Pizza and beer pairings

What are your preferences for pizza and beer pairings? For me I tend to like a dark beer with deep crust pizzas and lighter beers and beverages for lighter pizzas. I guess both go along with your taste mood at the time. When I'm in hearty mood I might indulge in a deep dish pizza with a Genuius. Maybe some people do just the opposite in having a light beer if they are eating a deep crust.

Any beer goes with Pizza, that is why it is the Food of The Gods.

Myself, though, I prefer either a Cascade Premium Lager or Crown Lager or a Peroni as these are the only half decent beers that my regular 2 Pizza restaurants sell.

For me it's a nice light neapolitan crust with an ale. All I want on the pizza is maybe artichoke hearts and tomato, keeping it thin and light. I had a Cutthroat last night, hit the spot.

I tend to drink crisper beers like Pure Blonde or similair with pizza, I find it tends to cut the "heavy" feeling you get straight after eating it.

Coopers Pale Ale with a lighter style pizza. Sparkling Ale with a meaty bugger.

But really, there aren't too many beers that don't go with pizza. Those that don't are generally the ones that I wouldn't drink in a fit anyway. And I doubt that something like Chimay is really a pizza-eating beer.

Cheers,
