Pizza and Wine: The Ultimate Comfort Combo

Pizza and Wine: The Ultimate Comfort Combo

Posted by Alex Adalin on

Alright, let’s talk about one of life’s simple joys: wine and pizza. We all know pizza is amazing on its own, but the right wine? Game changer. Think of it like finding that perfect playlist for a road trip—it just makes everything better.

Whether you’re all about classic flavors or love to mix things up, these organic and biodynamic wine and pizza pairings will take your pizza night to the next level. Let’s dig in!

 

Pepperoni Pizza & Marinara by Wonderwerk

Sauce may be one of the biggest things to consider when pairing wines with pizza. A tomato sauce-based pizza has a lot of acidity and does well when paired with a red wine that can match its acidity. 

A classic pepperoni pizza is bold, spicy, and cheesy—so you need a red wine that can keep up. Marinara by Wonderwerk, a juicy Italian-inspired blend of Montepulciano, Zinfandel, Barbera, Aglianico, Teroldego, and Grenache, is the perfect match.

It has just the right amount of acidity to cut through all that rich, meaty goodness, and its red fruit notes add an extra layer of flavor. If pepperoni is your go-to order, this organic and biodynamic wine is your soulmate.

 

White Pizza & Blanc Cubique Francois

Some nights, you just want to keep it simple. A White pizza is fresh, light, and all about balance. We love a white wine with zippy acidity that cuts the richness of fresh mozzarella, such as Blanc Cubique Francois from Les Vins Pirouettes. Also consider a richer white such as Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc to complement this style.

This organic wine's grippy tannins and citrusy, herbal notes provide the perfect contrast to the pizza’s gooey, cheesy goodness, while its crisp acidity keeps everything balanced. If you’re looking to elevate your white pizza experience, this natural, unfiltered orange wine is the way to go.

 

Mushroom & Truffle Pizza & Synergie Qvevri

This one’s for the fancy food lovers out there. A mushroom and truffle pizza is rich, earthy, and full of umami goodness, so it needs a wine that can keep up. Enter Synergie Qvevri, an orange wine made using natural winemaking processes in clay amphora.

Its textured, slightly funky character pairs beautifully with all those deep, savory flavors. This organic wine highlights the depth of natural winemaking and enhances the richness of the truffle.

 

Hawaiian Pizza & Juicy Fruit by Wonderwerk

Love it or hate it, Hawaiian pizza is here to stay. If you’re team pineapple, you NEED to try it with Juicy Fruit, a pét-nat natural wine by Wonderwerk.

This tropical, slightly bubbly sparkling wine is basically sunshine in a bottle, and it balances that salty-sweet combo of ham and pineapple perfectly. Made using organic and biodynamic grape growing practices, it’s refreshing, fun, and honestly just makes everything taste better.

 

Which Pairing Would You Choose?

So, what’s your vibe? Are you all about that sweet-savory pineapple life, a die-hard pepperoni fan, or someone who loves a classic cheese pizza? Maybe you’re into white pizza with creamy ricotta and garlic or a chicken pizza with bold flavors. And let’s not forget how well white wine can complement those lighter, creamier pizzas!
