Pizza is a crowd-favorite food neither kids nor adults can resist. You can make your slice taste even better when you know the perfect drink pairing for your favorite topping. Below are four popular pizza varieties and the best adult beverages to enjoy with them.

4 Perfect Pizza Drink Pairings

1. Pepperoni

If pepperoni pizza is your go-to, enjoy it with a robust, sparkling drink. Due to the spiciness of the pepperonis, you’ll want something bold to complement it. Experts recommend a sparkling Shiraz or Lambrusco. If wine isn’t your thing, try a cocktail that features soda as the mixer. A Cuba Libre, which includes Coke, rum, and lime, is a tasty companion to this meal.

2. Plain Cheese

Beer and pizza make up one of the greatest food pairings. If you prefer an all-cheese pizza, pair it with a light, German-style pilsner. The cheese has a heavy and dense flavor, so a lighter brew will provide balance.

3. Margherita 

Margherita pizza is an Italian classic showcasing fresh tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Pair it with something similarly herby, like an Italian Negroni. Made with Campari®, gin, and orange, this botanical drink complements the basil perfectly. If you prefer wine, choose a varietal from the same region where the tomatoes on your pie originate.

4. Hawaiian

If you have a Hawaiian-style pizza or one with a lot of pork, go for a drink that features pineapple. For example, try a pineapple Moscow Mule made with pineapple vodka, lime, mint, and ginger beer. Or, sip on a Jungle Bird cocktail, which includes pineapple juice, Campari, and blackstrap rum. While pineapple isn’t everyone’s favorite pizza topping, these drinks will satisfy everyone.
