Mozzarella Cheese is the most common cheese for pizza. However, an amazing blend for pizza is provolone, cheddar, and parmesan cheese. I have also used monterey jack, and colby jack cheese as well.

As mentioned above, the key to this zucchini pizza crust recipe is to dry the shredded zucchini in the oven. The approximate time is 10 to 15 minutes, but can vary depending on your pan, your oven, even your zucchini. (It’s a similar process to roasting zucchini, but even faster.)

Make sure the crust is spread in a thin, even layer. It won’t cook through well enough if it’s too thick. Even worse, if the thickness isn’t uniform, you’ll end up with parts starting to burn while other areas are raw.
