Even though soda is often considered the go-to drink for pizza, juice connoisseurs are aware that the ideal juice pairing can indeed elevate the enjoyment of pizza. At DigitalInnovationCenter, we've worked in tandem with culinary specialists to suggest juice pairings that perfectly match our variety of pizzas. Whether you're dining with us or ordering to savor at home, these suggestions will assist you in selecting the flawless juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza, with its tomato, mozzarella, and basil purity, pairs well with a drink that does not overshadow its nuanced tastes. A self-made tomato basil juice brings a lively tartness that echoes the tomato acidity and holds up confidently against the cheese. On the other hand, a light pomegranate blend can introduce sophisticated red fruit notes that build upon the tomatoes’ sweetness and the basil’s aromatic quality.
Our specific recommendation: Our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or a Pomegranate Blueberry blend sourced from local producers complements our Margherita beautifully.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas topped with savory meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto require drinks with sufficient character and spice to contend with their strong tastes. A spiced cherry juice, showing deep fruitiness and a spicy kick, pairs wonderfully with the meats' savory and spicy profiles. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice provides deep, rustic fruit essences with a tart edge that proficiently slices through the meats' sumptuousness.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly like our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme accompanying our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The rich, umami character of mushrooms and truffles seek out juices that share fitting earthy notes. Beetroot juice, with its modest earthy scent, beautifully supplements the flavors of mushrooms, balanced by its innate sweetness. A forest berry mixture also achieves greatness, with its nuanced berry flavors that reverberate the earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley is a match worth trying.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-laden pizzas such as those with prawns or clams pair ideally with crisp juices that bear mineral notes. A citrus mix offers zestful qualities that boost the seafood flavors and add vibrant notes that refresh the palate. Sea buckthorn juice is another top pick with its strong acidity and topical nuances coupled with a slight tartness that delicately accompanies the seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes splendidly with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas dressed with an assortment of vegetables benefit from adaptable, herb-infused juices. A green detox juice containing spinach, celery, and apple elevates the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and the like. Cucumber melon juice, with its quiet freshness and svelte body, pairs well with the mix of vegetable textures without being domineering.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is harmonized with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The opulence of a four-cheese pizza benefits from either a drink that complements or contrasts. Creamy almond milk delivers nutty nuances that develop similar flavors present in the cheese blend. In the realm of contrast, a fizzy apple juice with its effervescence and tartness slices through the richness, offering a fruity interlude to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs magnificently with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas adorned with chili, spicy sausage, or fiery honey, creamy or zesty juices provide a comforting reprieve. Mango lassi, with its cooling effect and velvety texture, mitigates the heat in between bites. A Ginger Turmeric juice confidently meets the spice head-on, offering intriguing flavor contrasts along with health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is superbly balanced by Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the bold trying our Nutella and fruit-laden dessert pizzas, sweet juices are key. A mixed berry smoothie complements fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk is an exquisite partner for chocolate-hazelnut expressions. Ensure the beverage's sweetness matches or exceeds the dessert's.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely matched with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
