I normally put the mozzarella in the freezer for half an hour, then grate it before topping on my pizzas.
Doing this produces a great melt when baking without the cheese burning.
I buy the 2.3kg block on Amazon for £21.53 and cut it into 10 separate blocks for storage.
This pizza was baked at 280°C for 7 minutes on an oven baking steel.

I concur on the Arla, it’s the best I’ve found. I use a lil mild cheddar (85/15ish) in conjunction for some extra sharpness. NY Style and selling 👊 I also don’t grate, I dice into very small cubes, which gives me a nice coverage and I can prep/store it better.
I can confirm this is the best option outside of USA. What most consider the best low moisture mozzarella maker, Grande, will not export and I have used Arla for ny style in europe, asia, and ME with very good results.
Great idea freezing the cheese bud!
This is today’s pizza pie winner for sure. That cheese looks amazing!
Perfection.
Looks amazing and crunchy nicely done.
Looks absolutely fantastic. I’d smash.
Nice looks awesome
What a perfect pizza
Looks great! What steel did you buy?
I’ve got an Ooni 16, but id really like to move to baking my NY pies on a household oven.
Do you think freezing it changes the texture at all? I’ve frozen chopped up pieces of a similar dry block mozz on part baked bases but it came out a bit weird in the oven
I’ve been using the mozzarella slices and then grating those- that works really well. Gets away from the coating on the pre grated stuff. Not tried the arla cheese.
Beautiful pie!
That looks pretty freaking delicious
Oh. Now this pizza is my favorite.
I also use this same block of mozzarella but if you have a Costco near to you, it’s almost half the price than what it’s sold for on Amazon
Bro! If you have a Costco nearby you can get the exact same product between £9-£13. Cheapest I ever got it for was £9 one day.
Agreed with you it is the best cheese I’ve come across in the UK for pizza. My only problem now is finding actually good pepperoni that cups and is thick. The supermarket stuff just isn’t doing it for me
omg freezing it first is such a game changer! i’ve been struggling with my cheese melting weird but never thought to chill it before grating.
Tell me about your dough, this looks fantastic
this looks phenomenal
