What cheeses are good on a pizza?

Use mozzarella cheese for a traditional pizza. Fresh mozzarella has a higher moisture content, so it doesn't keep as long in the refrigerator and it doesn't melt as well as standard mozzarella. Combine mozzarella with sharp cheddar for more tang and color. If you like smoky flavors, add a little gouda cheese. Add a little fresh-grated parmesan to your pizza after baking too.

What are some non-dairy alternatives to cow's milk?

Soy milk is similar in nutrition to cow's milk. Cow's milk has about eight grams of protein per serving, and soy milk contains about seven grams per serving. For plant-based milk with a pleasant flavor, shop for almond milk, coconut milk, or a blend of the two. Look for products fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Hemp milk contains calcium, vitamin D, and moderate protein levels. To tame the earthy flavor of hemp milk, serve it very cold and add a touch of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or pumpkin pie spice.
