The body tries to maintain a specific concentration of Sodium within the body. When you eat Sodium heavy foods such as Pizza, the local concentrations of the Sodium within the body increase. This effect is not the best for maintain the Sodium-Potassium pump which is pivotal in the optimal functioning of the cell. That is why, to lower the concentration of Sodium, the body tries to increase the concentration of water. This makes you feel thirsty.
