“Cheese pizza” has been slang/a euphemism for child pornography (due to the initials being the same, “cp”) since at least 2010. I wouldn’t call it a dog whistle.
It communicates a specific message to a specific group in a way meant to pass unnoticed to the larger public without further context. It’s literally a textbook example.
Unless you want to argue that anyone talking about cheese pizza in public is obviously a pedo because it’s clearly the dominant and assumed meaning?

I’m just saying the term has been around for a while and felt more like a euphemism than a dog whistle to me in how people used it.
It meant that at least since the 90’s.
