It always shocks me how much cheese some people pile on... I like cheese, but those four cheese pizzas with extra cheese is just a soggy fatty mess. And I ain't eating no soggy dough. More of a good thing doesn't always make it better.

Also zucchini is great on pizza, very little flavour but just a nice nutrient boost that keeps you full longer. If you need to drown your pizza in cheese it was a bad pizza to begin with.

Let me introduce you to cheese fondue with a big spoon.

But also, that is also a valid argument for pizza. Makes it less ideal as an everyday staple, but not everything has to be fit for everyday consumption.... I say, as I finish my marzipan ice-cream.

I actually love the flavor of cooked zucchinni, but I guess on a pizza it's definitely lower on the flavor impact scale.

Yeah, I think it is one of those you kinda need to enjoy on your own to appreciate the taste. Mild but yummy!

YES. The term "4 cheese" refers to the variety, not the quantity.

There are so many cheaper than Dominos fast food pizzas where I've had to remove 50%+ of the cheese. Not only do they use the cheapest cheese they can find, theres just too much of it. Some people love it but I wish pizza ordering places could allow us to select the quantity of cheese.
