I found myself wondering just how common this could be, then realized my favorite pizza is a cheese pizza, if not the version you’d think of first.
A super-thin spread of basil pesto topped with a smattering of feta and finished off with red pepper flakes is divine. On a thin crust it’s my absolute favorite. Simple, and the flavors shine.

I can’t afford toppings
You gotta wonder at the headspace of someone downvoting such a comment.
It’s just easiest. I don’t like pepperoni, or bacon, or sausage. Don’t like olives or banana peppers or jalapeños. Mushrooms are disgusting. Cheese is just easiest to order from most pizza places.
There are things I like on pizza. If we go to a place like MOD, I’ll get chicken, spinach, roasted garlic, corn, broccoli, red onion, balsamic glaze, ricotta… my pizzas get pretty heavy there.
But at most pizza places, especially with other people, it’s just easy to get cheese.
It was kind of the default in my family growing up. And the pizza there was new York style, thin crust.
Since then I’ve gotten more in the habit of toppings and only occasionally get a simple cheese. A really well made cheese pizza is thing of beauty, there is a certain quality you get from it that is lost when you as toppings. The thing is, though, it has to be just right, and lots of places that make a good pizza with toppings don’t know how to make a really good cheese pizza, so to be worth ordering one, it has to be from the right place, made on a good night. IMO its got to be a thin ny style crust with a really good sauce.
I’ll branch out every now and then, especially if I’m sharing the pie, but I’ve always preferred a cheese pizza.
On a side note, as a small kid, Home Alone normalized and made me not feel ashamed for being so “basic” in my plain-cheese tastes.
Also, vanilla icecream is the best.
Does quattro formaggi count?
I would say so
What the hell is a cheese pizza?
Also, I feel this post is heavily US-centered, and not marked as such
What is cheese pizza? As opposed to… pizza with no cheese? Don’t pizzas usually have cheese?
Out of curiousity, where are you from?
