Although many may consider a carbonated beverage the go-to drink for pizza, those who appreciate a good juice know that the right selection can significantly enhance the flavors of a pizza. At SavoryStream, we have teamed up with culinary specialists to craft juice recommendations that pair perfectly with our various pizzas. These pairings will enhance your dining experience, whether you're eating inside our establishment or savoring our pizzas at home.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A classic Margherita pizza, with its clean flavors of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, deserves a juice that does not overpower its tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice allows the tangy taste of the tomatoes to shine and is robust enough to balance the mozzarella’s flavor. On the other hand, a gentle pomegranate juice can introduce a subtle red fruit essence that enriches the sweetness of the tomatoes and matches the basil’s green notes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita is delightful with our handmade Tomato Basil Cooler or with a refreshing pomegranate blueberry juice sourced from local farmers.
Pepperoni and Meat-Laden Pizzas: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas with hearty toppings such as pepperoni or sausage pair well with a juice that can stand up to their intense taste. A cherry juice infused with spices has a hearty fruitiness that complements the savory and spicy meat. Another excellent option is blackcurrant juice, which has deep berry tones and a tartness that helps cut through the meat's fat.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons especially enjoy our Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our robust Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Pizzas with truffle or mushrooms work best with juices that encapsulate earthy tones. Beetroot juice, with its gentle earthiness, is a beautiful match for the umami from the mushrooms, and its sweetness is a nice counterpoint to the rich flavors. A forest berry juice is another fantastic option, with complex berry notes that reflect the depth of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: For our Wild Mushroom pizza, we suggest trying it with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas, such as those with prawns or clams, are complemented by zesty juices with mineral undertones. A citrus mix is ideal for highlighting the fresh seafood flavor, offering sparkling notes that keep the pizza feeling light. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its tart profile and tropical nuance, is also a great choice for pairing with seafood pizzas.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is an excellent match with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable-Topped Pizza: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
A pizza covered in vegetables pairs well with versatile juices that feature herbal hints. A juice blend that includes green veggies like spinach and celery resonates with the natural flavors of peppers and artichokes. Juice made from cucumber and melon offers a subtle, refreshing taste that doesn't overwhelm the diverse vegetable flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza goes perfectly with a Daily Green Detox or a cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond or Effervescent Apple
The decadent creaminess of a four-cheese pizza can be paired beautifully with either a similar or contrasting type of drink. Almond milk offers nutty undertones that can make cheese flavors more pronounced. A carbonated apple beverage provides a contrasting tang and fizz that can cut through the creamy cheesiness while providing a contrasting fruity trace.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza can be wonderfully combined with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a spicy kick, drinks that have a creamy texture or own spice notes are a welcome addition. Mango lassi provides a cool, smooth break from the heat, while a ginger turmeric blend can stand up to the spiciness and presents an interesting flavor variance with additional health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: The kick of our Spicy Diavola pizza is beautifully matched with our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Those bold enough to sample our pizzas with sweet toppings such as Nutella and fruit will find that similar sweet drinks complement them best. A mixed berry smoothie pairs well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk is an indulgent choice for pizzas featuring chocolate-hazelnut spreads, ensuring the beverage is as sweet as the treat itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine when enjoyed with a Triple Berry Blast or a Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
