      Yes. Cheese can be overpowering for more subtle toppings, it’s also fairly high in salt. You don’t really notice the salt, unless you mix it with other topping that are also salty.

      BBQ sauce with jalapeno and nutritional yeast is pretty good. The nutritional yeast give that cheese-like funk without the salt combining with the jalapeno, or counteracting the sweet of the bbq sauce.

      Also, the cheese also ruins some flavours like kimchi, bruschetta, or chimichurri.

          A little spice, a little tang, a little vinegar, and a decent amount of garlic.

          If the sauce is a little on the sweet side, you have your major flavour profiles to balance against the starch of the bread. And any tomato sauce gives it a little bit of a holopchi vibe.
          It’s nearly perfection.

          Nutritional yeast is a flaky powder you sprinkle on after cooking, similar to another product of microbes often added to a cooked pizza; parmesan cheese.

      Plenty of them are, but of course depends on taste. One of the most common and classic pizza is without cheese (marinara). So plenty of people like it
