I thought of this question when a youtube vid about NY dollar slice (or $1.50 now) popped up and I was thinking I never ordered cheese pizza as a kid, bare minimum was pepperoni. In my later teens it was mushroom, then when I started making pizzas at home, I started appreciating a plain cheese pizza a lot more.
What is cheese pizza? As opposed to… pizza with no cheese? Don’t pizzas usually have cheese?
The antithesis of a cheese pizza is a pizza with toppings. It’s an idiom, so I wouldn’t recommend thinking too hard on it.
Ah ok, you mean a margherita pizza? I just didn’t know what the term referred to. I’ve not heard it called that before.
I think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.
I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/
But I’m not a pizza-ologist.
