Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Pizza works really well with Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine. 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. You could try Casteller Cava Rosado. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
