Wine matching tips for pizza

Margarita: You can’t go wrong with this tried and tested classic. The Margarita’s appeal is in its simplicity, but why not add some sparkle to your dish and pair it with something really special? Try a quality English Sparkling wine – the creaminess of the drink will complement the mozzarella whilst still retaining enough acidity to match the tomato. We highly recommend the Classic Cuvée (£32), with its notes of toasted brioche and cream, from local Saffron Walden vineyard Saffron Grange. Available at SaffronGrange.com. Delivery is free to CB postcodes during self-isolation.

Meat Feast: This pizza is the ultimate in guilty-pleasure comfort food – tasty, filling and satisfying! If you’re going all out with your eat-in this week, do it right with a wine that will help cut through the fattiness of the meat and freshen up the palette. A wine with high acidity fits the bill. You can’t go wrong with Sharpham New Release, 2019, (£12.99) from the Sharpham vineyard in Devon – a wine bursting with stone fruit, plenty of acidity and a refreshing spritz.

Hawaiian: For many, this pizza is more Marmite than Marmite – a real love it or hate it affair! If you’re a fan, you need a wine that you love just as much. For a pairing that packs a punch, try something a little sweeter than usual to compliment the sweetness of the pineapple. Try a chilled glass of Trevibban Harlyn (£15.99), a fragrant off-dry white wine from Cornwall, with notes of peach and honey.
