FAQ
Stick with good mozzarella, provolone, and/or feta cheese. Cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese has a low melting point, making them less ideal for pizza. Push toppings all the way to the edge of the pizza, and avoid piling too many toppings, which may cause uneven cooking. The pizza should be no more than an inch thick.
Mozzarella cheese is the most popular choice for pizzas around the world. It melts perfectly and has a pleasant taste. Mozzarella's mild flavor mixes well with the other toppings, making every bite delicious. It's truly the best cheese for pizza.
Pizza topping ingredients
- Cheese – go traditional with a generous portion of mozzarella, or mix things up with cheddar or parmesan.
- Protein – try adding shredded chicken, cooked mince, pulled pork, spicy sausage, bacon, crispy tofu or even a fried egg.
Besides mozzarella, the quattro formaggi usually combines a blue or mature cheese, a soft cheese (such as emmental or gruyère) or a creamy cheese (such as robiola or stracchino), and a hard cheese (Parmesan or pecorino, grated).
