While carbonated drinks have traditionally been the go-to companion for pizza, those passionate about juice know that an exceptional juice pairing can take a pizza meal to the next level. At PantryWoven, together with local connoisseurs, we've curated juice recommendations that harmonize exquisitely with our pizza selection. Whether savoring your pie at our establishment or in the comfort of your own home, these suggestions will guide you to an ideal juice complement for your chosen style of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza, with its sublime layering of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil, deserves a juice that enhances yet doesn’t mask its refined flavors. A self-made tomato basil juice adds a zesty touch mirroring the tomatoes, robust enough for the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate concoction introduces discreet red fruit tones that play off the tomato's natural sweetness and marry well with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: The Margherita finds a great match in our house Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, the locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas laden with a bounty of cured meats like pepperoni and sausage require a juice profile with comparable depth and a hint of spice. A spiced cherry juice with its luscious fruit profile and a hint of heat is the perfect counterbalance to the meats' savory punch. For an interesting twist, try the blackcurrant juice, which brings bold, dark fruit essences and a refreshing tartness to slice through the umami heft of the meats.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons rave about pairing our robust Meat Feast pizza with either our artisanal Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The nuanced, savory taste of mushrooms and truffle on pizza finds its match in beverages that present earthy undertones. Beetroot juice provides a mild, earthy bouquet to pair with the mushrooms and truffles while its sweetness attends to the savory notes. Similarly, a juice blend from assorted forest berries complements the full-bodied flavors, introducing a complex fruit character that resonates with the earthy elements of the dish.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is beautifully amplified when enjoyed with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-laden pizzas, such as those topped with shrimp or clams, marry well with light, tangy juices offering a mineral-like quality. A citrus medley, effervescent with its array of vibrant notes, washes over the palate, enhancing the fresh sea flavors without overwhelming. Additionally, sea buckthorn juice is a choice to consider with its bold acidity, trove of tropical notes, and a gentle tartness that honors the delicateness of the seafood.
Our specific recommendation: With a distinctive Mediterranean flair, our Seafood pizza melds harmoniously with either our zesty Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
For pizza generously topped with garden greens, a versatile juice with an herby undertone accompaniment works wonders. A green detox juice, blending spinach, celery, and apple, emphasizes the fresh vegetable flavors like bell peppers and artichokes while maintaining a crisp profile. Alternatively, a cucumber melon juice offers a delicate and clean taste that nicely supports the diverse vegetable textures without dominating the taste buds.
Our specific recommendation: Try our Garden Harvest pizza with the rejuvenating Daily Green Detox or the light and refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The luxurious texture of a four-cheese pizza necessitates a drink that either echoes or sets off its profile. Creamy almond beverage delivers a complementary nuttiness that accentuates the cheese's similar notes, while a sparkling apple beverage's bubbles and sharpness slice through the creaminess, its fruit undertones providing a delightful contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is sublimely coupled with a Vanilla Almond Beverage or an invigorating Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas that pack heat with chili peppers or spicy toppings benefit from cool, creamy, or spiced juices. A traditional Mango Lassi cools down the tastebuds and its creaminess pacifies the spicy edges. Meanwhile, a Ginger Turmeric juice confronts the heat admirably and brings an interesting flavor complexity along with added health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza finds its perfect counterpart in our Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Dessert pizzas, daringly topped with Nutella and fruit, pair beautifully with equally indulgent drinks. A berry smoothie complements fruit-rich dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond beverage is an exquisite match for those favoring chocolate-hazelnut spreads. Balance is key, ensuring the selected drink is suitably sweet to accompany the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: The Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with the bursting flavors of Triple Berry Blast or the smoothness of Dark Chocolate Almond Beverage.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Factor in the predominant flavor on the pizza, not solely the crust or toppings
- Acidic juices are commonly suitable with tomato-based pizzas, linking to the inherent tartness of the tomatoes
- Sparkling juices are adaptable choices that can be featured with almost all pizza variations
- Encourage experimentation—occasionally the most unexpected pairings give rise to the most talked-about flavor combinations
