Duplicate the layer an odd number of times (Cmd + J) and move topping randomly on top of pizza. Remember to click on layer of item you want to move.
Continue this procedure with two more toppings. To create a more realistic image, overlap some items and change size, shape, orientation, etc. with Cmd + T. You can also reorder layers to place items on top of others
