Welke wijn bij pizza? Rode en witte wijn die perfect passen

Pizza on the table, glass of wine to go with it—it couldn't be simpler. But what's the right pairing? Choosing a wine for your pizza depends primarily on the sauce and toppings. Tomato calls for fresh acidity, creamy pizza bianca prefers a round and refreshing finish, and spicy salami benefits from ripe fruit and a hint of spice. We've chosen five wines that always hit the mark: red wine with pizza in tomato sauce, white wine with seafood or cream pizza, and everything in between. Delicious, effortless, and exactly what you're looking for.


For diavola or salami: full, juicy and a touch spicy

This Zinfandel from Puglia (14%) is a full-bodied and rounded red wine with ripe blackberries, plums, and sweet cherries, rounded out with warm spices. It's just the kind of fruity power that spicy and savory pizzas demand. Think diavola, salami, or a BBQ version: the ripe fruit tempers the heat, while the spiciness complements the pepper and oregano. The soft texture embraces melted mozzarella and a crispy crust. Tip: Serve slightly chilled (16–17°C) for extra drinkability. A delicious wine with pizza when you want something richer.

Fresh and elegant with Margherita and pizza bianca

A refreshing and elegant white wine from Sicily (12%), made with a balanced blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. Awarded Gold at the 2024 Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge. The juicy citrus, peach nuances, and cool freshness allow the basil, tomato, and creamy mozzarella to shine. Perfect with Margherita, pizza bianca, or vegetable-rich toppings like zucchini and artichoke. The soft roundness of the Chardonnay provides comfort, while Pinot Grigio adds a crisp bite. An ideal white wine to pair with pizza if you want to keep it light, lively, and stylish.

All-round red for tomato sauce: smooth with a fresh bite

Montepulciano from Abruzzo, at 12.5% ​​ABV, is a fine all-rounder: juicy, medium body, mild tannins, and lively acidity. That's precisely why it works so well with tomato pizzas—from funghi to capricciosa or salsiccia. The freshness cuts through the sauce, while the red fruit and subtle spice enhance the heartiness of the mushrooms and sausage. Fantini stands for consistent quality; you get a glass that doesn't overpower, but elevates the flavor of your pizza. Serving suggestion: 15–16°C for a fresh, smooth mouthfeel.

Round and sun-ripe with meaty pizzas

This Puglian Primitivo (13%) from Casa Vinicola Natale Verga is generous and sun-ripe, with plum, black cherry, and a hint of spice. It's ideal with meaty pizzas like salsiccia, calzone with ground meat, or a "meat lover's" pizza. The ripe fruit complements the smoky and salty notes, while the round texture glides effortlessly through the cheese and crust. The slight sweetness makes spicy toppings more approachable. This is the red wine to choose with pizza if you're looking for comfort without the fuss. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) and let the oven do the work.

A salty and fresh match with tonno, pesto and frutti di mare

100% Vermentino from Sardinia (13%) with citrus, white blossom, and a minerally, slightly salty note. This Mediterranean profile is invaluable with tonno, seafood pizza, or pesto. The fresh acidity and subtle bitterness balance olive oil, garlic, and capers, while the minerality picks up the salty components. The result: a white wine with pizza that's sparkling, refreshing, and not heavy. Serve chilled (8–10°C) and you have a glass that lets the toppings sing—light, precise, and wonderfully thirst-quenching.

Did you know that tomato sauce is quite acidic, and that wines with fresh acidity (such as Montepulciano or Vermentino) therefore often go best with pizza?
