Because they add lots of:
• salt
• monosodium glutamate
If you have an extreme thirst that seems out of proportion to the amount of pizza you've eaten, it's probably the monosodium glutamate, although there's definitely going to be lots of salt in there too.
Bear in mind that ripe tomoatoes and well-aged cheeses (e.g. parmesan) contain natural glutamate, although that doesn't mean the cheese used on the pizza hasn't had monosodium glutamate added artificially. (Mozzarella doesn't have a high amount of natural glutamate like parmesan does.)
Often the monosodium glutamate will take the form of hydrolysed or fermented protein / soy / starch, only because this gets round food labelling laws — so you probably won't see it labelled as that.
Basically the reason they add that stuff is because they want to add monosodium glutamate and if you add "hydrolysed soy" or whatever, you don't have to label it as monosodium glutamate, because it contains monosodium glutamate "naturally".

Yes, it makes me very thirsty. Thats why beer goes so well with it. Your better off just having a smoothie.

no saltine !!! all the salt from the cheese on the pizza is what makes you feel so thirsty.
