Depending upon how you like your pizza, there are a number of interesting wine-pairing options here. A plain cheese pizza will be nice with a moderately oaky Chardonnay, but to some this might prove overwhelmingly rich. Chianti is often an excellent choice, because its acidity cuts right through the fat and oil of the pizza. A pepperoni pizza requires a wine with a bit more heft to it; try a red Zinfandel from California. And for veggie-pizza lovers, there's always Sauvignon Blanc, a wine whose green-grass aromas and grapefruit-y flavors pair perfectly with the veggies atop the pizza.
