  • 180 gMozzarella, torn
  • 90 gGorgonzola, crumbled
  • 120 gFontina, diced
  • 50 gParmigiano, grated
  • 15 gOlive oil

Equipment

oven, knife, grater, cutting board, rolling pin, baking sheet, parchment paper, oven mitts, small bowl, pastry brush, spoon, pizza cutter

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients

    Gather pizza dough, cheeses, olive oil, a scale, knife, grater, board, rolling pin, baking sheet, parchment, and oven mitts. · 5 min

    What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools ready on the work surface

  2. Heat Oven

    Heat the oven to 204°C / 400°F with a baking sheet inside so the dough meets strong bottom heat for a crisp base. · 15 min

    What to look for: Oven fully heated and baking sheet hot

  3. Prepare Cheese

    Grate the Parmigiano, dice the fontina, tear the mozzarella, and crumble the gorgonzola into separate bowls for even topping. · 6 min

    What to look for: Cheeses are separated into small even pieces

  4. Shape Dough

    Stretch the pizza dough on parchment into a thin round about 30 cm wide, leaving a slightly thicker rim to hold the melted cheese. · 5 min

    What to look for: Thin center with a raised edge

  5. Oil Base

    Brush the dough with olive oil, then scatter mozzarella and fontina across the center while keeping the rim mostly bare. · 3 min

    What to look for: Dough surface lightly glossy with cheese spread evenly

  6. Add Strong Cheese

    Add gorgonzola in small pieces and finish with Parmigiano so every slice gets creamy, sharp, and nutty cheese. · 2 min

    What to look for: Blue cheese and grated cheese are evenly dotted over the pizza

  7. Bake Pizza

    Bake on the hot sheet for 12 to 14 minutes until the rim is browned, the base is crisp, and the cheeses bubble together. · 14 min

    What to look for: Golden rim, bubbling cheese, and crisp underside

  8. Serve Hot

    Serve immediately, slicing while the cheese is molten and the crust still crackles for the classic bianca style. · 2 min

    What to look for: Cheese flows slightly when sliced

Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 3 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 2 months
  • Reheat slices on a hot tray at 204°C / 400°F until the base crisps and the cheese melts again.

Ingredient substitutions

Mozzarella

  • Fontina: Use only if mozzarella is unavailable, though the pizza will be less milky and stretchy.

Gorgonzola

  • Parmigiano: This keeps the recipe within the traditional cheese set but removes the blue cheese sharpness.

Fontina

  • Mozzarella: The pizza will be milder and stretchier, with less buttery depth.

Parmigiano

  • Gorgonzola: Use sparingly because the flavor becomes sharper and less nutty.

Olive oil

  • Butter: Melt before brushing and expect a richer dairy aroma.
