The 1953 movie The Band Wagon mentions pizza, and 1949's On he Town shows a pizzeria. I know I've heard a 1940s old radio show that mentions tacos, but I think pizza as well. Dean Martin had a hit song in 1953 That's Amore mentions pizza. In the early 50s food critics were worried that pizza would supplant the hot dog as the country's favorite food, so their must have been some penetration before that.

In “Splendor in the Grass,” a movie set in the 1920s, Warren Beatty asks, “What is pizza?”
