But there’s an age-old question – does red or white wine pair better? Well, the answer lies in a pizza’s key ingredients.
White, Rosé & Light Red Wines
Pair better with simpler, lighter pizza toppings, like a margherita or Hawaiian, seafood pizza or pizza bianco
Bold Red Wines
Match well with big, robust, meaty flavours, like pepperoni, spicy sausage or a meatlovers pizza
You can absolutely go rogue and match whatever pizza you like with your wine, but here are some of our favourite matches.
