Four Cheese Pizza has an infused garlic oil for the “sauce” and is topped with four cheeses (I’m guessing you already knew that from the recipe title).
Yesterday I posted a recipe for Pizza Dough and as promised I am back with a recipe to top that pizza dough with! I really like the cheese combination on this pizza. Of course there is mozzarella and parmesan, two cheeses I always use on my pizzas and I’ve added cheddar cheese and blue cheese.
If you’ve never tried blue cheese on a pizza, I urge you to try it. My husband, Mr. B and I love blue cheese on pizzas. I will warn you though, you don’t want to use too much blue cheese or it will over power the other cheeses. My recipe calls for 1/2 of cup and that is plenty.
I think you will also like the garlic infused olive oil I use in place of pizza sauce. The garlic really shines through on this pizza and goes well with the strong flavors of the cheese. Of course, you can use pizza sauce if you like, the pizza will be good with either sauce.

Here is the pizza fresh out of the oven.

I like how thin the crust is.
