Congress did not declare that Pizza is a vegetable. The debate in Congress was not even about pizza! It had to do with the school lunch program and tomato paste.

The debate stemmed around one-eighth cup of tomato paste being credited with the same nutritional value as half a cup of vegetables in the school lunch program regulations.

President Obama's administration drafted guidelines that would have required the actual volume of the vegetable served to be one-half cup. As a result, one-eighth cup of tomato paste would no longer count as a serving of vegetables. Though not specifically debated in Congress, that would have meant that a slice of pizza would have to have one-half cup of tomato paste on it to be counted as a serving of vegetables.

Congress blocked that change and one-eighth cup of tomato paste will still be counted as a serving of vegetables in the school lunch program.
