    pizza is hot and has a lot of fats, oils, carbs. White wine is usually cooled, crisp, acidic, and/or effervescence and most can be a little tart, which helps cut the fattiness and oils of the pizza. That is the complementary aspect of it, it is a classic acidic vs fatty balance. Pizza is warm comforting, the wine is cool and refreshing. Also the acidity in the red sauce provides a nice common element between the two, helping to bind the flavors.

    Because that red sauce is sweet and with the cheese makes for a light flavor

    Pile on the toppings to up the umami and it goes way better with a red

      Not true.

      Red wines will be tannic from leaving the skins in the wine, whites lack this.

      Theres more, but that’s a start.

        It’s more tannic because there is skin in it, not because it’s red. You can add red food dye to white wine and it won’t be more tannic … because colour and flavour have nothing to do with each other.
