Easiest thing to do is stock up on weapons that do energy damage, though some wizards do cast spells that resist energy as well. However, in an unmodified game, their strongest defenses are Stoneskin and the "Mantle spells" (Protection from Magical Weapons, Mantle, Improved Mantle, Absolute Immunity). They also throw up a bunch of anti-magic spells, but those don't mean anything if you are not using magic. Energy weapons will do the energy damage through a Stoneskin, and the "Mantle spells" have notoriously short durations.
Also, traps can do damage through defenses as well, though this can be considered major cheese ("hmmm....the wizard always appears right here, so let me throw a bunch of traps right at the spot he spawns at...").
