Pizza Bianca (White Pizza) & Wine
Olive Oil, Ricotta, Truffle & Herbs
Pizza Bianca — white pizza — forgoes tomato sauce in favor of olive oil, ricotta, mozzarella, herbs, and often truffle. Without the tomato's acidity, white pizza calls for wines that can match the creamy, rich, herbal character directly.
Best Wine Pairings
Soave's almond, citrus, and mineral notes are a natural companion for white pizza's creamy ricotta and olive oil base.
Herbal, mineral, and slightly bitter — Vermentino's complexity matches the olive oil and herb character of white pizza.
For truffle pizza bianca, the hazelnut and mineral complexity of a Puligny-Montrachet is transcendent.
If you want red with white pizza, the delicate, herbal Alsatian Pinot Noir is the gentlest possible match.
