It’s January, it’s cold and miserable and you don’t feel like cooking tonight…
PIZZA night!
A pizza always hits the spot, but what to drink with it? Turn a simple Pizza night into a food and wine adventure with these fun pizza/wine pairing suggestions:
Margherita Pizza
Wine Pairing: Robust red from Puglia like Neprica (Tormaresca)
****
Pizza Bianca (White Pizza)
Wine Pairing: A big, buttery, wintery white from the Priorat region, like Mas d’ en Compte
****
Pizza Quatro Formaggi (Four cheeses)
Wine Pairing: Heavy, delicious white from Portugal’s unsung Alentejo region like Esporão Branco
****
Pizza with Anchovies
Wine Pairing: we love anchovy pizza with whites from Campania, especially Feudi di San Gregorio’s Falanghina
****
Pizza Capricciosa
Wine Pairing: an easy going Bordeaux like Château Teyssier, St Emilion.
****
Pizza Diavolo (with chili peppers/spicy salami)
Wine Pairing: a bright red from Italy’s beautiful Marche region like Moroder Rosso Conero
****
Pizza Funghi (with mushrooms)
Wine Pairing: Chianti would be perfect, something fabulous like Badia Passignano’s Riserva.
****
Pizza with Tonno (Tuna) and Olives
Wine Pairing: It has got to be from Sicily! Planeta’s La Segreta Rosso pairs well.

Do you have any other pizza/ wine pairing ideas to share?
Yummy, I think I will have a Margherita Pizza with Neprica
These look really yummy, and oh how I love wine! Thanks for the pairing, never would have known the proper match. Will enjoy trying this. Thanks
How I wish I have all those list of wine and have my pizza with them…
I don’t know what it is, but pairing pizza with wine is probably one of my top favorites. It’s always wonderful especially if the pizza is good, ingredients are fresh and the dough crunchy. A nice selection of wine allows the flavors to linger like a harmonious medley.
thank you for sharing,
Cheers,

Great wine selection ideas! Definitely would like to give these a try when we have our next Pizza Night!
Excellent wine pairings – I’ll be happy to use them and to pass this along. Thanks!
What a wonderful guide – thanks! Now I want some pizza!
Ah this is great to know!
This post made me completely hungry! I want them all.
Useful and interesting post!
I tried once to pair pizza with bier like in Italy, but I do prefer wine. Most of all, I like to pair pizza with bubbles, like Prosecco or Cava.
Those photos are just not fair! Pizza and wine are two of my favorite things in life, great post!
Oh, the pizzas look so delicious. Thanks so much for the wine pairings, all the more reason to have one of these delicious pizzas.
This sounds and looks soooo yummy! Makes pizza night more enjoyable with wine!
