Combine mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, and goat cheese for a creamy, tangy flavor. Add a variety of tomatoes, like heirloom slices, sun-dried tomatoes, and grape tomatoes, for a layered tomato experience.
Top your deep-dish pizza with alternating slices of fresh mozzarella and beefsteak tomatoes. Add a splash of balsamic glaze and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper for a Caprese-style upgrade.
