Snakes cannot digest plant material like tomatoes (tomato sauce) or wheat (pizza crust), and they are lactose intolerant (cheese). So the pizza idea is definitely out the window.
All of their nutrition is derived from their food which is usually a rodent, reptile, fish, or worms/arthropods. However, different species of snakes specialize in eating specific animals (boas typically eat rodents, while a gartersnake may eat mostly fish).
Also, snakes are predators and do not feed on carrion, so unless they are trained to do so, they will not eat dead things. They find their prey by sight, smell, touch, and in certain species, by heat.
I would recommend studying a little more on snakes and feeding any snake a meal that is better fitted for its species, such a rodent, fish, and such.

Heck no they don't like pizza! They want meat, and preferably alive! In fact, I doubt very much that the snake would even recognize pizza as food.

No way! Everyone knows that snakes like COLD pizza. That way they can look more triangular once they are done eating, which makes them more appealing to their mates. Oh, and they also like to eat it on a Plane.

Most snakes refuse to eat anything that is not alive. However they only need to be fed every couple of weeks or so. Try him with a mouse or a rat if he is large.
If he is not big enough for a mouse then I believe they often eat small frogs.

no because they're not built to process the nutrients contained in pizza, they're built to process the nutrients in rodents.

They might like it to wrap around. You're SOL if you want it to eat though.
