Celebrating Cheese Lovers Day at Mortadella Head

What (usually) comes from cows and tastes good on everything? If you guessed milk, you would be semi-correct. The answer is: CHEESE. Being an Italian joint, we obviously take our cheeses very seriously. Every cheese has its place and serves its own purpose. When it comes to our pizzas, each cheese is chosen to compliment the other toppings perfectly. 

La Margherita: This classic pizza is better than your average cheese pizza. The fresh mozzarella compliments the tomato sauce, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil perfectly. Sometimes you have to leave the crazy  toppings aside and stick with simplicity. That’s probably why these fresh flavors have withstood the test of time. 

The Pig Mac: This pie is anything but simple. Think the pizza version of your favorite cheeseburger. Start with a base of tomato sauce and then load it up with ground beef, bacon, tomato, caramelized onion, iceberg lettuce, a thousand island, pickles and most importantly, american cheese. American cheese is the perfect choice to tie all of these flavors together and meld these two classic dishes into one. 

The Balboa: For this pizza, think a classic cheese steak with a twist. Topped with tomato sauce, grilled steak, roasted peppers, sauteed onions, roasted mushrooms, all tied together with aged mozzarella and fonduta cheese. Fonduta is a delicious, drippy and creamy blend of flavors that puts the “cheese” in cheese steak. 

Buffalo Chicken: This spicy favorite is becoming more popular by the minute. With tomato sauce, our juicy boneless buffalo wings, creamy gorgonzola dressing, aged mozzarella and feta cheese, this pizza serves up a delicious, spicy bite. The feta cheese and gorgonzola dressing balance out the spiciness of the mozzarella perfectly. 

La Mortazza: Peppers and onions are like the peanut butter and jelly of pizza toppings. This pizza is topped with tomato sauce, mortadella, vinegar peppers, onions, mozzarella and brie cheese. The brie is a great choice for this pizza because the creaminess of the cheese balanced out the tartness of the vinegar peppers. 

These are just a few of our mouth-watering specialty pizzas. And trust us, there is no shortage of cheese here at Mortadella head. Whether you prefer the classic pies, or like to live life on the edge, we have something to satisfy your taste buds. Comment below and let us know what your favorite cheese to put on a pizza is!
