The Best Wine With Pizza: Our Favorite Wine And Pizza Pairings
Looking for the best wine with pizza? You don’t have to guess. At Bucceto’s, we’ve perfectly curated our wine list to pair with our pizzas, no sommelier needed. Whether you’re team red, white, or bubbly, here are some pizza perfect matches for our wine list.
What Pizza To Pair With Red Wine?
Red wines are bold and rich and perfect to pair with our heartier, flavor-packed pies. Here’s what to order with your red:
- Cono Sur Bicicleta Merlot: Smooth and fruity with a soft finish, this Merlot pairs beautifully with the Giacomo. The earthy mushrooms and bold sausage echo the wine’s subtle spice, while the green peppers add a little brightness to match the berry notes.
- Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon: Big, bold, and unapologetically juicy. A favorite Cab calls for the Ultimate Warrior. All that pepperoni, sausage, and veg? It holds up to the Cab’s deep tannins and brings out the best in its dark fruit flavors.
- Ricasoli Chianti: A Tuscan classic with cherry and rustic herb notes, Chianti was practically born to go with Bill (formerly known as Steve). The Italian sausage, bell peppers, and herb trio of thyme, oregano, and parsley lock in perfectly with this structured, food-loving wine.
- 10 Span Pinot Noir: Light, bright, and a little wild, this Pinot Noir finds balance with the Campfire. Smoked sausage and sweet onion marmalade meet the wine’s cherry-fruit core, while gorgonzola and rosemary play with its earthier side.
Remember, with reds you want to go as bold in flavor as in richness of color, and you can never go wrong.
What Pizza To Pair With White Wine?
White wine is crisp, refreshing, and pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses, seafood, and bright veggies. Here’s what to order with our white wines:
- Lohr Chardonnay: Rich, creamy, and just oaky enough, this Chardonnay vibes with the Twice Baked. Smoked Gouda and buttermilk herb dressing coat your palate in all the right ways, while green onions and bacon keep it grounded.
- Marlborough Estate Sauvignon Blanc: Bright, grassy, and zingy, this Sauvignon Blanc plays well with the Shrimp Santori. The chili oil, fresh basil, and sun-dried tomato ride the wine’s citrusy zip, with shrimp as the perfect protein match.
- Filadonna Pinot Grigio: Crisp and clean with light floral notes, Pinot Grigio makes an ideal match for Zorba the Pizza. Feta, spinach, and red onions mirror the wine’s minerality, while the olives bring a salty kick to round it out.
When you want something lighter but still full of flavor, white wine and pizza are always the perfect duo.
What Pizza To Pair With Sparkling And Rosé Wines?
If you love bubbles or blush, sparkling and rosé wines are perfect to pair with pizza. They’re light, lively, and go great with bold toppings. Here’s what to order:
- Movendo Moscato: Sweet and bubbly, Movendo Moscato goes beautifully with the Sweet Lil’ Razorback. Its pepperoni, smoked sausage, and basil deliver spicy-sweet harmony, with Moscato cooling it all down like a peachy fire extinguisher.
- Maschio Prosecco: Light, dry, and effervescent, Prosecco pairs beautifully with the Panama Red. Shrimp and pesto dance with the bubbles, and red bell peppers and jack cheese keep things bright and balanced.
From sweet and spicy combos to herb-packed pies, these sparkling and rosé pairings make a strong argument that fizzy wine might just be the best wine with pizza.
