The definite article is used before nouns that refer to the thing in general (aka generic nouns). In this respect, Spanish is completely different from English. (A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish 6th Edition)
Abstract nouns:
democracy > la democracia
Catholicism > el catolocismo
Countable nouns:
Tigers are dangerous animals. > El tigre es un animal peligroso.
My favorite food is pizza (in general) > Mi comida favorita es la pizza.
My favorite food is hamburgers (in general) > Mi comida favorita es la hamburguesa.
I don't think "my favorite food is everything" is grammatical in either language, but it's certainly nonsensical. It should read "I don't have a favorite food" but regardless it is probably fine in a humorous or informal context.

"Mi comida favorita es LA pizza". We need the definite article here for sure, although in European Spanish it'd be more natural to say "Mi plato favorito es la pizza". Same with the hamburger.
"Mi comida favorita es todo". It sounds strange and I wouldn't recommend using it, but I see myself saying this in a humorous way replying to "¿Cuál es tu comida favorita?". It's better to say "Me gusta todo" / "Como de todo".

Mi comida favorita es pizza / Mi comida favorita es hamburguesa - suena mejor
me gusta comer de todo.

Pues yo sí lo usaría sin artículo si lo escribiera o dijera así:
"Mi comida favorita es: pizza/hamburguesa"
No sería muy común porque implicaría la entonación y pausa de los 2 puntos pero sí lo usaría.
Ahora si va al comienzo de la oración, es necesario el artículo; por ejemplo: "LA pizza/hamburguesa es mi comida favorita".
Y lo de "Mi comida favorita es todo" suena un poco extraño, y en ese caso también lo usaría con los 2 puntos; ie "Mi comida favorita es: todo"
Saludos!
