When picking your cheese for pizza, you need to consider how the cheese browns, melts and stretches. The most common cheese for pizza is shredded mozzarella. It is a mild flavored cheese that doesn't overpower the other pizza ingredients. Other popular pizza cheeses include provolone, cheddar, and parmesan. There are also pizza mixes like Provel which is a combination of cheddar, swiss, and provolone. It's a St. Louis favorite. Or, a mix like this one from Whole Foods Market, a combination of mozzarella, provolone, and asiago cheeses #ad. But don't stop there, when using an olive oil base for pizza sauce, consider adding feta, or gorgonzola cheese for their sharp salty bite.
