Pizza with cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, pre-shredded cheese works fine, but freshly grated cheese melts better and often has a richer flavor since it lacks anti-caking agents.
You can use tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, or even pesto for a different flavor. Adjust thickness by simmering to reduce liquid if needed.
Use a gluten-free pizza dough or a cauliflower crust. Ensure all other ingredients (like tomato paste) are certified gluten-free.
Mozzarella is classic for meltability, while Parmesan adds sharpness. Try creamy Fontina, provolone, or smoked gouda for extra depth.
Yes, assemble the pizza (unbaked) on parchment, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Bake directly from the fridge—add 1–2 extra minutes.
Store cooled slices airtight for 3–4 days. Reheat in a 175°C oven for 5–10 minutes or use a skillet on low to crisp the crust.
Absolutely! Freeze slices on a tray, then stack them with parchment between layers. Reheat from frozen at 190°C for 8–12 minutes.
Top with cooked chicken, pepperoni, or crumbled sausage before adding cheese. For vegetarian protein, try chickpeas or tofu.
Overloading toppings or underbaking can cause sogginess. Pre-bake the crust for 3–5 minutes before adding toppings for extra crispness.
Serve with a simple arugula salad, garlic knots, or roasted vegetables. A light soup or antipasto platter also works great.
