Why does my cheese has brown spots on it sometimes??

SirSilk:

Are you using deck ovens? I’ve been told by our founder that its an overabundance of oxygen going across the top of the pizza that makes the cheese brown. We only get brown spots on our pizzas in this scenario when we are overly busy and in/out of the ovens a lot.

Also, has your dough gotten colder? If I have to pull some cold dough out of the cooler it then takes longer to cook, which can also cause the cheese to brown. Maybe with the season change your kitchen is colder than normal?

Thanks for the reply. We have one deck oven and one rotary oven, both gas. We only make pizzas with room temp dough, not cold unless we get a un-expected hit. No matter what oven, what temp, what top heat setting and what temp of dough some of the cheese will brown and some wont EVEN if it comes out of the same bucket. So today I received 100 lbs of Grande to play with and so far NO browning at all! I made about 4 very well done pies today for customers and some very small spots of brown which is totally acceptable. I seriously think our cheese manufacturer of 25 years has changed quality
