You must place all buttons for pizza (pizza menu items, pizza toppings, and pizza fractions) on panels using Panel Editor. You can add the buttons to an existing panel or you can create a panel just for pizza and put all pizza menu items, pizza toppings, and pizza fractions on the same panel, if space permits.
