Another thread got me wondering - how much cheese is everyone putting on their pizza? Here’s mine:
12" 4 oz
16" 7.5 oz
20" 12 oz
From what I gather, I’m a bit on the low side, but I seldom get complaints about it (1 or 2 a year) and it’s invariably because someone did not get the cheese far enough toward the outside edge of the pie.
The normal amount of cheese we put on our pizzas are:
12" 7oz
14" 10oz
16" 15oz
18’ 18oz
We cut back an ounce if it is a coupon, special or combination pizza.
If a pizza has extra cheese we put on an extra
12" 3oz
14" 4oz
16" 5oz
18" 6oz
I’m curious, too, about how much cheese people use.
We are at about:
12 7oz
14 9oz
16 12oz
12"—6oz
16"—10.5oz
18"—13.5oz
12"-8 OZ
14"-11 OZ
16"-15 OZ
8 ounces on 14" pizza,
other sizes, same amount per square inch.
…extra cheese, 50% more, ie 4 ounces more on the 14", proportionately the same on the others
…another consideration, the kind of cheese will make a significant difference…the same amount of a cheese that has lower moisture, no fillers(like in “pizza cheese”) and higher butterfat will seem like as much as 20% more, when using the some number of ounces…
whole milk vs part skim milk, different blends, etc
