Brief Answer:
Possibility of vitamin B complex deficiency is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Such kind of oral lesion after hot and spicy food (pizza) is common with vitamin b complex deficiency.
So better to avoid very hot and spicy pizza. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Start multivitamin tablets containing folic acid, vitamin b 12, riboflavin, pyridoxine and zinc.
Don't worry, this is not serious thing.
You will mostly improve with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
