That, sir, is not a pizza.
That is known in First Nations anthropological circles as a midden; most likely of Nootka origin, scooped from its archaeological site and deposited in a cardboard box. Classic middens generally contained shells and fishbones; this example appears to consist primarily of fossilized mushrooms, onions, and an as-yet-unknown form of aboriginal mixed meat, sliced uncommonly thinly. It may well revolutionize the study of Nootka prehistory - it was previously supposed that they subsisted almost solely on seafood, and that their simplistic copper blades made fine knifework nearly impossible. Of equal note are the dipping sauces in plastic containers, since the most common materials of the time were cedar wood and woven reeds, and the manufacture of plastic would have required resources and technologies originally thought to have been first utilized some two thousand years after this midden seems to have been abandoned. I can see how they'd make the mistake, though - it does look vaguely pizza-shaped. You can generally tell a midden from a monstrous pizza, though, because there's no cheese on the former.
