Cheddar can be good on pizza, but not aged cheddar. I tried a 5-year aged cheddar on pizza once and it was no good. Should have cut up the block and eaten it on crackers like usual. Even if you like aged cheddar, it doesn’t melt right on pizza. I’m guessing most cheddar in Europe is aged?
American cheddar isn’t always aged–in fact, you usually have to go to the specialty isle to find aged cheddar–and you can blend it in with mozzarella and parmesan and whatever else to get a good result.

Cheese curds, though, are amazing on pizza.
