Pizza cheese can refer to a pasteurized processed cheese food designed to melt well on pizza while remaining chewy. It is sometimes used on commercially produced pizzas in North America. Pizza cheese is formulated so that it can be made with basic cheese making equipment but without the additional equipment and processing that Mozzarella cheese requires. It has a soft texture, and once melted, it typically has a slightly ‘stringy’ quality when pulled or bitten into.

"Pizza cheese" can also refer to low-moisture mozzarella cheese that is made specifically for use on pizza.

"Pizza cheese" may also be used as a name for snack cheeses with added vegetable ingredients such as tomato or bell pepper, herbs, and natural or artificial concentrated flavorings that attempt to replicate some of the flavors of a pizza.
