A Guide to Pairing Pizza with Drinks
A GUIDE TO PAIRING PIZZA WITH DRINKS
Whether you're into a classic Margherita or something savoury like Meat Lover's, every type of pizza deserves a drink that enhances its flavor profile.
Choosing the right beverage goes beyond just following trends; it's about creating a harmonious blend of tastes that elevates a simple slice into a culinary delight you'll crave repeatedly.
In this blog, discover perfect drink pairings for different pizzas that will enhance every bite and add an extra layer of flavor to your dining experience.
Margherita Pizza
Non Alcoholic Drinks: Go with a sparkling water infused with a splash of lemon or lime. It’s the perfect cleanser, adding a touch of zest to every bite.
Alcoholic Drinks: If you’re in the mood for something a bit different, try our Corte Giara (Pinot Grigio)—its lightness and minerality make for a refreshing contrast.
Funghi E Tartufo
Non-Alcoholic Drink: A sparkling apple juice brings a refreshing sweetness that contrasts nicely with the truffle’s earthiness, making each bite more vibrant.
Alcoholic Drink: Kura Kura Ipa Beer will perfectly balance the earthy richness of mushrooms. The tropical fruit with a subtle malt sweetness in the Kura Kura Ipa brings out the deep, umami flavors of the truffle. This combination offers a beautifully layered flavor experience! Chardonnay is also a good pair! The wine’s creamy texture and subtle oakiness complement the pizza.
Al Tonno
Non-Alcoholic Drink: Adding a touch of mint to lemonade provides a zesty and refreshing complement to the tuna, elevating the overall flavor profile.
Alcoholic Drinks: Consider pairing Villa da Vinci Streda (Vermentino) for their crisp acidity that contrasts with the richness of the tuna and complements the capers. Alternatively, a Pale Ale with its moderate bitterness and citrusy hints can enhance the tuna's freshness while balancing out the salty components.
Meat Lover
Non-Alcoholic Drink: A cola provides a sweet contrast to the savory meat flavors, creating a satisfying pairing.
Alcoholic Drinks: The Primitivo brings bold, fruity taste that complement rich tomato-based pizzas, while the Chianti offers a lighter, acidic touch that works well with cheesy or savory toppings. Both wines enhance the flavors in different ways, making them versatile choices for a variety of pizzas.
Mediterranea
Non-Alcoholic Drink: Mango Juice or Sparkling water infused with cucumber would be a great pair!
Alcoholic Drinks: Wheat Beer or Blonde Ale – Light beers that complement the pizza’s herbaceous flavors.
