Which Italian pizza name means four cheeses?

The Italian pizza name that means “four cheeses” is quattro formaggi.

Usually written pizza quattro formaggi or pizza ai quattro formaggi, the name describes a pizza topped with four varieties of cheese. A commonly cited combination is mozzarella, Gorgonzola, fontina and Parmesan, although there is no single legally fixed recipe. Regional pizzerias may substitute cheeses such as pecorino, taleggio, Grana Padano, provolone or scamorza.

The pizza may be served rossa, with tomato sauce, or bianca, without tomato sauce. Mozzarella is often used as the base cheese because it melts well, while Gorgonzola contributes a pronounced blue-cheese flavor and the other cheeses provide sharper, nuttier or creamier notes.

A frequent mix-up is quattro stagioni, meaning “four seasons.” That pizza is divided into sections representing seasons and traditionally uses toppings such as artichokes, mushrooms, ham and olives. Marinara, by contrast, is traditionally a tomato, garlic, oregano and olive-oil pizza without cheese.
