I'm not sure what you mean about TVP, since TVP is vegan. Do you mean TVP-based products? I hear good things often about Morningstar Veggie Crumbles, which I think is TVP-based, but I haven't tried it myself.
As for cheese, Follow Your Heart is the best brand these days. IMHO, their mozzarella is tasteless and the cheddar has more of a mozzarella flavor than the mozzarella. For pizza, what I've found works best is using a mix of the cheddar and monterey jack, but I'll fall back on either if I don't feel like buying both. (And in practice, I rarely buy either, since I usually make my own sauce to go on pizza.) But it melts well into something that looks just right, for when that matters. I can dig up a photo or two of my pizzas if you'd like.
Sometimes I like Veganrella, but I adored their old version and have been kind of bitter about the switch, I confess. Vegi-Kaas was the best thing ever, but it hasn't been available anywhere I've checked (including wholesalers) for years now. The parent company went through some weirdness, I dunno.
I use Tofutti slices (mozzarella) on sandwiches. Convenient form factor and it melts nicely in the toaster oven. Tofutti cheese is also available in bag of shredded, though I've only ever actually found it that way once. If you live in a Jewish enough area, this might be your best bet.
I could go on about this at even greater length if you like, but it would help if you said more about what you're looking for.
