At the beginning of the movie, the McCallisters order pizza–a lot of pizza—from the fictional Little Nero’s pizzeria. It’s a big family, which calls for a big order. In the movie, the cost for the pizza totals up to $122.50.
Adjusted for inflation, that’s around $230. Talk about extra cheese—that’s a lot of mozzarella.

There's a fan theory that actually the family not only intended to leave Kevin behind but also have him killed during a "robbery" by hitmen Marv and Harry.
The family "arranged" things on the night before the departure to make sure that Kevin ended up alone in a separate attic room, so that he could be "forgotten." Notice the tricks they used. Warning him that Fuller pees the bed. Fuller drinking the Coke and grinning at Kevin. Everyone being mean to Kevin and making him feel isolated. Then staging the argument so that Kevin gets in trouble and is sent away.
Marv and Harry were hired to kill him, but they had to make it look like a robbery gone wrong, which is why they were breaking into nearby homes and turning on the faucets. If Kevin was found dead in a home with a running faucet, the police would just think it was the Wet Bandits and another botched robbery.
The parents then had to put on a big show in public of being "concerned" when they realized Kevin was "left behind." It's why they made a scene in the airport and made sure to put in calls to the police, documenting their concerns.
When the mom got home she literally expected Kevin to be dead. That's why she's so surprised to see him.
But anyway they bought all that extra pizza so that Kevin would have food to live on until Marv and Harry got to him. Wouldn't want him to die of neglect instead of murder, since that would fall on the parents.

btw, Home Alone has spawned an amateur critical literature unlike any other film except for maybe the Shining. And like the Shining's, it offers countless rabbit holes concerning secret meanings and various forms of interpretation (social-critical, genre manipulation, etc.). some of the theories verge on the conspiratorial, but many are critically interesting and worth spending some time on. though I should point out I have a friend who's doing his doctoral thesis on the forms that Home Alone exegesis have taken in the last decade, and he says you can lose your life in it. some people have. so take it with a word of caution. but for those interested check out "Home Alone: Reinterpretations" (2001, Johnson and Vickers), "Home Alone and Freud" (2003, Maundebaum), "Kevin McCallister As Edvard Munch's Screaming Existential Everyman" (2007, Donovan et al), and "Home Alone and Eyes Wide Shut: the Treatment of Domestic Disturbance in American Film" (2011, Ailes).

It was $12 a pizza with the tax built in, prob bc ppl paid in cash back then, and I guess a $2.50 delivery fee. Not that crazy considering all the toppings they got. The pizza place prob had some deal where it was up to 2-3 toppings for the $12 rather than charging for each one individually. That's why they only got one plain cheese bc it was a rip off by comparison.
Considering they're also in a yuppie area it's not that expensive. Those pizzas would probably be like $25 today.
