Reading the quote they are not saying pizza as in the entire meal/snack/whatever is a vegetable, only the tomato paste used on it. Which is of course incorrect as Tomatoes are a fruit as JCC pointed out.
Why they feel the need to classify it or point out it's "healthy" is beyond me since commercial pizzas are death and fat in a box. Though I have no doubt the companies who import or grow the Tomatos used in the paste will make more money.
On the other hand pizza doesn't have to be a big greasy fatty pig out.
You can make pizza healthi-ER by making your own, using as thin a base as you can get away with, making your own tomato paste, using minimal cheese or substitue, and loading it with vegetables and any meat if you eat it.
The tomato paste used on commercial pizzas is really not healthy at all. Full of salt, sugar and preservatives to boost the flavour . Gross >.<
