I’ve loved this combo since they first served it to us kids back in the grade school cafeteria: pizza and chocolate milk.  
And for dessert? Warm apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese, of course.

I’ve noticed that a lot of posts do a complete 180 from the OP so I figured I’d be the bastard to do it this time.

What things don’t go well together?

Does anybody remember Combos? For all I know they may still make them. Pretzels and Pizza? What sadist came up with that combo? And the pretzels are stale to boot.

Yuck!
