The pizza is already on the filthy surface so you already lost out on that.
If it is a place with a small menu then it really isn’t THAT bad. It can get grodey over multiple days but hosing down the surface at the end of the day is generally a thing. Especially since that is getting tossed in a ripping hot oven shortly after being dusted.
The issue is when you start considering food allergies and dietary concerns. Two pizzas that go dough->sauce->cheese->other toppings isn’t THAT bad, unless you are dealing with allergies related to the different sauces. But if a place puts a dusting of cheese on top of the sausage or pepperoni and someone else got a vegetarian pizza? Or if someone has a pineapple allergy.
I would argue that anyone who would be deathly ill from even trace amounts shouldn’t be there in the first place. But it is still a dick move and can lead to that “something I ate” issue for mild/moderate reactions.
