Wine pairing with pizza is more of an art than a science.
What makes it difficult is that there are so many different styles of pizzas and the base ingredients such as cheese and toppings make each one unique. When you’re looking for the perfect wine to pair with your pizza, there are a few things to consider. For one, you want a wine that will complement the flavor of the pizza, not overpower it. You also want a wine that is light and refreshing, so it doesn’t conflict with the greasy, carb-heavy pizza.
