Most pizza ruled out by the kid-in-its-mother's-milk constraint is
independently ruled out by the nature of the meat (pepperoni,
sausage).  Yes, I know it's possible in principle to opt for a
meatball/hamburger and mozzarella pie, but I'd think if you were
going the meat topping route you might as well go whole hog.
