11 Ways To Make Pizza Even Cheesier

One of the things that makes pizza pretty much the most perfect food in the universe is that it combines two of the most wonderful ingredients in the universe: bread and cheese. But if you are loyal to your local pizzeria’s basic pie, then chances are you’ve been missing out on some of the best cheeses to put on your pizza. Mozzarella may be a classic, but there are so many other possibilities out there.

If you are one of those people who keeps it old-school with plain old dough, sauce, and cheese, then you are seriously limiting yourself. It’s time to open your arms to a whole new world of unending, cheesy goodness. Just think of all the unique pizza toppings you haven’t yet tasted, and the pizza hacks that you haven’t yet explored. It’s truly mind-boggling, and the first step to remedying your lack of pizza diversity is to seek out some new, irresistible cheese recipes.

Your tomato-mozzarella pizza will always be waiting for you after you branch out and explore one of these 11 pizza alternatives. After all, there is no such thing as too much cheese, and no such thing as too much pizza. The options are truly endless — and these pizzas are just the start of your cheesy adventures.
