"Pizza" is feminine, but the sentence is about "déjeuner" (masculine). Using "ma" would change the meaning to "my pizza" instead of "my lunch".
La pizza, c'est mon déjeuner préférée.
The adjective must agree with the masculine noun "déjeuner"; "préférée" would be incorrect here.

The structure "c'est + noun" requires the noun to be preceded by an article; also the gender agreement is off.
