cheese combination for all cheese pizza

I love a good cheese pizza, sometimes it is more satisfying than one with lots of ingredients on it. I had a cheese pizza at a local pizza place that has a four cheese pizza: blue cheese, parmesan, smoked mozzerella and fontina. I'd love to recreate it or use another combination. My issue though is the correct balance of cheeses. I am open to all suggestions. With or without tomato sauce is ok.

    i like good ricotta with smoked mozz and grated romano. chopped garlic and diced pepperoncini. no red sauce. plenty of cracked pepper and red pepper flakes when it comes out.

      We like to use mozzarella, Parm, asiago & provolone. We also sometimes swap out the mozz for some fontina.

        for those 4 cheeses, just guessing and not based on practice, I would go 1/2 fontina, 1/4 smoked mozz, 1/8 parm, 1/8 blue.

        i think it'd be awesome, btw.

        one of my favorite pizzas when we make at home: olive oil, chopped garlic, mozz and blue cheese (love maytag for this). when it goes in the oven i put on raw walnut pieces (toasted ones would burn).. after it comes out I throw on fresh pears. A-to-the-Mazing.

          I like mozz, muenster, romano, and parm. Not earth-shaking, but satisfying.
