On paper, yes. In flavor....no....just...oh god no... at least in my school district (u.s) because they used this nasty white sauce instead of tomato.
This meme is referencing a very specific type of pizza which was almost universally served by American elementary schools in the '90s (maybe also late '80s?). It was basically knock-off Ellio's--rectangular with red sauce and cheese, relatively bland but palatable enough.
Really good YouTube video going into the history of that specific pizza including how to recreate it:
