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.
