How to Pair Pizza with the Perfect Beverage

 Pizza and beverages go hand in hand. But which drinks pair best with different types of pizza? Here’s a guide to elevate your next pizza night.

Classic Pairings

• Soda: The fizziness of soda cuts through the richness of cheese and meat toppings, making it a classic choice.

• Beer: A light lager complements cheesy, savory pizzas, while a darker ale pairs well with spicy or meaty options.

Wine Lovers

• Red Wine: A medium-bodied red like Merlot pairs beautifully with Margherita or pepperoni pizza.

• White Wine: A crisp white like Sauvignon Blanc enhances veggie or white pizzas.

Creative Options

• Iced Tea: A refreshing choice, especially with spicy pizzas.

• Cocktails: A margarita pairs well with Mexican-style pizzas, while a Negroni complements bold flavors.

Non-Alcoholic Options

• Sparkling Water: Cleanses the palate without adding extra sweetness.

• Juices: Apple or grape juice can be surprisingly delightful with certain toppings.
