As the pizza is digested in your stomach, it undergoes several processes. It is churned, mixing it with digestive enzymes and gastric acid to break it down into a semi-liquid form. Enzymes from the liver and pancreas further assist in breaking down fats and proteins. Eventually, waste materials are compacted for removal from the body. Prior to this, the pizza is mechanically broken up by teeth and mixed with saliva in the mouth.
