You're referencing "p" as a table, not as a table-alias, because you
select FROM p.
Your join appears to be unconstrained as well: you get every record in
p for each record in b. That's probably not what you want.
And you're using WHERE count(*) > 1 where you actually mean WHERE
EXISTS; you're not interested in the actual count, which is quite a
bit less efficient to determine than just existence.

You probably meant to write something like this:

SELECT b.way AS building_geometry
FROM osm_polygon AS b
WHERE tags @> hstore('building','yes')
AND EXISTS (
 SELECT 1 FROM osm_poi AS p
  WHERE p.value = 'pharmacy'
  AND ST_DWithin(b.way,p.way,1000)
 )
 AND EXISTS (
 SELECT 1 FROM osm_poi AS p
  WHERE p.value = 'school'
  AND ST_DWithin(b.way,p.way,1000)
 )

If you're on Postgres 9 then you can put the common osm_poi part in a CTE.
