    I created a Custom Post type like that :

    $pizza_options = array(
    'labels' => $pizza_labels,
    'description' => 'Holds our pizzas and pizza specific data',
    'public' => true,
//    'menu_position' => 1,
    'menu_icon' => dirname(plugin_dir_url(__FILE__)).'/assets/images/pizza_16.png',
    'supports' => array('title', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail'),
    'has_archive' => true,
    'rewrite' => array(
        'slug' => 'pizzas-a-vaureal'
    )
);

    but , I found that google index this type of page that I do not want :
    the tree links has the same code Post type mentioned above.
    i don’t want people access these pages.

    thank you

    You can block Googlebot from crawling any /pizzas-a-vaureal/ links. To Googlebot in robots.txt this just looks like another sub-folder to not crawl. Blocking Googlebot will not stop anyone from accessing the custom posts, but it will prevent many people from finding it.

    You could also or instead add a do not crawl meta tag in the head section of any requests involving the post type. Add the requisite conditional code to the header template of your theme (preferably child theme)
