As far as I understand, due to conservation of angular momentum, the resulting system of neutral pions would need to have angular momentum 1, therefore, the identical neutral pions would be in an anti-symmetric state, which does not seem possible as they are bosons. Note that a neutral rho meson can decay into two neutral pions and α $\gamma$, although this decay is suppressed.
