While fizzy drinks have traditionally been pizza's go-to liquid mate, aficionados of juice understand that a well-chosen juice can take a pizza meal to higher levels of delight. At SavoryPantry, through collaboration with local connoisseurs, we have crafted juice suggestions that will enhance the flavors of our pizzas. Whether eating in our establishment or ordering for home, these pairings will assist you in discovering the ideal juice to go along with your preferred type of pizza.
Iconic Margherita: Juice of Tomato & Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
The uncomplex nature of the Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil, necessitates a juice that doesn't overshadow these fine flavors. A self-prepared juice of tomato and basil presents a zesty tang that syncs with the tomato while holding its own against the cheese. Or, a pomegranate fusion that's light in body adds sophisticated notes of red fruit that highlight the tomato's sweetness and the basil's herbal freshness.
Our top pick: A Tomato Basil Chiller or a Pomegranate Blueberry concoction sourced locally pairs wonderfully with our Margherita.
Loaded Pepperoni and Meat Extravaganza: Piquant Cherry or Blackcurrant
Robust pizzas topped with cured meat varieties like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto benefit from full-flavored juices that possess a spicy kick to stand up against the bold taste of the meat. A piquant cherry juice carries a fruity, jam-like essence with a spicy endnote that matches the toppings' saltiness and spiciness. A blackcurrant juice poses as an alternative, delivering deep rustic fruit tastes with a tart sharpness that slices through the meats' opulence.
Our top pick: Patrons seem to be fond of our handcrafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Feast pizza.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Medley
Mushrooms and truffles, rich in earthy umami tastes, require juices that echo these characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its sweet, subtle, earthy tone, pairs exquisitely with the flavors of mushrooms and truffles. Meanwhile, a forest berry mix brings intricate berry notes that reflect the earthy nuance of such pizzas.
Our top pick: We recommend pairing our Wild Mushroom pizza with a Beetroot Juice pressed fresh or a Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Zesty Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or clams, bright juices with mineral undertones make an ideal company. A zesty citrus mix imbues a refreshing zest, enhancing the seafood while adding lively notes to balance the dish. Sea buckthorn is another superb selection for its tart, tropical nature that compliments seafood without overpowering the subtle taste.
Our top pick: Our Coastal Seafood Pizza resonates beautifully with a Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetarian Special: Herbal Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Veggie-laden pizzas with various flavors are best accompanied by adaptable, herb-infused juices. A cleansing green juice with spinach, celery, and apple reverberates the taste profiles of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. A Cucumber Melon juice brings a refined freshness that complements diverse veggie textures.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Supreme pizza forms a perfect pair with a Daily Green Cleanse or a Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quartet of Cheese Pizza: Silky Almond or Fizzy Apple
The lusciousness of a pizza with four different cheeses can be approached in two ways, complementary or contrasting. Silky almond milk with nutty undertones accentuates the cheeses' similar flavors. In contrast, a fizzy apple juice, with its bubbles and crisp taste, can slice through the cheesiness while the fruitiness serves as a pleasant contrast.
Our top pick: The Quattro Formaggi finds its match in a Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
Facing pizzas with tangy toppings such as chili, spicy sausage, or zesty honey, juices that are creamy or have a bite provide solace. A Mango Lassi has a cooling effect and its creamy consistency alleviates the heat between bites. Alternatively, a juice with ginger and turmeric is equal to the spices, adding an appealing contrast in flavor and the benefit of reducing inflammation.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is well-matched with a Home-Made Mango Lassi or a Ginger Turmeric Boost from Firefly.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolatey Almond
For the adventurous souls sampling our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruits, indulgent sweet blends are key. A mixed berry smoothie complements a fruit-topped dessert pizza, while a rich chocolate almond milk is heavenly with chocolate and hazelnut variations — ensuring the drink matches the dessert's sweetness is paramount.
Our top pick: Our Chocolate Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with a Triple Berry Blast or Creamy Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance on Juice and Pizza Harmony
- Zero in on the dominant taste profile of the pizza, beyond simply the crust or sauce variety
- Juices with a high level of acidity tend to work favorably with pizzas that use tomato sauce, due to the inherent acidity of tomatoes
- Fizzy juices boast versatility making them suitable for almost any pizza variant
- Embrace experimentation—unexpected matches can result in especially memorable dining experiences
