You could make one at home pretty easy, I reckon. Grab yourself a good quality cheese pizza, and toss the stuff on yourself, maybe.

That's kind of what I'm seeing as a best option. Looking at the menu, Belmont can bake up a meatball, french fry, and tomato pie, and you can probably get them to use cheddar cheese. Sprinkle it with shredded lettuce and some pickles. Probably going to have to make your own sauce to add later, though.

American cheese on the Big Mac, not cheddar. I used to go to a place that did a cheeseburger pie, and they threw American under the mozzarella and it was pretty great.

Also a lot of the places that do meatball add fennel and other seasonings to them that can throw off the taste. I would just make one at home that skipped the tomato sauce and use 1k island instead, with a little higher ratio of low sugar ketchup.

I couldn't bear to type out "american cheese" as a pizza topping, but if you say it works, I'll take your word for it!

I've seen a bunch of places offer plain ground beef as a topping, but Belmont was the only one that came up in my cursory search that offered french fries.

You def have to mix it with another cheese, but it adds a smooth texture that really meshes well with a lot of beef toppings. Mozz and American at like a 70/30 mix is pretty good for cheeseburger or cheesesteak pizza. Also goes well if you're using big slices of tomatoes as topping. It just doesn't jive super well will marinara.
