General vs. Particular

Do you like pizza? is a question about pizza in general. Therefore according to the lesson it should be C'est but the answer given is Elle. I think either the answer or the lesson should be changed.

This is weird! I type and it shows blank!Now I cannot figure out "plus-que-parfait"! Even J'avais is "I had"! So, how do I know if it is "J'avais" or "J'ai eu" that has to be used? Sorry, just cannot find the answer!
