Explanation:

1. In the sentence "Pepperoni, sausage, cheese, anchovies—everybody equates these with pizza.", "Pepperoni", "sausage", "cheese", "anchovies" and "pizza" are nouns. So B is correct.
2. In "One can almost smell the delectable aromas that waft out from the pizzerias.", "aromas" and "pizzerias" are nouns. "One" is a pronoun here and "smell" is a verb. So B is correct.
3. In "Some establishments offer buffets with unlimited supplies of food.", "establishments", "buffets", "supplies" and "food" are nouns. "Some" is a determiner. So B is correct.
4. In "Teenagers often consider pizza to be a staple of their diet.", "Teenagers", "pizza", "staple" and "diet" are nouns. So A is correct.
5. In "Many would eat pizza at every meal if parents would approve.", "Many" (used as a noun here), "pizza", "meal" and "parents" are nouns. So A is correct.
6. In "Have you ever tried one of my breakfast pizzas with cream cheese and fruit?", "you" is a pronoun. "my" is a possessive adjective and "one" is a pronoun - but here "you" is the only pronoun in the traditional sense as "one" is used in a different context. So A is correct.
