“Milchig vs Fleishig was not mentioned in this paragraph only that somehow Hemish foods (Chulent , Kugel, etc) was more “Kadosh” than Pizza because our ancestors did not eat Pizza in Europe”
Once again, you are putting words in other people’s mouths. Just as R’ Meisels did not say that pizza is “assur” or that one “must” eat heimish foods, he did not say that the food that was eaten in Europe is “kadosh”. You can disagree with R’ Meisels all you want, but you have to stop distorting what he wrote. I quote (kudos to Wolf for tracking this down):
“It is a custom since time immemorial to have a Melaveh Malkah meal to “usher out Queen Shabbos,” also known as the Meal of King David…It is appropriate to urge people not to deviate from this ancient minhag. One should be cautioned against treating this meal with contempt, by eating non-Jewish dishes such as pizza on motza’ei Shabbos — even if the pizza has a reliable hechsher certification. The melava malka meal should have the character of a Shabbos meal”
It seems to me that R’ Meisels has two separate issues with eating pizza for melava malka. First of all, he believes that eating non-Jewish foods for melava malka is “treating this meal with contempt” – a point that many are sure to disagree with. However, he raises another point as well – “The melava malka meal should have the character of a Shabbos meal”. Pizza is a casual food, and it is not normally eaten at a formal occasion. I have heard from my Rov, R’ Betzalel Rudinsky, that one should not (although it is not “assur”) eat melava malka in pizza store as it is not an appropriate setting for a formal meal, which a melava malka is supposed to be.
