Some people think cheese pizza is the safe, boring choice. At Mad Pizza, it is one of our proudest offerings.
The Test of Quality
Pizza industry insiders know that a cheese pizza is the truest test of a pizzeria. When there are no toppings to distract, you taste every element clearly: the crust, the sauce, and the cheese. If any one of these is subpar, there is nowhere to hide. A great cheese pizza means a great pizzeria.
Our Crust Shines
The crispy, cracker-like base of our Chicago thin-crust is on full display in a cheese pizza. You can hear the snap when you bite into it. The crust provides the perfect textural contrast to the smooth, melted mozzarella above. Without heavy toppings weighing it down, the crust achieves its maximum crispiness.
The Sauce Takes Center Stage
Our 4-generation sauce recipe is a star ingredient, not just a supporting player. On a cheese pizza, you taste the balance of tomato sweetness, herbal complexity, and gentle acidity. The sauce works in harmony with the cheese rather than competing with it.
Hand-Shredded Mozzarella at Its Best
Our hand-shredded mozzarella melts into a gorgeous, bubbly layer with golden-brown spots. Without toppings releasing moisture, the cheese melts more evenly and develops more browning. The result is a clean, rich, dairy-forward flavor with the perfect stretch.
Why Simplicity Works
In cooking, the simplest dishes are often the hardest to execute. A cheese pizza has three main components, and each must be perfect. This is why we invest in hand-shredding our mozzarella, making our sauce from a family recipe, and preparing fresh dough every day. The cheese pizza is proof that these investments matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cheese pizza a good test of a pizzeria?
Yes, pizza professionals consider cheese pizza the ultimate quality test. With no toppings to mask flaws, every component must be excellent. If a pizzeria makes a great cheese pizza, the rest of the menu is likely excellent too.
What cheese does Mad Pizza use on their cheese pizza?
Mad Pizza uses hand-shredded whole-milk mozzarella on our cheese pizza. We shred it fresh daily in our kitchen, which results in better melting and richer flavor compared to pre-shredded cheese.
How many calories are in a cheese pizza?
Calorie counts vary based on size and thickness. Chicago thin-crust cheese pizza generally has fewer calories per slice than thick-crust styles due to the thinner dough. Contact Mad Pizza at (754) 275-8466 for specific nutritional information.
