My mom always says that pizza will make everyone break out with acne. What do you think? Is pizza the culprit?

I would say talk to your dermatologist. Mine told me that the only way food makes you break out is if you smear it directly on your face and then leave it there. And as for the health benefits: Sauce is a vegetable, as well as any onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. Cheese is dairy. Yes, Crust is carbs, its bread. Most pizzas have meat. and if you like the "hawaiian pizza" you've got fruit. Unless you're eating pizza 24-7, its not the worst nutritionally.

You can't deny that pizza isn't one of the healthiest foods but it never seemed to make me break out.

Well, pepperoni has those fatty oils not to mention the cheese along with high sodium sauce. The bread is the only healthy part, but no one wants to eat that alone.

It never does that to me, the only thing that makes me break out is not washing my hair for more than a day.
