The best cheese pizza I've ever made. Pick your crust from one of the great ones on this site, then top it with this recipe. Yum! Adapted from Peter Reinhart's American Pie (to make it closer to his version, use 1/4 c. cheddar, not 1/4 pound co-jack--I read the recipe wrong when I made it, but the flavor was fantastic anyway).

  • part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated1⁄4 lb
  • colby-monterey jack cheese, grated1⁄4 lb
  • parmesan cheese, grated1⁄4 cup

  3. 3

    Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over pizza.

  4. 4

    Bake according to the directions for your chosen crust.

  5. 5
