Meat after mozzarella pizza

Question

After eating pizza made with mozzarella cheese, does one need to wait several hours?
Whether the cheese has had time to harden or it is still soft and hot?
Thank you very much.

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

Mozzarella is not considered hard (yellow) cheese, but only an imitation of it.

Therefore, there is no need to wait 6 hours after eating it, whether it is soft or has hardened.
