Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I honestly don't think I would be too worried about this. He should be able to digest this just fine. The most that will likely happen is he may have some diarrhea. Just keep an eye on him and if he starts vomiting or has severe diarrhea then you should take him to your vet for an exam.

Hope this helps. Best wishes!

    Tomatoes on the pizza would not worry much, but if there was onion on it or a lot of garlic or a lot of cheese, then there may be a problem. However if they only ate a slice it may not be so bad. Watch for diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and pale mucous membranes. If any of that occurs within the next few days, especially the pale mucous membranes (gums, for example) then they need to be seen by a veterinarian for an exam.
