This is probably too late, but if you have difficulty refusing the pizza entirely, just take a slice and eat the toppings, leaving the cheese and crust.  They probably won't push another slice on you.

I always find it puzzling when I hear that people are pushing a certain food on others. I don't eat pork, but at BBQs family members will ask if I want hot dogs or pork ribs; and I think to myself 'you know i don't eat pork, right.' I just decline, but I always wonder what's it to someone else if I choose not to eat something; so why be pushy about it. Ok, sorry - Rant Over.

You can have cheat days or meals if you like, but I know that doesn't work for everyone. You'll have to decide the best way to handle it going forward, but I use the following techniques:

1. Politely decline as many times as necessary
2. Eat before I go; particularly if i know the event will not have many (if any) foods for me
3. Carry snacks with me (depends on the type of party it is). My snack of choice is usually https://braaitime.com/index.php/ meats (they fit in the pocket and make me fill satisfied and not hungry.

Maybe something like that can work for you; to keep the temptations down and manageable.

Good Luck,
