I find that the wet mozzarella and the stuff you get grated in bags to almost be two completely different cheeses. They may taste similar or the same but when it comes to cooking you can't really substitute one for the other. No idea why the hard stuff isn't available as a block, and in fact until now it hadn't crossed my mind to question it.
Trying to find it on Google though I came across this. How good does it sound?! Quote:

you can buy this stuff... I used to buy it all the time ... until I found it was the cause of migraine headaches for me... Eat a lovely homemade pizza then 30 min later bang massive headache. Now have to use the other type and it makes my pizza so soggy
As I haven't purchased it in a while the packaging is different from what I remember but i think this is the stuff: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Produ.../?id=255087569 |

On the subject of pizza, try putting the cheese on the bottom & tomato sauce on the top instead.
I tried it tonight after seeing it on Man vs Food & it makes a pleasant change |

Waiter in Zizzi's arrived at our table with a block of mozzarella and a grater. I was so tempted to ask where they got their moz from!

They didn't, that was Grana Padano, a hard Italian cheese similar to Parmigiano Reggiano, in fact one of the oldest hard cheeses there are...

That's not what I was told, but that doesn't mean you are wrong.
