Easy Vegetarian Pizza + Suggested Wine Pairings
Pizza is global comfort food! It is synonymous with parties, fun times, and even fancy gourmet dining. No wonder there are tons of standalone pizza restaurants to cater to billions of pizza lovers all over the world.
With several toppings to choose from, pizza certainly is a unique dish that is common to many yet customizable to meet individual taste buds. Pizza parties are a great way to catch up with the people you enjoy and serving a good glass of wine will give everyone the perfect pairing.
We are serving up an easy vegetarian pizza today, but here are a few wine pairing suggestions to go with a variety of pizzas. For a complete guide on pairing wine with pizza, head here.
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.
But, the absolute best pizza and wine pairing is the one that you are serving right now 😉 And enjoy!
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.
The Daring Kitchen created this delicious and quick vegetarian pizza for us with a store-bought pre-made pizza crust, but feel free to make your own pizza dough, buy pizza dough at the market, or try my 2-ingredient WW pizza dough.
