Each pizza has equal no of breads and equal no of toppings. This means that pizza can be a combination of
1 bread (can be chosen among 2) and 1topping ( can be chosen among 6 )
OR
can be a combination of
2 breads (can be chosen among 2) and 2 toppings( can be chosen among 6 )

=

2C1*6C1 + 2C2*6C2 = 27

Yes, the wording of this question is suspect.
"an equal number of kinds of topping and an equal number of kinds of breads" - implies each pizza has say 1 kind of bread and 2 kinds of toppings or 2 kinds of breads and 3 kinds of toppings etc. In each case, the number of pizzas one can make would be different.

I certainly could not conclude that it means " the number of kinds of breads is the same as the number of kinds of toppings"

This question should be reworded per Karishma's comment above in order for the suggested answer to be unambiguously correct.
