Although soda is often seen as the quintessential drink for pizza, those with a penchant for juice acknowledge that the ideal juice combination can significantly enhance the pizza dining experience. At WholeSupply, together with local connoisseurs, we've carefully crafted suggestions for juice pairings that flawlessly enhance our pizza menu. These recommendations are sure to enhance your dining experience whether you choose to enjoy your meal at our eatery or in the comfort of your home.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza, with its delicate combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, pairs well with a juice that's not too overpowering. A homemade tomato basil juice provides a vibrant acidity that echoes the fresh tomatoes and has the structure to balance the mozzarella's richness. In contrast, a subtle pomegranate blend offers a smooth red fruit bouquet that augments the tomatoes' sweetness and pairs nicely with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest complementing our Margherita with our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter taste, a locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas adorned with rich meats like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto beckon for juices that have a robust body and zest to match their intense flavors. A Spiced cherry juice with its rich fruit taste and a hint of pepper complements the meat's saltiness and spiciness. Blackcurrant juice is another great option, with its deep berry flavors and a tangy edge that slices through the meat's decadence.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly enjoy our crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The sylvan, savory notes of mushrooms and truffles are best matched by juices that possess similar nuances. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy scent, is an ideal match for mushroom flavors, and its innate sweetness mitigates any overpowering richness. Similarly, a forest berry blend is perfect as it yields layered berry accents that echo the rusticity of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza pairs excellently with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas that feature seafood such as prawns or clams are complemented by crisp juices that bring out mineral aspects. A citrus fusion brings a refreshing zing that highlights seafood elements, with bright overtones that help to lighten the dish. Another stellar match is sea buckthorn juice, known for its vivid acidity, exotic undertone, and slight tartness that balances out the seafood's subtlety.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes wonderfully with either our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with an array of vegetables benefit from adaptable, herb-infused juices. A green detox juice made up of spinach, celery, and apple reflects and heightens the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and a variety of vegetables. Alternatively, a Cucumber melon juice delivers a restrained freshness and a gentle body that can accompany the variety of vegetable textures without overshadowing 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 indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza requires a juice that complements or contrasts it; a creamy almond milk does the former with nutty overtones that highlight the cheese, while a sparkling apple juice offers the latter with its light fizz and acidity cutting through the creaminess, accompanied by a fruity tang that serves as a delightful contrast.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is a delicious match with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas that contain ingredients such as chili flakes, zesty sausage, or fiery honey, juice with cooling or spicy profiles offers a soothing contrast. Mango lassi tempers the heat and its creamy consistency comforts during each bite. The Ginger turmeric juice equally stands up to the spiciness while providing an appealing flavor contrast and health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Hot Diavola pizza is ideally paired with Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the daring gourmets trying our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet drinks are a must. Berry smoothies work well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk is a divine match with chocolate and hazelnut spreads. The key is a drink that matches or surpasses the dessert's sweetness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is sublime with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
