Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, Shiraz

Pizza works really well with Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, and Shiraz. 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 Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
