Although carbonated soft drinks have often been seen as the go-to companion for pizza, those who adore juices understand that a thoughtful juice pairing can splendidly enhance a pizza meal. At ModernLifestyleUpdates, we've partnered with local connoisseurs to craft juice pairing ideas that are an ideal match for our offerings. Whether you're eating with us or opting for a takeaway, these suggestions will help you discover the ultimate juice to accompany your preferred pizza type.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza's timeless combination of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil demands a juice that’s subtle enough not to smother these gentle tastes. A house-made tomato basil juice contributes a zesty sharpness that echoes the tomatoes and carries sufficient character to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate concoction brings refined hints of red fruit that build on the tomato's sweetness and the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We're partial to pairing our classic Margherita with either our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something with sweetness, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavily topped meat pizzas like those with pepperoni or sausage call for robust, spicy juices. A spiced cherry juice, with its deep fruitiness and a hint of heat, stands up to the meats' saltiness and spice. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice offers dark, rustic berry flavors with a tangy finish that cuts through the meat's unctuousness.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons especially savor our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas that showcase the earthy notes of mushrooms and truffles, select juices that have grounding flavors. Beetroot juice, with its delicate earthy scent, beautifies the fungi taste and its inherent sweetness counterbalances the richness. A smoothie with mixed forest berries is also a great choice, as it introduces layered berry notes that reflect the pizza's earthy undertones.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza goes exquisitely with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Crisp, mineral-like juices are the perfect match for pizzas that feature seafood such as prawns or clams. A citrus melange brings a rejuvenating effect that elevates the seafood flavors, with bright tones that make the whole taste lighter. Sea buckthorn juice, with its high acidity and tropical flair, offers yet another superlative pairing, its mild sharpness harmonizing beautifully with the seafood's subtlety.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a delightful companion to our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas loaded with a variety of vegetables benefit from flexible, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice combining spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and heightens the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and more. A refreshing cucumber melon juice offers a gentle freshness and a crisp character that matches many vegetable tastes without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its perfect match with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The indulgence of a four-cheese pizza demands a drink that either complements or contrasts it. Creamy almond milk offers a nutty taste that accentuates the cheeses' similar characteristics. For a contrasting taste, consider a fizzy apple juice—its light acidity and sparkle cut through the richness, and its fruity essence offers a nice contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is perfectly suited to Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
In cases of pizzas adorned with spicy elements like chili or spicy sausage, soothing or warmly spicy drinks offer a reprieve. Mango lassi calms the palate with its creaminess easing the after-heat. A ginger turmeric drink not only holds its own against spiciness but also offers an appealing flavor contrast along with health-giving properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza pairs perfectly with a Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the brave enough to sample our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, a juice with a sweet profile is a must. A smoothie with berries complements the fruit on dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk is sublime with variations that involve chocolate and hazelnut. The key is choosing a drink that's at least as sweet as the dessert pizza itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
