The Making of a Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza

The Making of a Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza

Domino’s Pizza has propelled itself to worldwide fame and the adoration of many with such innovations as its thin crust pizzas, chicken Kickers, etc. The dominos menu has seldom ceased to amaze, and the Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza is no exception. The Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza has the unique distinction (even on the dominos pizza menu) of being one of the only pizzas to contain six different types of cheese. It is literally a cheese platter except with a delicious, hand-tossed crust instead of an actual platter. It includes mozzarella, feta, and provolone, Asiago, among others.

How is a Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza, the latest item on the dominos menu, made? First, the dough is shipped from the suppliers in blue trays which are left for a while to mature and to become easier to work. After a few hours of being “prepped,” the Domino’s Pizza chefs are ready to work their magic, in a process called “slapping.” This consists of taking the dough (which is in a half sphere shape at this point) and covering it in corn meal to prevent it from sticking to the clean, stainless steel pizza slapping counter, and then punching in the portion near the edge to create a crust using one’s fingers. Then the pizza chefs slowly knead the pizza dough and turn it into a flat crust.

It is then that the pizza chefs “sauce” the pizza using delicious pizza sauce created from high quality fresh tomatoes. They ladle it over the pizza and then let the ladle glide gently over the sauce, evenly distributing it in a spiral pattern all around the crust. However, at this point, the crust and sauce could become practically anything on the dominos menu.

The chef then takes handfuls of various cheeses, including mozzarella, provolone, feta, asiago, etc. He sprinkles them liberally all over the sauce. This is where the pizza differentiates into the Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza from the dominos pizza menu and ceases to be just an ordinary pizza from the dominos menu. Many of these cheeses are quite exotic — for example, asiago comes from a small town, population 6,500, in northern Italy near the Swiss border.

The intent of creating the Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza is to bring the wonderful dairy/cheese concept of Wisconsin to the dominos pizza menu. Wisconsin is famous for its cows and the high quality milk and cheese that they produce. These cows make milk that will be turned into Swiss cheese, American cheese, cheddar cheese, and many other types. The Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza is an excellent item on the dominos pizza menu for any cheese lover.

After adding the six delectable types of cheese to the pizza, the chef pops it into an oven that is between 400 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In the oven, the cheese melts, the crust becomes a wondrous golden brown, and the pizza becomes hot and ready to be consumed within about ten minutes. The Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza is an incredible example of the versatility of the dominos menu and will delight chee
