Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine
Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine are great choices for Deep Dish 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. The Illuminati Zanna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
