Hold it under cold water. That will help get rid of some of the sting.

Neat Lavender Essential Oil is puported to be good if the skin is not broken. There is a homeopathic remedy (cream) called combudrum which is amazing and I have put it on blistered and broken burnt skin - for me it's The thing for burns. I have had trouble getting hold of it though - somewhere like Holland & Barrett may stock it.
Keeping the affected area in (ice) cold water can also bring relief to the burning sensation that remains after a scalding accident.

keep it under running cold water for as long as you can, it stops the burning, cools and can make it feel a bit numb which means you will not feel the pain as much, (there are different types of neurones in the skin, that sense pain, pressure or temperature, the coolness of the water can over ride the pain signals, afterwards get some aloe vera jel, this too is soothing for burns (and sun burn) and promotes healing! (hope you enjoyed the pizza anyway!)

Either cut a piece off an Aloe Vera plant, or get the Aloe Vera liquid from a pharmacy. That might help. Bless Your Heart That Hurts!!

Everything except the "aloe" answer is going to make it worse!
Go and run a basin of cold water and keep your hand in it for 10 minutes at least. That should ease the pain and minimise swelling/ blistering.
Then cover it with something sterile and not fluffy. If you have freezer bags, or clingfilm, that'll do fine.
Poor you!

I burned my face eating chicken today. The skin had a bubble in it and as I put it up to my face it exploded hot fat on my face.
Very freakish accident. I used "neosporin Pain relief". It seemed to help.
But you have it on your finger so I would use a bandage over it so you don't keep aggravating it whenever you use your hands which is all the time naturally.

The white of a chicken egg. (Never, never put grease or oil: it provoques blistering)
For mild burns, talcum powder
For heavy burns, to rebuild skin, here Ãn México we put the bark of Cuahutecohmate tree

Aloe vera gel, but even better the actual plant. Open up one of the leaves and put that on your burn.

Let it blister...
Do not put any ointment on it
Cover it with gauze or a band-aid..
If it needs an antibiotic polysporin types are the best ..
they now have them with pain relief as well..
but the old method of butter and such isn't practised anymore..
cool the surface i\first with ice to limit the damage

I think the most important question should be, did you burn the pizza? Well, did you?
