But in the spirit of the original post. For the FDA to count pizza as a serving of vegetable with a blanket statement one must consider the types of pizza consumed. I would guess that 90+ % of the pizzas consumed in America are not home made using fresh natural ingredients.

I don't know the answer for certain but the I think the OP has a very valid point.
A "serving of vegetables" is defined as 0.5 cups of (or 1 cup of leafy) vegetables (about 75 grams). However you get that on a slab of pizza crust doesn't really matter.
