"a piece of pizza" treats pizza as a substance. (Uncountable)

"a piece of a pizza" treats pizza as an object. (Countable)

Jacky56LinQ1:I ate a piece of pizza.
Q2:I ate a piece of a pizza.
Q3:I ate a piece of the pizza you bought to me?

All three Q's are correct (as modified above). Q2 is not very usual though. We often treat pizza, cake, and pie as substances (odd though it may seem) in the expression "a piece of ...".
