01/15/15
Cheese lovers, rejoice! January 20th marks National Cheese Lovers Day—a day to honor the creamy, melty, and utterly delicious ingredient that makes pizza the ultimate comfort food. Here at our pizza shop, we know that cheese is more than just a topping—it’s the heart and soul of every perfect slice. But with so many varieties to choose from, we can’t help but ask: What’s your favorite type of cheese pizza?

Classic Mozzarella: The Timeless Choice

When you think of pizza, mozzarella is likely the first cheese that comes to mind. Its mild, creamy flavor and gooey, stretchy texture make it the classic go-to. Whether fresh or low-moisture, mozzarella melts beautifully and provides the perfect base for any pizza creation. Perfect Pairing: Margherita pizza, where mozzarella shines alongside fresh basil and vibrant tomato sauce.

Cheddar: A Bold Twist

Cheddar brings a sharp, tangy kick to the pizza game. While it’s not a traditional pizza cheese, it’s perfect for those who love a punch of flavor in every bite. It’s often blended with other cheeses to create rich, cheesy goodness. Perfect Pairing: BBQ chicken pizza, where cheddar’s boldness complements the smoky sweetness of barbecue sauce.

Parmesan: The Finishing Touch

Parmesan might not be your typical melting cheese, but its nutty, salty flavor is unbeatable as a topping. Sprinkled on a pizza after baking, it adds a layer of complexity that takes your slice to the next level. Perfect Pairing: Classic pepperoni pizza with a dusting of Parmesan for extra pizzazz.

Ricotta: Creamy and Dreamy

For a touch of elegance, ricotta is the way to go. Its creamy, slightly sweet flavor works wonders when dolloped onto pizza. It’s a favorite for white pizzas or as a complement to heartier ingredients. Perfect Pairing: Spinach and garlic white pizza, where ricotta’s creaminess shines.

Provolone: A Melty Marvel

Provolone, with its buttery, slightly smoky flavor, is another great melting cheese that adds depth to any pizza. Whether mild or aged, provolone enhances the overall flavor profile when mixed with mozzarella or other cheeses. Perfect Pairing: Meat lover’s pizza, where provolone’s savory notes pair perfectly with hearty toppings.

Blue Cheese: For the Adventurous Palate

Love it or hate it, blue cheese is a bold choice for pizza lovers who crave its sharp, tangy taste. It’s a standout ingredient that transforms a pizza into a gourmet experience. Perfect Pairing: Buffalo chicken pizza, where blue cheese balances the spicy kick of buffalo sauce.
