All about Wine and Pizza

Wine and Pizza can just be the perfect combination for any wine lover. After all, pizza goes well mostly with most common pizza toppings such as cold cuts and cheese.

Babble.com shared Wine and Pizza Pairings that their readers may want to try.

“Meat Lover’s & Cabernet Sauvignon: A rich meaty pizza topped with sausage, meatballs, and more can be just as heavy as beef stew. Rich foods deserve rich wines, which is why a high acid, high tannin cabernet sauvignon would be the best pairing with it. The bold, meaty flavors are well matched by the rich wine, featuring notes of dark red fruits; neither will overwhelm the other. Margherita & Pinot Grigio: Unlike basic cheese, this pizza is typically topped with smooth mozzarella and aromatic basil. A light pinot grigio is ideal for serving with this pizza flavor. The light herbaceous character will highlight the basil and not overwhelm the mozzarella.”

Perfect Combination

The website The Kitchn also has its own list of pizza and wine combos.

“Color decided, next thing to take into account is the fat in the melted cheese. To cut this, you need a wine with medium-high to high acidity. Then the tomatoes. Because tomatoes are high in acidity, you need a fairly high-acid wine. Avoid reds that are high in tannin, as the combination of the tomato flavor and lots of tannin can be quite metallic. I also like the wine to have plenty of juicy fruit flavors, as well as a savory/earthy dimension, to help bring out the flavors not just in the toppings but also from the crispy dough base.”

Pizza is just so great with wines, that even a wholesome kiddie place is already starting to include it in their Adult Menu to encourage more and more parents to accompany their children to their outlet as per Time.com.

“While no specific announcements have been made concerning new additions to the beer and wine menu, almost any changes would represent an improvement. For now, in Chuck E. Cheeses that offer alcohol—not all do—the options are generally limited to a couple of beers (typically Miller Lite and Miller Genuine Draft, priced at $2.99 for Regular and $3.99 for Large) and either Blush or Chablis ($4.99). All are poured out of taps into plastic cups, and there’s a two-drink limit.”
