Instead, order pizza from these OTHER people, because they are more like I am, and I agree with their lifestyle, or their opinions, or whatever it may be.
Boycotting a business for the owner's political views doesn't change the taste of the pizza. And I think the taste of the pizza is far more important than the owners thoughts on politics.

You are making mistaking an individual's or a group's decision to boycott as meaning that everyone else should also boycott. If others chose to participate, fine. If they don't, the boycotters are still engaged in expressing their freedom of choice.
Considering how there is loud criticism aimed by some at corporations for not being good citizens, what better way to show displeasure than in denying them one's hard-earned money?
