Shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese pizza baked crisp on stone deck hearths.
The cheese pizza at Original Gino's Pizza is the benchmark for our deck ovens. We spread unheated California tomato sauce over cold-fermented scratch dough and layer solid-block Wisconsin whole-milk mozzarella shredded daily on Monroe Street.
Product Specification
Shredding block cheese every dawn instead of buying bagged starch shreds
Most commercial pizzerias buy shredded mozzarella in forty-pound poly bags coated with powdered cellulose and potato starch to prevent clumping. Starch prevents cheese from fusing into a creamy, cohesive melt and leaves a plastic-like film on the roof of your mouth. At Original Gino's Pizza, we receive refrigerated twenty-pound solid blocks of whole-milk mozzarella from Wisconsin dairies. Every morning, our prep team feeds those chilled blocks through a commercial rotary shredder.
Because our cheese contains zero cellulose, it melts fluidly over the tomato sauce, browning into tender golden blisters without separating into clear grease puddles. Combined with our eighteen-hour cold ferment crust, the slice holds straight when lifted from the box.
Selecting crust options and pricing factors for individual cheese pies
You can order our cheese pizza on either our thin rolled tavern crust or our thick deck crust. The ten-inch thin crust is 7.44 USD. The twelve-inch is 9.95 USD. The fourteen-inch is 13.10 USD. The sixteen-inch large cheese pizza is 16.20 USD. If you request extra cheese, our bakers add four ounces of shredded curd for an additional modest charge included in your quote.
We do not sell pre-baked cheese slices that sit under heat lamps for three hours. Every cheese pizza is stretched, sauced, cheesed, and baked from scratch when your ticket prints at our Monroe Street station.
