You may pair the classic Margherita pizza with a Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre blend or a dry rose. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay work nicely with a mushroom, chicken, and white sauce-based pizza topping. Sauvignon Blanc is a good bet with a salad topping based or any meaty pizza as it lends a refreshing tart acidity in each sip. Zinfandel is a versatile wine that goes fine with all kinds of pizza. The classic pairing of Chianti with any vegetarian pizza is also a divine combination. Beaujolais cru can be paired with any vegetable, potato, or mushroom pizza. Riesling can be served with pineapple or slightly sweet pizza.

Cheese is definitely one of the most important toppings to any pizza, and which cheese you select may also impact your wine selection. Freshly grated cheese is definitely the best option, but if you want to save time, store-bought shredded cheese will work fine as well.  If you are in need of a new cheese grater for making your favorite pizzas, here is a great read on the latest and most effective cheese graters available on the market from The Daring Kitchen blog.
