If it is a pizza, shouldnt the cheese be mozzarella? From a buffalo?

Maybe. The vegetarian pizza at college was a very mild, orange,
Cheddar-style mass-market cheese with peas and carrots.

Why on earth you expect frozen pizza to have mozzarella made from
buffalo milk?

I wasn't at a pizza joint. It was Newman's Own frozen store bought
frozen pizza. White pizza (with spinach) made with ricotta and (no
doubt) cow's milk mozzarella and parmesan. I added more cheese on top -
a blend of shredded cheeses which included more cow's milk cheeses:
mozz, provolone, parm, asiago, fontina and romano. A sprinkling of
Italian herb blend on top and into the oven it went. Quite tasty!

In Italy, it is one of the types of Mozzarella sold (not all are made
from water buffalo milk).

I'm sure Jill knows what buffalo mozz is. The question implied was
'why would you expect a higher quality product in a cheap frozen
pizza?'
BTW, you can buy buffalo mozz in the U.S.

Except I'm not in Italy, I've never been to Italy and have no plans to
go to Italy. It was a frozen store bought pizza. Sosume!

Traditional in Italy. Fresh mozzarella di bufala.

Granted, I've only had cow's milk fresh mozzarella, but I
consider it to be the tofu of the cheese world. Tasteless
on its own and woefully lacking in salt. It needs a lot of
help for me to consider it palatable.

I probably should try di bufala sometime.

It's traditional in SOME parts of Italy. But Italy in general uses
more fior di latte on pizza.

It is better, but still very mild and not salty at all. Great with
Caprese salad. It has a place and we enjoy it, but, don't compare it
with an aged cheddar or Gouda.

Okay, except I've never been to Italy so I don't expect a frozen store
bought pizza to be topped with buffalo milk mozz.

I've had cow's milk fresh mozz, can't remember the brand. It was tangy
and tasty, not particularly salty. I occasionally buy it in slices to
add to chicken parm or similar dishes.

The shredded cheese I added to the pizza was a combination of (cow's
milk) mozzarella, asiago, parmesan and a couple of other white cheeses.
What can I say? I wasn't going to use expensive cheeses to trick out a
store bought frozen pizza.

I snipped too early and forgot to agree with you on that one. Whole
milk mozzarella is the best of the 3 common ones here (part skim,
fresh, and whole milk), but I still use mostly provolone on my
pizzas, along with a little asiago and peckerino romano. American
meunster is also good on pizza (German meunster is a whole different
thing).

I think he was expecting some sort of plastic cheese food product.
There's absolutely no reason for anyone in the US to expect buffalo
mozzarella on a frozen store bought pizza.

Michigan. And of course the peas and carrots had been frozen. I'm
surprised that corn and lima beans were absent.

After all that time in the oven (thick crust), the peas were absolutely
wizened.

"Double sweet Italian sausage"? It looks like there are two pizza
places in the world that use this term, one on Lung Island, the
other in Orlando.

There is no such thing as "Double sweet Italian sausage" and
anybody using that term doesn't know what "sweet" means when
referencing savory Italian foods. "Sweet" means very mild, not very
spicy, and not piquant. So "Double sweet" would mean no spices at
all, making "double sweet Italian sausage" the equivalent of ground
pork, and an oxymoron.

double as in amount. like double mushrooms,
double onions, double cheese...

there are many kinds of sweet italian sausage and
some of them i've had are indeed sweet (from fennel
or anise or the liquors from such or ...).

i still wish i could find the recipe for the one
from up north that i've not been able to figure out.
the place is now out of business.

I've never heard anyone order "double" anything on a pizza. 99.999%
of people use the term "extra".

I think you're trying to weasel out of your brain fart.

i really like strong fennel or anise flavors.
one reason i dislike many pre-made sausages is
that they wimp out on spices. the one i recall
so fondly is very strong garlic flavor along
with the spices. it stands up well to saurkraut
or pretty much anything with it.

I figured it meant "twice as much sweet Italian sausage as usual".

We've often ordered "double pepperoni" pizza.

If it's a pizza from the supermarket, you'd be happy if the cheese
came from a cow. You'd even be happy if it was cheese.

I looked up this particular flavor pizza ingredient list and it does indeed have
low-moisture mozzarella cheese (pasteurized whole milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes).

If it is a pizza, shouldnt the cheese be mozzarella? From a buffalo?

I have no choice, because my stomach stages an excruciatingly painful protest
if I eat cheese (or anything dairy in more than minute quantity) from cows. I
know I am a bit obsessive about these things but believe me, dairy intestinal
intolerance is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

For some reason, proper buffalo cheese is ok; and a small amount of very mild
cheddar can be ok as long as it is thoroughly cooked.

Waitrose do some decent fresh pizzas which rarely have any effect, but
cheaper outlets (Iceland in particular) seem to add a processed "cheese
which appears to be all manner of milk solids, chemicals and other colouring
nonsense; which is dried and then grated to look like the real thing. I had
one of my worst nights after eating one of their pizzas.

The problem for me is that I really like pizzas.

Yes, I make my own but need the mozzarella to put on it, but my wife buys the
cheese and she likes really strong mature stuff so that I have to remember to
buy the buffalo cheese myself.

It is more convenient to get one already prepared.

Yes I can see that, but you could buy you own if you wanted !

However, I expect If that you could choose your own it would be better

It might be psychological but I have no evidence for that.

If I eat food containing fresh cream or uncooked butter, I get the problem
even though I didnt realise the ingredients were there.

Cooking the dairy product seems to cure most of my cramps, etc.Why this is I
dont know.

It was dairy, just cheap dairy disguised to look more expensive.
