Pizza with a Heineken beer



What beer pairs best with pizza?

When it comes to pairing beer with pizza, there are a few classic options that tend to work well. The carbonation and bitterness of a good IPA can complement the richness of cheese and meat on a pizza. A lager, with its crisp and clean taste, can also be a great choice to refresh the palate between bites. Additionally, a lighter beer like a pilsner can be a refreshing match for a variety of pizza toppings. Ultimately, the best beer to pair with pizza depends on personal taste, so feel free to experiment and find your perfect combination!

Add the flour. Always knead the mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the salt last and knead again. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 4-5 hours until it doubles in volume. Once the rising time has elapsed, take the pizza dough and knead it with your hands to deflate it. Divide it into 4 pieces and shape into balls. Knead them on a well-floured work surface and give them a round shape. Place the pizza base in a well-oiled baking dish. Season the pizza however you like.
