5 Types of Cheese to Top Your Pinsa

With endless top-abilities, it can be difficult to choose the perfect toppings for your pinsa. Luckily, pinsa is delicious enough to please every palate. It has the perfect texture—and taste—for any and all garnishes.

Although no two pinsas are the same, most hold one common denominator: cheese.

With roots in Italy and headquarters in Wisconsin, who better to recommend cheese than Pinsa Romana America? Let’s talk about our five favorite types of cheese to top our Roman-style pizzas.

5 Types of Cheese to Top Your Pinsa

Mozzarella

Let us begin with the tried and true, trusty mozzarella cheese. Arguably the most popular and universally-loved cheese, mozzarella is the perfect option for any pinsa topping. Its subtle flavor pairs well with everything—from classic margherita to a meat-lovers delight!

Pairs well with:
Basil
Arugula
Pepperoni
Tomatoes
Red Peppers

Parmesan

Parmesan is much stronger in flavor and harder in texture than mozzarella. It is best enjoyed when grated atop your pinsa—after it comes out of the oven. Just a sprinkle of parm adds depth to your other garnishes!

Pairs well with:
Prosciutto
Broccoli
Bacon
Mozzarella
Provolone

Goat Cheese

If you’re looking for a sharp, tart flavor, look no further than the elegant goat cheese. Best used alongside mild vegetables and herbs, goat cheese is unique in that it tends to linger on the palate. Pro tip: use it sparingly!

Pairs well with:
Mushrooms
Figs
Caramelized Onions
Peppers
Basil

Gorgonzola

Although blue cheese isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, it can result in a delicious combination of flavors when paired with sweet or nutty toppings. Lay prosciutto, sliced pairs, and crumbled gorgonzola on your pinsa crust for a decadent Italian treat. Buon appetito!

Pairs well with:
Green apples
Pears
Walnuts
Figs
Basil

Provolone

Sharp and semi-dry, provolone is often used in conjunction with mozzarella. Together, they make a divine cheese combo that can be topped with just about anything.

Pairs well with:
Chicken
Pesto
Sausage
Spinach
Onion
