Sept. 5 is National Cheese Pizza Day
Mmmmm, cheese.
While we at culture think cheese pizzas are always a good choice, they’re especially good on National Cheese Pizza Day—which happens to be today. Roll out some dough for these five pizza recipes that make cheese the main attraction.
Cheddar-Goat Cheese Jalapeño Popper Pizza
A pizza that packs heat (and doubles as a perfect game day app) by Cheese Sex Death’s Erika Kubick.
Clam and Fontina Pizza
For those of us who refuse to let go of summer. “The aroma of this dish as it bakes in the oven is a wonderful preamble to how it actually tastes,” says Barbara-jo McIntosh, author of Tin Fish Gourmet: Gourmet Seafood from Cupboard to Table.
Heirloom Tomato and Chèvre Grilled Pizza
Got a ton of tomatoes? As we approach peak tomato season, consider putting your produce on the grill and making this chèvre-packed pizza.
This pizza makes great use of figs ripening around this time of year, as well as rich mascarpone cheese.
Ricotta and Strawberry Pizza
Ah, dessert pizza—what would we do without you? This version combines hand-dipped ricotta from Maplebrook Farm with strawberries for the ultimate late-summer treat.
