Pizza from RENO NV yukkkkkkk Cheddar Cheese yukkkk

[johnnytuinals]

I am just thinking when I was in Reno a few years ago I felt like a pizza/
Went to a few local places that sell pizza and buy looking at the pizza,I
had to walk away many of times.(Even Dominos}
All the places that sell pizza looked like they added lots of cheddar chesse
to their pies...
I never knew Reno was a place that added Cheddar to their pizza,,,yukkkkkkk.............JT

Yes, for a dyed in the wool, authentic NY style pizza lover, cheddar is a bit of an abomination.  As you leave NY, it does seem to have a large following, though, even as close as the Jersey shore.  For instance, if you look at the NJ Boardwalk Pizza thread, you'll see that the popular boardwalk institution Mack and Manco uses cheddar.

As long as the pizzeria doesn't call themselves 'NY style,' I'm fine with it. Different strokes for different folks.

Same here, honestly (die hard NY style lover here).

Detroit style & Greek style both are baked in a pan, and both use white cheddar around the edges because cheddar stands up better there than mozzarella, and when browned, adds a nutty character that accentuates the taste of the pie that you can't get from mozzarella.

I've always used a cheddar / mozzarella mix on my pizzas. It's something I came up with myself and works very well, I think. Since discovering this forum, and now wanting to achieve  my own NY style I'm going to ditch the cheddar. For now anyway, who knows what will happen in the future as I experiment further.
