Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, Shiraz

Sangiovese, Barbera Wine, and Shiraz are great choices 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. You could try Badian a Coltibuono Cultusboni RS Chianti Classico ( half-bottle). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 11 dollars per bottle.
