The right drink transforms a pizza meal into a complete experience. Here are pairings that work beautifully with our Chicago thin-crust.
Beer Pairings
Pizza and beer is a classic combination, but not all beers pair equally well. A crisp lager or pilsner is the safest choice for any pizza. The carbonation cuts through the richness of cheese and the light body does not compete with the food. For pepperoni or sausage pizza, an amber ale adds malty sweetness that complements the spiced meat. For veggie pizzas, a wheat beer or pale ale provides a refreshing contrast.
Wine Pairings
Wine and pizza is an underrated combination. A medium-bodied red like Chianti or Sangiovese is the classic Italian pairing, with enough acidity to match the tomato sauce and enough body to stand up to cheese and meat toppings. For white wine lovers, a Pinot Grigio or Vermentino works well with lighter toppings. Sparkling wine or Prosecco is surprisingly excellent with any pizza because the bubbles cleanse the palate.
Soft Drink Pairings
Classic cola complements pizza's savory flavors with its sweetness and carbonation. Lemon-lime sodas provide a lighter, more refreshing option. Italian sodas with flavors like blood orange or lemon feel especially appropriate with our Chicago-inspired menu.
Other Options
Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon is a clean, refreshing choice that lets the pizza flavors shine. Iced tea, both sweet and unsweetened, is a popular option in South Florida that works well with any pizza.
