore, God couldn't possibly exist.
This is just another example of faulty logic. All he did was define the term "all-powerful" in such a way that nothing could be "all-powerful". It has nothing to do with the question of whether or not God exists. It's a simple matter of vocabulary definitions.
Take the question:
What happens when an irresistable force meets an immovable object?
Its a stupid question because it's all about definitions.
1) If the force moves the object, then the object wasn't immoveble.
2) If the object is not moved by the force, then the force wasn't irresistable.
3) If an irresistable force and an immovable object can exist in the same universe, then they can never meet.
It's just that simple.

First - There is no such thing as "God" except in one's mind.
If you visualize this concept then you can make it do anything you want it to. So the answer is: how do you feel? Do you feel your concept of God has more power in pizza creation or in pizza eating. If they are even then it's a wash.
I would say this is where you have to thrown in another illogical construct - I submit to you... THE DEVIL! See The Devil could make a pizza that was huge. But could God eat a Devil Pizza? Would this God eat it? Hmmmmm. If he ate it would he be evil? Would he be giving into The Devil's will? Or does this "God" create pizzas that It forces The Devil to eat? And what about a calzone?
If your idea of this "God" made one so huge, then It might just flop it in half and bake it into a calzone. Then would this qualify as eating the pizza? Or does the act of pizza flopping eliminate it as a pizza?
But it really depends on how hungry this "God" is. That and if It is drinking beer. I would reason beer drinking might effect the "God" so as It could eat the pizza. I would hate to see what happened after a mean Friday night of galactic pizza eating and beer drinking when this "God" relieved Its bowels in the crapper. Now, Can this "God" lay a turd so big even It can't flush it?

The answer is no.
To back that up I have a few points to make about God.
First, God is All wise. This means that He would see the foolishness of doing something like that in the first place.
Seccond, God is All Knowing.
Third, one must consider where God gets His power. If God simply has access to this great power that He possesses, then He could maby do it, but only if He was not really all powerful. On the other hand, if God not only has access to this power, but also is sustained by it, and sustaines it, through his perfection, then He can not possibly do anything to hurt Himself, because He would loose his status of perfection if he were to Sin by causing harm to a perfect being(Himself). Consequently He would cease to be God, because God is perfect, and someone who is not perfect, by definition can not be God. Thus if He were to attempt such a thing, He would cease to exist as He is, as would all things that are sustained through his power.
That brings us back to the original points of His Wisdom, and Knowledge. God knows that He would cease to be God if he were to do something like making a Pizza so hot even he couldn't eat it. Therefore because of his Wisdom, and Knowledge, God can not use his Power to do such a thing.
Of course then, a wisecrack could say, what if he didn't actually try to eat it, but that is another question, which the asker can ask me if they are interested in a more detailed answer.

I like to think of God more as all knowing than all powerful. In other words he knows how to do anything that is possible. God is a immortal being who can eat pizza if he wants but can not be hurt in anyway.

Little known fact- God is lactose intolerant and can't eat pizza due to the high cheese content. And for that matter, cheese is what holds in the most heat, and without it pizza doesn't stay warm long. Moses can though.

Of course, you silly blasphemer!!! If He wanted to eat a pizza, He wouldnt make it too hot to eat, but if His desired outcome is a pizza too hot for Him to eat, then that is what He would make.

Yup. And then he gets cranky because he burned the roof of his mouth when he was too impatient to let it cool. POOF: the dark ages, he took it out on us.
Also, god doesn't need to do anything. But he likes certain things, like skiball and pizza.
