Wingman Metrics
The list is short, Italian, and unapologetic about it. You're not getting a deep cellar here — you're getting a focused lineup that matches the room: red-checkered-tablecloth energy with enough sense to pour Lugana instead of just Pinot Grigio. It's a pizzeria wine list that actually thought about pizza.
Everything on the list is Italian, which is the right call and also the only call. You've got your whites covered with Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Lugana, and Soave — more range than most places at this price point. The reds lean predictably toward Chianti, Montepulciano, Valpolicella, and Primitivo, which is exactly what you want when there's a Margherita in front of you. The Lambrusco and Prosecco inclusions show at least a little personality. What's missing is any producer-level detail — we're buying regions and grapes, not names.
Twelve by-the-glass options from a list this size is generous — nearly the whole list is available by the pour, which earns real points. Prices run €5.50–€8.00 a glass, landing squarely in the 'no-regrets ordering' zone. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority, but the range is solid enough that you're not stuck choosing between house red and house white.
Lugana — ~$7/glass
Lugana punches well above the price — it's a serious northern Italian white with real texture and salinity that most people have never heard of. Ordering it here at pizzeria prices feels like a minor heist.
Lambrusco
Most people at a pizza place default to Chianti without a second thought. The Lambrusco is the smarter order — lightly sparkling, low in alcohol, and one of the most food-friendly wines on the planet with a saucy, cheesy pizza in front of you.
Chardonnay
With Lugana and Soave on the same list, there's no reason to order the Chardonnay. It almost certainly comes from somewhere anonymous and exists here because someone felt the list needed it. It does not.
Valpolicella + Margherita Pizza
Valpolicella's bright cherry fruit and medium body won't bulldoze a simple pizza the way a bigger red would. The acidity mirrors the tomato sauce and the wine stays light enough to let the fresh mozzarella do its thing.
The Bottom Line
Bacco isn't trying to be a wine bar — it's a pizzeria that respects the Italian tradition enough to pour the right wines at honest prices. Send a friend here without hesitation; just steer them toward the Lugana.

Mangia Qui is a genuinely appealing spot — the food, the room, and the service cadence all point toward a place that takes the dining experience seriously. The Italian wine focus is the right instinct for this kitchen, and duck confit with a solid Tuscan red is exactly what this kind of room should be delivering. We just don't have enough confirmed wine list detail yet to tell you whether to come for the bottle or stick to the food. Worth a visit — ask your server what's good on the wine list and see what happens.

Zia's isn't a wine destination, but it's a reliable, fairly priced list that respects the room it's in and won't leave you feeling ripped off. If you're here for a nice Italian dinner and a couple of honest glasses of wine, it delivers.

Federal Taphouse is a beer bar that happens to serve wine, and the list reflects exactly that priority order. If you're with a group split between pint-drinkers and wine-drinkers, it works — just don't expect anyone to geek out over the bottle selection with you.

Home 231 is a solid neighborhood dinner spot where the wine list does its job without any drama — which is fine, as long as you're not expecting it to be the reason you showed up. Come for the food, order something simple off the list, and enjoy the room.

Hershey · Harrisburg · Seafood/Steakhouse
Devon isn't breaking new ground, but for a chain steakhouse in Hershey, this wine list punches above its weight — especially if you gravitate toward Rieslings or Pinot Noir. We'd send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged and won't have to settle.

Black 'n Bleu is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak — the wine list, however, is an afterthought dressed up as a program. Skip the Woodbridge, grab the Argyle, and spend your energy on the food.

Belltown · Seattle · Pizza
Belltown Pizza keeps wine short: ten wines between the beer and cocktail sections. Order the Château Minuty Prestige Rosé at $12/glass, or the Mark Ryan The Vincent if you want a Washington red with your slice. Ask which of the two prices on each red is the glass, and confirm the whites' prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown / Creekside · Ashland · Pizza
Creekside Pizza isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and at these prices in this market, the honest, unpretentious list earns a pass. Send a friend here if they want something decent to drink without a lecture or a markup.

Local Pie isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — it's a solid neighborhood pizza spot with a list that gets the job done at fair prices. If you're on island and want a decent glass with your pie without overthinking it, this works.
