You can take a look at some of the cheeses listed in table 4 of this reference that I commonly post:

Personally, I wonder if the amount of tyramine in mozzarella is being overstated because I have a reprint of the 1998 pizza study done by Drs. Shulman and Walker in Toronto (kindly sent to me by Dr. Shulman) that showed virtually no tyramine in Pizza Hut and Dominos pizzas with double cheese and double pepperoni. What they stress in the study, however, is that one may run into trouble with gourmet pizzas made with aged cheeses, and my opinion is that one should also be very careful with pepperoni (not that this point applies to your particular question).
