    It could be the cheese basically sealing in moisture from the sauce. Usually the cheese itself isn’t too wet, just oily, but if it completely covers a wet sauce and prevents that moisture from escaping, I think that would do it.

      That could be a factor as well. Keeping the moisture in would keep the crust from drying on top of the increase thermal mass of the cheese itself.
