I don’t think it’s the money aspect- a girl would prefer a free date in a park than one in a pizza shop. First, even if it is not in their neighborhoods, they still might run into people they know. Second, it’s usually crowded and not a great place for a conversation, with everyone on top of them staring and listening in. Also, not the kind of place that encourages lingering over a long meal. Better for the guy to run in, buy a few slices, and take them to a nice park or some place to eat picnic style where they have a bit more privacy and nicer ambience. Keep in mind though, it’s kind of hard to eat pizza politely (hands needed), a girl dressed up on a date might feel a bit awkward eating pizza with a guy she just met.
