Top 10 Pizza and Drink Combos Recommended by Pisa Bar Kitchen

After extensive tasting, Pisa Bar Kitchen presents the definitive top 10 pizza and drink combinations that we recommend unconditionally. These are tested, proven pairings that consistently deliver exceptional results.

One. Margherita + Italian Lager
The most reliable pairing in pizza history. Peroni, Moretti, or any quality Italian lager alongside a perfect Margherita is a combination that needs no improvement or innovation.

Two. Pepperoni + American IPA
The spice from pepperoni and the citrus bitterness from an American IPA is a combination that works on every level. Bold, satisfying, and widely accessible.

Three. Prosciutto and Arugula + Pinot Grigio
Delicate toppings deserve a delicate wine. A crisp, mineral Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige pairs perfectly with the salty prosciutto and peppery arugula without overwhelming either.

Four. BBQ Chicken + Dark Ale
The smoky sweetness of barbecue sauce finds a natural companion in a malty English-style dark ale. The caramel notes of both meet in the middle for a deeply satisfying combination.

Five. Four Cheese + Chianti Classico
Heavy cheese load meets a medium-bodied, acid-forward Chianti Classico. The Sangiovese grape's high acidity cuts through multiple cheeses while its earthy character complements the yeasty crust.

Six. Mushroom Truffle White + Burgundy Pinot Noir
The earthiness of truffle and mushroom meets its ideal companion in a Burgundian Pinot Noir. The wine's own earthy minerality amplifies the truffle while remaining light enough not to crush the white pizza base.

Seven. Clam Pizza + Muscadet
The oceanic brininess of clam pizza with a bone-dry, high-acid Muscadet from the Loire Valley is a textbook regional pairing. The wine tastes like it was made specifically for seafood pizza.

Eight. Spicy 'Nduja + Birra Moretti Baffo d'Oro
A golden lager with enough malt sweetness to moderate the fierce heat of 'nduja pizza. Accessible, delicious, and easy to find.

Nine. Hawaiian (Pineapple Ham) + Riesling
The controversial Hawaiian pizza finds its best pairing in an off-dry Riesling. The wine's residual sweetness harmonizes with pineapple while its acidity handles the ham salt.

Ten. Nutella Dessert Pizza + Espresso
No beverage companion surpasses espresso alongside a dessert pizza. The bitter intensity of properly extracted espresso balances the sweetness of Nutella and creates a satisfying end to any pizza meal.
