Morphology

pizza + shop

The meaning 'a shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'pizza' (the food) with 'shop' (a place to buy goods). Noun+noun compounding to indicate a place that sells or serves X is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Pizza shop names the simple picture of a place where pizza is made and customers come into a shop to buy it. So, it means 'a shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold'.
