A slice of pizza
Pizza is a type of Human food, originating as an example of Italian food, that consists of a square or circular piece of dough covered in tomato or other sauce, cooked with numerous toppings, the most common of which is mozzarella cheese. Other popular toppings include pepperoni, mushrooms, anchovies, and sausage. The finished pizza is cut into wedge-shaped slices or squares.
In 1986, cetacean biologist Gillian Taylor invited a time-traveler from the future, James T. Kirk, to a dinner of pizza to discuss the future of George and Gracie, two humpback whales she studied. She ordered a large mushroom and pepperoni pizza with extra onions and a glass of Michelob. Kirk, unaware of the size a pizza, ordered one too. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Pizza is usually enjoyed hot, but 21st century criminal Loomis found an extra slice of pizza in its box left out atop his sink, and ate it immediately, after arriving home one night in 2004. (ENT: "Carpenter Street")
In 2151, Hoshi Sato asked Malcolm Reed's sister Madeline if Malcolm in his youth had never said "Let's go out for pizza" or something similar, but she denied this. (ENT: "Silent Enemy") Later that year, Commander Charles Tucker III suggested to Tolaris that he should sample pizza, since the Vulcan was unaccustomed to Human cuisine. (ENT: "Fusion")
Hoshi Sato had fond memories of a pizzeria called Fiorella's in San Francisco on Fountain Street. In 2153, Tarquin extracted these memories from her mind to create the perfect slice of pizza. (ENT: "Exile")
While the starship USS Voyager was trapped in the Delta Quadrant, Tom Paris tried to convince mess cook Neelix to hold a weekly pizza night. Neelix thought there might be difficulty in replicating the cheese. (VOY: "Mortal Coil")
While suffering from the effects of crossing the transwarp threshold, Lt. Paris stated that he was craving a piece of pepperoni pizza with Kavarian olives. (VOY: "Threshold")
In the Bashir 62 holoprogram, Tony Cicci claimed that the chef of Vic's Las Vegas Lounge (under Frank Chalmers's ownership) "wouldn't know a good pizza if it hit him in the face". (DS9: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
Apocrypha
In the novel Where Sea Meets Sky, Christopher Pike shares a pizza (New York Style) with his companions Hompaq and Nowan. He comments that "Pizza has being around for at least three hundred years, and it's always this way when more than one person tries to order one." After discarding anchovies, haggis, peppers, mushrooms, and gagh, they settled on "Pizza, New York style, large, with sausage, NAP bacon, green olives, pineapple, and standard cheeses."
