Very Possible: Thermal burns on the palate are not uncommon. Give it a few days to heal and see your dentist if it persists.

"Pizza Palate": Pizza and other hot foods or liquids (coffee) also can burn the roof of your mouth. If the soreness persist beyond one week, call your dentist for evaluation.
