The best cheese for homemade Pizza is mozzarella cheese.
A low moisture whole milk mozzarella cheese is the most popular type of cheese for pizza and is also the most widely used type of cheese for pizza.
Mozzarella cheese has great meltability, flavor and an ability to stretch which makes it a good choice for pizza making.
Other popular and best types of cheese for pizza making are Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and provolone cheese which can be used on pizza alone or even with mozzarella or mixed with other cheeses.
Mozzarella cheese offers a balance of moisture, elasticity and fat content which provides excellent melting and stretching of the cheese which helps to spread it out over the pizza.
Provolone cheese is a semi hard Italian cheese that has a slightly sharper flavor than that of mozzarella cheese and it's often used in blends or even used as a substitute for mozzarella cheese.
Cheddar cheese doesn't melt as good as mozzarella cheese but it's still good for pizza and is a popular addition to add to pizza by itself or with other cheeses, especially when you want a sharper and more assertive flavor.
Parmesan cheese is also good for pizza and can be sprinkled on top of the pizza either before or after baking.
I love to sprinkle Parmesan cheese onto my pizza even when it has other delicious cheese melted on it.
Other good cheeses that go well on pizza are Goat Cheese, Havarti and Gorgonzola which can also be incorporated into the blend of pizza cheeses or used by themselves.
Deep dish pizza often uses sliced mozzarella cheese to create a moisture barrier.
