pizza

Pizza may seem like it is a reasonably straightforward meal consisting of bread, sauce, and cheese. However, variations in the flavor profile of a pizza can affect the wine that would best accompany the dish. When choosing a wine that pairs with pizza, people tend to reach for hearty reds. This would be a good choice for classic pizzas, but what about lighter pizzas such as a white or Margherita style pizza?

To help you find the wine that will pair with your pizza appropriately, it is best to break down pizzas into categories. This way, we can identify the wines that would be best suited to accompany the ingredients most commonly used to make these recipes.

Margherita Pizzas

Margherita pizzas are all about basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes. It is a simple recipe, but the flavor that results from these three ingredients is spectacular. A Margherita pizza is typically lighter than a traditional pizza; it is not uncommon for them to be served on a thin crust or flatbread.
