Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, Shiraz

Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, and Shiraz are my top picks for Pizza. The best wine for pizza depends on the toppings! Red sauce pizza will call for a red wine with some acidity, such as a barberan or sangiovese. Add pepperoni or sausage and you can go bolder with a syrah. One wine you could try is Badian a Coltibuono Cultusboni RS Chianti Classico ( half-bottle). It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 11 dollars.
