Pizza night is always a good idea, especially when there's a great bottle of red wine on the table. Whether you're craving pepperoni, a classic Margherita, or something more unique, these red wines pair beautifully with your favorite slices.
Pepperoni Pizza with Chianti
If you're wondering what wine goes with pepperoni pizza, Chianti is one of the best choices. Its bright acidity and savory character balance the richness of the pepperoni while complementing the tomato sauce and mozzarella.
Our Pick: Lot 144 Chianti
Margherita Pizza with Montepulciano
For a fruit-forward red wine pairing, Montepulciano is an excellent choice with Margherita pizza. Its juicy fruit flavors and softer tannins complement creamy burrata, fresh basil, and tomato sauce without overpowering the delicate flavors.
Our Pick: Lot 188 Montepulciano
Mushroom Pizza with Pinot Noir
If you prefer a lighter-bodied red wine, Pinot Noir is another excellent pizza pairing, and pairs particularly well with mushroom pizza. Served slightly chilled, its bright red fruit flavors and silky texture play beautifully off the earthy, umami-rich mushrooms, bringing a fresh, vibrant contrast without overpowering the pizza's savory depth
Sausage Pizza with Syrah/Shiraz
Shiraz is a bold match for sausage pizza. Its blackberry and plum flavors, touched with smoke and spice, stand up to the richness of the sausage and cheese, bringing a robust, savory depth that matches the pizza bite for bite.
Our pick: Lot 212 Shiraz
Whether you're making homemade pizza or picking up your favorite takeout, the right bottle of wine can turn any pizza night into something special. Grab a bottle of Lot 144 Chianti, Lot 188 Montepulciano, Lot 212 Shiraz, or Lot 179 Pinot Noir, gather your friends and family around the table, and enjoy every slice!
