Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine are great choices for Margherita 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 Giacomo Mori Chianti with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
