GUYS, THERE’S NO need to worry any more. Scientists in New Zealand have used their vast knowledge to determine which cheese is best for pizza.
And it’s…wait for it… MOZZARELLA!
Yes, they really have scientists working on this kind of thing. (Can we help?)
According to a new study published in the Journal of Food Science, mozzarella is the best pizza cheese because it “melts, bubbles and browns” better than any other cheese.
(The full title of the study is ‘Quantification of Pizza Baking Properties of Different Cheeses, and Their Correlation with Cheese Functionality.’ Cheese functionality.)
So mozzarella wins, but the scientists say it’s OK to pair different cheeses with it for a “sharper flavour”. Like we didn’t already know. Four-cheese pizza, anyone?

Just look at it there, bubbling away.
Fox reports that the scientists used special cameras and software to measure the amount of bubbling, browning and oil content in various cheeses.
Cheddar browns nicely, but it doesn’t have the same stringy, elastic quality as mozzarella, so no bubbles.
