What is the best drink to have with pizza?

Order a pizza and the drink argument starts before the box is open. Fizz, tannin or something plain and cold: pick a side.

1. 1
   Pepsi

   The sweeter cola, poured from the fountain at more pizzerias than almost any other drink.
2. 2
   Coca-Cola

   The default pizza-night soda, its acidity cutting straight through melted cheese.
3. 3
   Cold Lager

   Crisp, cold and carbonated, the beer style most pizzerias pour by the pitcher.
4. 4
   IPA

   Hoppy and bitter enough to stand up to pepperoni grease and heavy toppings.
5. 5
   Chianti

   High-acid Tuscan red that grew up alongside tomato sauce and still matches it best.
6. 6
   Prosecco

   Dry Italian sparkling wine whose bubbles scrub the palate between slices.
7. 7
   Sprite

   Clear lemon-lime fizz that suits veggie pizzas without piling on caramel sweetness.
8. 8
   Root Beer

   Creamy sarsaparilla soda, the American diner counterpart to a cheese slice.
9. 9
   Dr Pepper

   Twenty-three-flavor soda with a spiced edge that plays off cured meats.
10. 10
    Mountain Dew

    Neon citrus soda tied to late-night pizza and gaming sessions.
11. 11
    Sparkling Water

    Bubbles with no sugar, the palate cleanser for rich, salty pies.
12. 12
    Iced Tea

    Tannic and lightly sweet, a Southern staple that keeps a pizza meal from feeling heavy.
13. 13
    Lemonade

    Sharp, sweet citrus that resets the mouth after a bite of pepperoni.
14. 14
    Orange Soda

    Bright, sugary fizz that turns a slice into a childhood birthday party.
15. 15
    Sangiovese

    The grape behind Chianti, poured solo as a bright, cherry-driven red for tomato pies.
16. 16
    Negroni

    Bitter, boozy Italian aperitivo that resets the palate between rich slices.
17. 17
    Aperol Spritz

    Orange-bitter Italian spritz built for lingering over a shared pizza outdoors.
