Morphology
The meaning 'a pizza with cheese as the main or only topping' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'cheese' with 'pizza' as a noun–noun compound: a pizza characterized by cheese. This is a common and regular compound pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The name cheese pizza comes from a simple picture: a pizza covered only with melted cheese, with no other toppings. So it means 'a pizza with cheese as the main or only topping'.
