cheese pizza

Mozzarella-topped flatbread

A pizza topped with cheese—typically mozzarella—and tomato sauce, without additional toppings.

It's the simplest and most basic pizza variety, often the default when ordering for groups or children: Let's just get a cheese pizza.

The term sometimes appears in internet contexts as a euphemism or code, though the food meaning dominates everyday usage.
