I don't understand why "no me apetece" is said rather

I don’t understand why “no me apetece” is said rather than “no apetezco”.
Please explain. Thank you

Think of it as “it doesn’t appeal to me”. “Pizza” is the subject here.

Ok, thanks. In what instance would you use “apetezco”?

Well, I’ve never used it (I’m not a native speaker, by the way), but I imagine you might say, “¡Le apetezco al león hambriente!” (The hungry lion feels like eating me! - I appeal to the hungry lion.)

If you use “no apetezco” it means YOU are the one who is not appealing.

No me apetece (a mí) la pizza. A mí no me apetece la pizza

If I were a pizza I could say “No apetezco a Jingle”, because Jingle doesn’t want to eat me, he doesn’t feel like eating me today.
