Most Popular Game Day Pizza and Beer Pairings Fans Order Most

1. Pepperoni Pizza With a Crisp Lager Seasonal beer releases occasionally shift which pairings rise on this list, though the ten included here have remained consistently popular across multiple seasons of game day ordering data.

The single most ordered game day combination remains classic pepperoni paired with a light, crisp lager, valued for its reliability and the way the beer's carbonation cuts through the pizza's richness, a pairing that rarely disappoints even the most casual game day crowd. Staff report that first-time bar pizza customers often start with the classic pepperoni and lager combination before branching out to bolder pairings later in the season.

2. Buffalo Chicken Pizza With a Wheat Beer Several of these pairings began as informal staff recommendations before customer demand turned them into officially featured combinations on printed game day menus.

The tangy heat of buffalo chicken pizza pairs especially well with the smooth, slightly sweet profile of a wheat beer, a combination that has grown steadily in popularity among game day regulars looking for something with a bit more character than a standard lager. Order data shows that richer pairings like meat lovers with brown ale see stronger demand during colder months, while lighter combinations remain popular through warmer parts of the season.

3. Meat Lovers Pizza With a Brown Ale A number of locations now list these pairings directly on their menus rather than requiring customers to ask staff for a recommendation.

For fans wanting something heartier, a loaded meat lovers pizza paired with a malty brown ale has become a top choice, with the beer's caramel notes complementing the smoky, savory toppings in a way that feels satisfying through a long, drawn-out game. Fans looking to try several pairings in one visit often order two smaller pizzas alongside a beer flight featuring multiple tap selections.

4. BBQ Chicken Pizza With an IPA The ranking reflects ordering trends gathered across multiple Pisa Bar Kitchen locations and is updated as new seasonal beers and menu items are introduced.

The sweet and smoky flavor of barbecue chicken pizza pairs surprisingly well with the bitterness of a hoppy IPA, a combination fans say balances out the sauce's sweetness effectively, preventing the whole plate from feeling overly sugary after a few slices.

5. Margherita Pizza With a Pilsner

For lighter appetites, a classic margherita paired with a clean, crisp pilsner remains a consistently popular order, especially among fans looking for something simple between heavier snack rounds like wings or nachos that dominate most game day spreads.

6. Sausage and Pepper Pizza With an Amber Ale

The savory, slightly sweet combination of sausage and peppers pairs well with an amber ale's balanced malt profile, a pairing that has become a steady favorite at bar locations during football season, particularly on colder game days.

7. Four Cheese Pizza With a Stout

Rich, cheesy pizza paired with a dark stout has become a favorite among fans looking for a more indulgent combination, with the stout's roasted notes providing contrast against the pizza's creaminess in a way lighter beers simply cannot match.

8. Hawaiian Pizza With a Fruit-Forward Sour

A less traditional but growing pairing, Hawaiian pizza's sweetness works well against the tartness of a fruit-forward sour beer, a combination increasingly requested by fans looking to try something different from the usual lager and lager lineup.

9. Spicy Italian Pizza With a Red Ale

The heat from spicy Italian sausage and peppers pairs well with the malty sweetness of a red ale, helping balance the spice level while complementing the pizza's Italian-inspired seasoning throughout every bite of a shared pie.

10. Veggie Supreme Pizza With a Pale Ale

Rounding out the list, a loaded veggie supreme pizza paired with a balanced pale ale remains a popular choice among fans wanting a lighter but still flavorful option during long games that stretch well into the evening.
