If you love your grapes, you simply must drink wine with pizza; however, you also need to match the right wines with the right pizza. Learning to do this can be quite fun.
While there is no "right or wrong" wine with pizza, as there is no right and wrong in pairing wines with fish, you will do better by following some guidelines. Also, there are a boatload of wines, which might make the task of choosing the right one a little daunting. Fortunately, there are fewer varieties of pizzas than there are wines, so choose the pizza first and then find a wine to match.
Remember: Light wines should be chosen for light food and heavier wines for heavier food. Foods like soup and other light dishes would go well with light wines. More often white wine would be an appropriate choice. Stronger foods with fuller flavors go best with stronger wines.
Generally, Italian reds such as Valpolicella or Chianti go well with pizza. Sangiovese is a great choice as is Zinfandel.
Cheese Pizza: Cheese pizzas are a basic type of pizza and are much more versatile than the rest. Those who prefer white wines can go with a full-bodied Chardonnay, as it would go well with the flavor of cheese. It is also an ideal choice for bread and tomato sauce that accompany the pizza. Those who are fond of red can go for Sangiovese or Chianti Classico which are also great matches for a cheese pizza and generally preferred as most pizzas that have a red sauce base demand a red wine whereas, a while sauced base pizza commands white.
Meat Pizzas: Meat pizzas have a full bodied taste and require a stronger wine. Pizzas with ham are an exception. A stronger flavor like Syrah or a Zinfandel would be a good choice with most meat pizzas.
Hawaiian Pizza: Hawaiian Pizzas are much sweeter than are most other pizzas and would normally require a sweeter wine. A Riesling would therefore be a good choice to go along with a Hawaiian pizza. Alternatives would be light-bodied Beaujolais or a Sauvignon Blanc.
Vegetarian Pizza: The flavors in Vegetarian Pizzas are not as strong as the ones in most meat pizzas. Therefore, a vegetarian pizza would go well with something that does not overpower its mild flavors. A delicate and mild wine like Pinot Noir would therefore be a great choice for a veggie pizza, as it will draw out the sauce's flavor well.
