Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then with the remaining provolone, all the mozzarella, Bel Paese, and Gorgonzola, and half the Parmesan. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Bake until crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Scatter pine nuts evenly over surface. Bake until pine nuts and crust are browned, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and the parsley. Serve immediately.
