A wonderful pizza! I was looking for pizzas without tomato sauce and this is the first one I tried. It was great!


Why Monterey Jack? Does it offer something that an Italian cheese does not? Just curious.


You can use any kind of cheese. I have made this with asiago, smoked gouda and pepper jack cheese. They are all good. Personally, I'm not a fand of Monterrey Jack cheese but I didn't want to alter the recipe. My favorite is Asiago on this pizza.

I tried it with fresh dough rather than store-bought prebaked. I cooked it a few minutes first then added the ingredients. It worked fine.
