While soft drinks are often the go-to match for pizza, those passionate about juice understand that a thoughtfully chosen juice can immensely enhance the pizza eating encounter. At PlateMealSimple, we have teamed up with culinary specialists to curate juice pair suggestions that wonderfully accentuate our offerings. Whether you're enjoying our dishes at our establishment or in the comfort of your own home, these suggested pairings will help you discover the ideal juice to accompany your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The fundamental nature of a Margherita pizza, with its aromatic tomatoes, soft mozzarella, and fragrant basil, necessitates a beverage that doesn't overshadow these subtle tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice delivers a refreshing tanginess to match the tomato, while also providing ample flavor to balance the cheese's presence. A pomegranate blend, with its light texture, introduces a nuanced red fruit profile that enhances the tomato's sweetness and pairs well with the basil's green notes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita goes splendidly with our noted Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a touch of sweetness, a local Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas laden with savory meats like pepperoni or sausage crave juices with sufficient depth and a note of spice to balance their robust tastes. A spiced cherry juice exudes a rich fruit essence and a hint of spice that beautifully contrasts with the meat's salty and zesty flavors. Blackcurrant juice is also a great alternative, offering deep berry undertones and a tangy finish that effectively slices through the meat's heartiness.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons frequently favor our crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when enjoying our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The complex, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffles demand juices that can reflect their earthy quality. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthiness, forms a perfect complement to the mushroom and truffle umami, while its inherent sweetness counterbalances the savory depth. A forest berry mix is another excellent choice, crafting layered berry flavors that parallel the profound earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Enjoy our Wild Mushroom pizza with either our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or our Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
When selecting a pairing for pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or clams, select refreshing beverages with mineral accents. A citrus fusion offers invigorating properties that enhance the taste of the seafood, while bright accents provide a lighter dining experience. Sea buckthorn juice serves as another excellent companion, bringing high acidity and hints of tropical fruit while maintaining a subtle tartness that respects the seafood's finesse.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a perfect match for our refreshing Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with an assortment of veggies work harmoniously with herbal and versatile juices. A green detox concoction, incorporating ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple, reflects and augments the assortment of flavors from toppings such as bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, a cucumber melon juice provides a nuanced freshness and lightness that complements the vegetable's diverse textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza achieves perfection with our Daily Green Detox or our refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon beverage.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The intense richness of a four-cheese pizza invites either a similar or contrasting juice choice. Creamy almond milk provides a nutty flavor that intensifies the cheeses' inherent qualities. Conversely, a fizzy apple juice brings a lively effervescence and acidity that cuts through the cheese's creaminess, while its fruity essence serves as a delightful contrast to the savory cheese.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi is ideally accompanied by either Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas spiced with chili, hot sausages, or fiery honey, opt for soothing creamy or bold juices. A mango lassi provides cooling refreshment and a silky texture that calms the palate in between mouthfuls. A ginger turmeric juice pairs flawlessly with spicy flavors, contributing an interesting contrast and healthful properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is ideally coupled with our Home-made Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those trying out Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, sweet juices are of the essence. A mixed berry smoothie is excellent for fruit-laden dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond beverage wonderfully complements chocolate and hazelnut spread-based pizzas, ensuring the drinks' sweetness matches that of the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely matched with either a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
