I got all caught up in the meltiness and random jibber jabber and never really talked about how good or bad they each tasted. At this point, so many years later, I'm still eating Daiya instead of TJ's, so that probably answers the question of which I liked better.

I found days to have a slimy texture. The TJ cheese stuck to our teeth & the top of our mouths. Tonight I used both cheeses mixed together on a penne & marinara dish. We liked the mix! We will do a pizza like this and see how it goes.

If you had a third section with normal cheese it would have bubbled, and "oozed" with how you cooked this. You completely over-baked/cooked this pizza. TJ cheese tastes WAY better than Daiya IMO. It didn't melt like the TJ cheese the right way just as normal cheese would have over melted.. if you baked this as you would a normal pizza, the TJ cheese would have been melted and tasted great.. and the Daiya would have been non-melted and more artificial. Daiya is good fresh, but when heated it can't compete because it doesn't melt like real cheese does and that, changes everything else you're cooking.
