First things first, the pizza should be primed before painting. So when I paint rarely use a color out of the bottle. There's likely 10 paints on that pizza. I started with making a deep maroon for the sauce, dry brushed with a slightly lighter red. Same went for the crust. Start with a dark brown and gradually dry brush tans and other lighter brownish tones until it's a color you like. Make your cheese off white, not yellow.
I really like to finish coat my toy customs with Testors dull coat. To me it gives a real factory toy finish. In this instance insealed it with dull coat and then used a high gloss to paint the cheese to emulate grease under the right lighting.
