Non-Alcoholic Wines That Make Pizza a Sip-sational Treat

Non-alcoholic wines and pizza are a match made in culinary heaven.

In 2012, I launched the Kawartha Flavour Festival, a vibrant one-day event celebrating the best of local wine and food. This festival brought together an array of local vendors who showcased their finest culinary creations, expertly paired with wine samples. Among the highlights were unique offerings like smoked trout canapés, designed to complement the exquisite wines on display. The festival attracted over 5,000 visitors, eager to indulge in the flavors of our region.

However, I was surprised to discover that the more unconventional the food, the lower the sales. The standout in terms of revenue was a local pizza shop, which offered simple yet delicious ingredient combinations. Initially, this revelation puzzled me: why would attendees choose familiar foods like pizza at a wine festival, rather than exploring the unique culinary experiences available? This led me to a deeper understanding of human preferences—people often gravitate towards what they know.

Pizza embodies comfort food; it provides a sense of familiarity and assurance with every order. While I relish the opportunity to experiment with new flavors—except for jellyfish, of course—most individuals prefer the comfort of the familiar.This blog aims to bridge the gap between the known and the novel. By featuring beloved staples like pizza, I will also introduce innovative ingredient combinations that pair beautifully with non-alcoholic wine, inviting readers to embark on a culinary adventure that celebrates both tradition and creativity.

What Are the Top 10 Low-Carb Pizza Crust Options?

What Are The Most Popular Pizza Topping Combos?

The most googled pizza topping combos:  

Pepperoni and Cheese:

This classic combination remains the most popular, with pepperoni being the favorite topping for many. A survey indicated that 64% of respondents enjoy pepperoni on their pizzas, making it a staple in American pizza culture.  Both the pepperoni and cheese are fatty and so demand a red wine with some weight to match.  It’s challenging to find a NA red with loads of body.  The reason is that the element that normally provides the body, alcohol, has been removed.  So hunt for a smooth red that may be medium bodied, but with lots of fruit character and is easy in tannin and astringency. 

The reason is that heat and spice can make the tannin and astringency in a red taste more pronounced.  So rather than the wine cleaning your palate in between bits, a sip would accentuate the heat and spice.   That’s not putting your wine to good use.  If you cannot. find a smooth red, go for a white with some sweetness.  Sweetness offsets heat and and spice and will, with the help of the acidity, clean your palate between bites.  

Also if you’re focused on heart health, stay away from pepperoni.  Super high in saturated fat and sodium.  Go for turkey or chicken based versions.

Pepperoni and Sausage:

Another favorite is the combination of pepperoni and sausage, which appeals to meat lovers. This pairing offers a robust flavor profile that many find irresistible.  The same rules for pairing non alcoholic wine with these pizza toppings apply as those for pepperoni.  Go for as big a red as you can find.  And for your heart health opt for chicken sausage. 

Meat Lovers:

This option includes a variety of meats such as pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and ham, catering to those who prefer a hearty pizza experience.  Same non alcoholic wine pairing rules apply here as they do for #1.  And for heart health refrain from all this saturated fat.  

Margherita:

A classic choice for those watching their heart health!!  The Margherita pizza combines fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, (partly skimmed) and fresh basil, celebrated for its simplicity and flavor that reflects the colors of the Italian flag.  The fresh and acidic taste of fresh tomato sauce needs a red that’s just as acidic to match.  There’s only one in my books — Pinot Noir!

Hawaiian Pizza:

Did you know that Hawaiian Pizza was not invented in Hawaii?  In fact, this famous pizza combo was invented in the town that my husband was born and grew up in.  Chatham, Ontario!  Hawaiian pizza was invented in 1962 by Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-Canadian restaurateur, at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario. Panopoulos, who had immigrated to Canada in 1954, was inspired by the sweet and sour flavors of Chinese cuisine and decided to experiment with pizza toppings.

He opened a can of pineapple, drained it, and placed the fruit pieces on a pizza along with ham, creating what he called the “Hawaiian” pizza after the brand of canned pineapples he used. Initially met with skepticism, the unconventional topping combination gradually gained popularity among customers, eventually becoming a staple on the restaurant’s menu and sparking a global culinary debate that continues to this day.

This controversial combination features pineapple and ham, and while it garners mixed opinions, it is frequently searched for and ordered. Its unique sweet and savory blend has made it a notable choice in pizza topping discussions.

Which Wines Pair Best With Fruit Toppings?

These pizzas creatively combine fruits with complementary ingredients, offering a delightful mix of flavors and textures.

Balancing Sweetness: Fruit on Pizza and Wine Pairing:

When adding fruit to pizza, it’s important to consider how it affects both the dish and your wine pairing. While baking can reduce the fruit’s sweetness, it still introduces a sweet element that needs to be balanced with your beverage choice. Remember to choose a wine that has more sweetness than the sweetness in the pizza.  Since we’re living a low-carb lifestyle, refrain from non-alc wines with too much sugar.  Instead, choose a dry wine and add a pinch of monk fruit sweetener to the glass.  It works!  Makes the wine taste sweet without all that sugar!

The Sweetness Challenge:

When pairing wine with fruit-topped pizza, remember this golden rule: the wine should be sweeter than the dish. If not, the pizza’s sweetness can make the wine taste overly acidic and unpleasant.  Like paint thinner.

Three Approaches to Wine Pairing:

1. The Casual Approach: Enjoy your preferred wine without worrying about perfect pairings. After all, wine enhances any meal, regardless of strict pairing rules.
2. The Balanced Approach: Choose a non-alcoholic wine with some sweetness, and use fruit toppings sparingly on your pizza. This allows the wine’s sweetness to complement rather than compete with the dish.
3. The Sweetness Boost: As mentioned above, add a small amount of monk fruit sweetener to your glass of wine. This method can effectively balance the sweetness levels. For smoother integration, grind the sweetener to a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
