Whether you’re shifting from church pews to dinner chairs or are searching for cozy couch mates for an Easter film marathon, the ideal easter pizza pairing is ready to turn any occasion around.
The genius of easter pizza is that it’s so versatile. Pizza has unlimited pairing options, just as sommeliers would match Apple Pie and Vouvray Chenin Blanc for refined taste buds.

This Easter, we’d like you to come and see how pizza in all its delectable forms can add to your celebration, whether a formal family gathering or a laid-back post-church relaxation session. Let’s find the perfect pizza pairings for each Easter moment.
Brunch Pairings for Easter Morning
Pizza has become an increasingly fashionable option for contemporary Easter brunches. The morning gap between sunrise services and afternoon celebrations is an ideal time to bring easter pizza into your celebration. Post-church hunger calls for something hearty yet sophisticated—just where these morning combinations shine.
Veggie Pizza + Fresh OJ for Mimosas
The Easter season signals the return of spring, so vegetable-based creations are extra fitting. A skillfully made veggie pizza delivers:
- Visual beauty that reflects Easter’s festive color scheme—red tomato, green spinach, sunshine yellow bell pepper
- Nutritional balance before the chocolate bunny and marshmallow dessert indulgence
- Lighter gratification that will not overwhelm early risers
Pairing recommendation: The crispness of just-squeezed orange juice pairs with garden-fresh flavors, with mimosas adding celebratory fizz for adults. Citrus zest cuts through cheese density while adding vegetable freshness—a perfect easter pizza pairing for breakfast.
Manny & Olga’s Vegetable Pizza consists of a selected combination of fresh vegetables over their signature hand-made dough, making it an option that fills without bogging down for a morning.
White Pizza + Iced Coffee or Cold Brew
For those wanting something more refined than the classic tomato-based ones, white pizza offers a classy easter pizza alternative:
- Creamy ricotta and mozzarella bases provide rich, subtle canvases
- Garlic-infused olive oil delivers aromatic complexity
- Lack of acidic tomato sauce creates breakfast-appropriate flavor profiles
Pairing recommendation: The strong intensity of cold brew coffee or sweetened iced coffee makes an ideal counterpoint to the creaminess of the pizza. The bitterness in the coffee counteracts the richness of the cheese while delivering the caffeine needed for Easter egg hunt oversight.

Family Gathering Favorites
Easter celebrations often bring together multiple generations with diverse preferences. These crowd-pleasing pizza pairings accommodate varying tastes while maintaining the festive atmosphere.
Classic Pepperoni or Cheese + Sparkling Water or Soda
Sometimes simplicity reigns supreme, especially when accommodating younger palates or traditionalists:
- Universally beloved flavors ensure everyone finds something satisfying
- Simple preparation enables hosts to concentrate on other aspects
- Home comfort fosters an easygoing, hospitality-conducive ambiance
Folding recommendation: The bubbles of sparkling water or traditional sodas slice through the richness of cheese while providing refreshment in between. In children, the combination instills special-occasion memories without bringing in new flavors.
Manny & Olga’s Classic Pepperoni is pizza perfection—daily-made dough topped with high-quality mozzarella and crisped-to-perfection pepperoni makes an Easter crowd-pleaser that needs no gilding.
