Top answer
"not so pretty as all that", in itself, just means "not especially pretty" ("not as/so ~ as all that" is a set idiomatic pattern). However, in this example it is (as far as I can tell) also implied that "you" are attractive, and that this will contrast with the relative unattractiveness of the food.
