Wine & Pizza

1 min read | article in Wines | 14 Jul 2025

Just like Kath & Kim, wine and pizza are an iconic duo.

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.

Margherita Pizza: Pinot Grigio, Rosé or Grenache

Hawaiian Pizza: Riesling or Fiano

Pepperoni Pizza: Sangiovese, Nero d’Avola or Shiraz

Garlic Prawn Pizza: Rosé, Fiano, Sauvignon Blanc

Truffle Mushroom Pizza: Pinot Noir or Grenache

Bianco Pizza: Sparkling, Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay

BBQ Chicken Pizza: Pinot Noir, Merlot or Rosé

Vegetarian Pizza: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Rosé

At the end of the day, food and wine pairing is all about personal preference. So next time you’re having a pizza night, experiment with different types of delicious Aussie wine and see what you like best!

So next time you're choosing a bottle, think Australian wine – because ‘We make a wine for that.’
