Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup tomato sauce (optional or use white sauce for a richer flavor)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Process
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, allow it to preheat for 20 minutes.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce or white sauce over the pizza dough. If using tomato sauce, keep it light to let the cheeses shine.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and gorgonzola cheeses evenly over the pizza, ensuring every bite will have a delicious mix of all four.
- Season the pizza with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil to enhance the flavor.
- Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or arugula if desired. Slice and serve hot, enjoying the indulgent creamy goodness!
