When you\u2019re in the mood for homemade pizza<\/a>\u2014but not looking to drop a lot of dough\u2014Trader Joe\u2019s is just the spot. We love farmstead cheese as much as you do, but when you need your dollar to go further,<\/span> it’s all about Trader Joe\u2019s. Paw through the weirder wedges and you\u2019ll find a selection of melty standbys so you can master the cheesiest homemade slice. Here are our faves for that sweet, sweet cheese <\/span>pull<\/span><\/a>. Happy National Pizza Day, curd lovers!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Low Moisture Whole Milk Mozzarella <\/b><\/h4>\n

Moisture is the bane of the home pizza<\/a> chef, so skip the sog by opting for a low-moisture mozz. Grated and sprinkled generously, this block will give you the classic stretchy slice, plus a neutral base for your favorite toppings. The price is right, and if you\u2019re making just one pie, you might even have extra for nomming as you prep.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. All Natural Fresh Mozzarella Cheese <\/b><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re making a classic Margherita<\/a>, this is your pick. This pudgy ball doesn\u2019t come packed in water or brine, cutting wetness so you can chomp on the crisp crust. Slice into rounds and top with fresh basil and enjoy a lush, creamy flavor that beautifully contrasts tangy tomato sauce. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio<\/b><\/h4>\n

Trader Joe\u2019s ultimate grating cheese is made in Italy and aged for three years, giving it a rich, savory oomph that\u2019ll add that final pizzazz to your pie. To keep costs low, remember you\u2019re using this to finish, so no need for a huge wedge. Pairs easily with… well, everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Fontina<\/b><\/h4>\n

A popular pick for gooey cheese <\/span>dips<\/span>, fontina melts like a dream. Straight out of Wisconsin, Trader Joe\u2019s version is mild, milky, and just right with garlicky white sauce. On a pie, pair with mushrooms and caramelized onions or use it to balance salty prosciutto and peppery arugula. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Asiago<\/b><\/h4>\n

This firm wedge is punched up by a slight tang and a pleasant nuttiness. This version isn\u2019t too aged\u2014giving it a meltability that rounds out roasted vegetable pizza but without being overly rich. It\u2019s perfect with roasted red peppers and dash of chili flakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Silver Goat Chevre<\/b><\/h4>\n

This smooth goat cheese log is best when dolloped intermittently across your pie for exciting bites of creamy chevre. With an accessible tang with notes of citrus, it\u2019s great as a foil for sweet toppings like <\/span>figs and caramelized onions<\/span><\/a>, plus some bacon for a meaty crunch.<\/span><\/p>\n
