Pizza

Pizza's combination of acidic tomato sauce, rich cheese, and various toppings creates a complex umami profile that pairs beautifully with medium-bodied, high-acid red wines that can cut through the fat while complementing the tomato sauce. The carbonation in beer helps cleanse the palate between bites, with styles that offer enough malt backbone to stand up to the savory elements while providing refreshing contrast.
