The good thing about your problem is: since you feel full directly after eating you can fuzz around and nearly immediately see what happens.
For example you could try and eat bread instead of the pizza until you are full, to see if it has the same effect.
Then you could try pure meat.
Then salad.
Then Cheese.
Try fresh products compared to frozen ones.
You'll be able to check out most foodgroups in a few days to weeks, and you'll know for sure what foodstuff is good for *you*.
I did something like that last year: since so many people insisted fresh salad is healthy and good, I bought fresh salad stuff in a farmers market once a week and ate two days from this. Funny thing though, after this I always felt full, overstuffed, and my stomach had the nagging feeling something was missing. So I kept experimenting what to use for salad, until I accepted that pure salad is just not my kind of food. After eating it I always felt stuffed, but still had a craving for more to eat - for me a sure sign there was some important stuff missing in my diet.
So I changed my diet back to more different food groups, salad being only one of many, and am happy again. I might feel full sometimes, but usually have more energy after eating than before. And I eat a lot of dairy and meat. And cookies
have fun experimenting!
