Good to know

Chef's tip

For an extra touch of freshness and color, add a few fresh basil leaves to your pizza just before serving. It brings not only a delicious aromatic flavor but also an appealing look to your four cheese pizza. Fresh herbs always add an extra dimension to an already delicious dish! 🌿🍕

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very well, up to 2 months. Freeze raw or cooked in individual portions. Wrap tightly.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Best eaten fresh. Reheating alters texture and flavor.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The dough and the tomato sauce can be made ahead. Store separately in a cool place.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 10-15 min at 180-200°C to bring back the crispness. Air fryer: 5-8 min at 160-180°C. Microwave not recommended (softens the dough).

Variations

Replace the gorgonzola with another blue cheese, or with Comté or raclette cheese.
Add a drizzle of honey after baking to contrast with the blue cheese.
Make a white version by replacing the tomato sauce with crème fraîche.

Mistakes to avoid

Baking in an oven that isn't hot enough: the pizza stays pale and soft. Preheat well to 220 °C, including the baking sheet or stone.
Overloading with tomato sauce: the dough gets soggy. Spread a thin layer, leaving a small border.
Rolling the dough too thick: it won't crisp up. Roll it thin on a lightly floured surface.

Frequently asked questions

Which cheeses go on a four cheese pizza?

This recipe combines mozzarella, goat cheese, Parmesan and gorgonzola. The mozzarella brings the melt, the goat cheese the tang, the gorgonzola the character and the Parmesan a salty, slightly crunchy note.

How do you get a crispy pizza crust?

Roll the dough thin and bake it on a very hot baking sheet or pizza stone in an oven preheated to 220 °C. Baking for 12 to 15 minutes gives a golden, crispy crust.

Can you use store-bought pizza dough?

Yes, store-bought dough works perfectly: just follow the package instructions for rolling it out. Roll it into a circle on a lightly floured surface, then add the toppings, leaving a small border around the edge.

How long do you bake a four cheese pizza?

Allow 12 to 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 220 °C. The pizza is ready when the crust is golden and crispy and the cheeses are melted and lightly browned. Let it cool for a moment before slicing.
