Beer Pairing: Brian Murphy, Director of Sales & Marketing at the Massachusetts Beverage Alliance LLC, and Certified Cicerone, pairs Pizza Chiena with Slumbrew Better Half Cream Ale. Because the pizza chiena is filled with Italian meats, and made with eggs and cheeses, the Slumbrew stands up to the heartiness of the dish.
Wine Pairing: Dan Hirschkop, wine director at Gordon’s Fine Wines & Liquors pairs a red wine from Sicily with the pizza chiena. The 2010 Tenuta Terre Nere Etna Rosso is similar to a pinor noir. The Tenuta Terre Nere is light and Fruity, and when drunk, goes down silky and smooth, featuring a spicy quality.
