While soda may traditionally accompany pizza, those who love juice understand that the correct juice pairing can take a pizza meal to a higher level. Here at HarborGladePlain, we've teamed up with culinary specialists to offer juice pairing advice that aligns impeccably with our pizza selections. Enjoy these pairings either at our establishment or in the comfort of your home, elevating the taste of your chosen pizza variant.
Timeless Margherita: Juice of Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza, with its uncomplicated blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, demands a juice that respects its subtle tastes. A tomato basil juice crafted at home perfectly accompanies the fresh tomato taste with its lively tang, offering the right structure to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a mild pomegranate blend introduces refined notes of red fruits that amplify the tomato's sweetness and marry well with the aromatic basil.
Our top pick: A Tomato Basil Chiller is our preference for the Margherita, or try a Pomegranate Blueberry potion sourced from local producers for a touch of sweet.
For Pepperoni and Meat Enthusiasts: Cherry Juice with a Spice Kick or Rich Blackcurrant
Meaty pizzas adorned with toppings like pepperoni or sausage require a juice with the substance and zest to face their pronounced tastes. A jam-like cherry juice spiced up with a peppery hint contrasts the saltiness and fiery flavor of the meats. Alternatively, a blackcurrant juice brings robust dark fruit tastes and tartness that pierces through the richness of the meats.
Our top pick: Our bespoke Spicy Cherry Potion or an Organic Blackcurrant Delight are favorites among patrons with our meaty pies.
Mushroom and Truffle enthusiasts: Earthy Beet or Berry Blend from the Forest
Mushrooms and truffles bring earthy, savory depths that are well-suited to juices with complementary undertones. The sweetness and subtle earthy notes of beetroot juice blend beautifully with the flavors of mushrooms and truffles. A juice mixed with forest berries also serves well, with its layers of berry flavors that echo the natural earthiness displayed by the pizza.
Our top pick: Taste our Wild Mushroom pizza alongside our Freshly-Pressed Beetroot Essence or Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood-based Pizza: Zesty Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Blend
Crisp juices that sport mineral qualities are perfect for pizzas topped with shrimp or other seafood. A blend bursting with citrus revitalizes seafood flavors while introducing vibrant uplifting notes to the entire dish. Sea buckthorn juice is also a choice contender with its sharp acidity, exotic flavor profile, and hint of tartness that delicately accompanies seafood toppings.
Our top pick: Complement our Seafood Medley pizza with a Citrus Wave or our Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetable Supreme: Cleansing Green Concoction or Cucumber Melon Mixture
Pizzas with an array of vegetable toppings thrive alongside adaptable, herbal juices. A cleansing green mixture containing spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and lifts the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and other green toppings. The understated freshness and mellow body of cucumber melon juice pair effortlessly with an assortment of vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our top pick: For our Garden Extravaganza pizza, we suggest the Green Detox Daily or Cool Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Silky Almond or Effervescent Apple
A pizza loaded with a four-cheese medley calls for a drink that can either play along or contrast its creaminess. A velvety almond beverage presents nutty nuances that resonate with the cheese's flavor, while an effervescent apple drink cuts through the cheese's richness with its vivacity and tart fruit profile.
Our top pick: Indulge in our Four Cheese masterpiece with either a Vanilla Almond Sip or a Bubbling Apple Orchard blend.
Spicy Pizza Variants: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Infusion
For pizzas spiced up with chili, hot sausage, or fiery honey, juices that are creamy or carry a spice element themselves offer a cooling effect. A mango lassi tempers the heat while its creaminess mitigates the bite. A Ginger Turmeric concoction equally stands up to the heat offering an appealing contrast in flavors and healthful properties.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Diavola pizza meets its perfect match in our own Mango Lassi Creation or the Ginger Turmeric Spark.
Sweet Pizzas: Berry Purée or Almond Chocolate
For the daring patrons sampling our fruit-laden dessert pizzas like Nutella toppings, a saccharine drink is key. Berry smoothies pair superbly with fruit-covered dessert options, while lush almond chocolate milk is a heavenly match for chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The secret lies in choosing a beverage that matches the dessert's sweetness.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry confection is a divine complement to the Berry Medley Blast or a Rich Chocolate Almond Potion.
Guidelines for Selecting Juice and Pizza Combinations
- Pay attention to the main taste of the pizza more than the crust or the sauce
- Tart juices often pair well with tomato-topped pizzas due to the natural acidity of tomatoes
- Bubbly juices suit a wide array of pizzas
- Keep an open mind to experimentation as unusual combinations can yield delightful surprises
