Pizza has tomatoes, meat, veggies, bread, and such – so it has a little of everything in the food groups. Why is it not considered healthy?

Perhaps the problem is that to depersonalize things (and maybe make broad statements), it is easier to classify foods rather than diets as being healthy or unhealthy. Conceptually that is mostly incorrect.
The problem here is that the root cause is likely poor knowledge and lack of diet discipline – and these can feel like a personal attack. So it is perhaps easier to blame the food rather than blame the person. Now there are mitigating issues – poverty, lack of access etc but, on the whole, people make choices and the food doesn’t eat itself.
Pizza is fine as a part of a diet if you recognize that it can be high in fat, high in salt and calorie dense. So a little bit goes a long way.
