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!
