Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Teresa's Pizza | Wine Bar covers cocktails, wine, beer, and zero-proof drinks on one all-day menu. Cocktails run from a Classic Negroni and Espressotini to a Sicilian Margarita, plus a spritz section with Aperol, Hugo, and Campalec 'Apple' sold by glass or pitcher. Wine moves through sparkling, white, rose, and red by the glass and bottle, beer lists eight options including local and imported picks, and the zero-proof section gives non-drinkers four dedicated cocktails plus Heineken 0.0%.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Classic Negroni, built on organic gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth at $16, or the Aperol Spritz, which comes by the glass at $14 or by the pitcher at $42. For wine, the Sangiovese Ombroneta from Toscana is the top glass at $18. The zero-proof Espressotini uses Lyre's coffee liqueur and Sakrid espresso for $14.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups ordering pitchers of spritz, wine drinkers who want a named glass across sparkling, white, rose, or red, and beer drinkers who want an Italian lager, a hazy pale ale, or a non-alcoholic option without leaving the table.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with cocktails at $9, wine at $6, and all draft beer at $6. Otherwise the menu is all-day, so the program is available whenever the kitchen is serving.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $15-$17, with spritz-style drinks at $14 per glass or $42 per pitcher. Wine by the glass runs $12-$18, bottles $44-$68. Beer is $8-$9, zero-proof cocktails are $12-$14, and Heineken 0.0% is $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A pizza restaurant with a beverage list that treats every category as a real section: named cocktails, a spritz-and-pitcher format, wine by glass and bottle across four styles, eight beers spanning local, imported, and non-alcoholic, and a four-drink zero-proof cocktail list.
