Despite the long-standing tradition of soda as pizza's usual partner, those who adore juices understand that a thoughtfully chosen juice can amplify the pizza eating experience. At EverlastingDiscoveries, we've worked along with local connoisseurs to craft a selection of juice pairings that ideally suit our menu. Whether you're savoring a slice at our eatery or relishing it at your abode, our suggestions will guide you to the flawless juice for your preferred pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A classic Margherita pizza, with its straightforward combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, calls for a beverage that does not shadow these subtle tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice provides a zesty tang that mirrors the tomatoes while holding its own against the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate concoction introduces soft red fruit tones that heighten the tomatoes' sweetness and the basil's green notes.
Specific suggestion: Our Margherita and our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler or a locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix make a delightful pairing.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas brimming with smoked meats like pepperoni or other cured varieties call for beverages that can confront bold flavors. A spicy cherry drink brings forth a rich fruitiness and a zesty kick, perfectly countering the savory and spicy meat layers. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice presents earthy dark fruit undertones and a tangy finish that slices through the meat's succulence.
Specific suggestion: Our Meat Feast pizza is especially favored when matched with our Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The unique, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffles go hand in hand with beverages that share earthy nuances. Beetroot juice, with its understated earthy hints, pairs beautifully with the taste of fungi. Its innate sweetness counterbalances the intensity. A forest berry fusion also excels, producing intricate berry flavors that match the earthy character of the pizza.
Specific suggestion: Our Wild Mushroom pizza harmonizes perfectly with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with marine delights such as prawns or clams, crisp juices with a hint of minerality make the ideal match. A citrus medley delivers rejuvenating qualities that accentuate the seafood's taste, offering brightness to the overall flavor profile. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its vivacious acidity, exotic flair, and subtle sharpness, pairs well without overwhelming the more refined seafood flavors.
Specific suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza gels seamlessly with either our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-centric pizzas enjoy a myriad of tastes, which are complemented by adaptive, herby accent juices. A green cleanse concoction packed with spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and magnifies the flavors of the assorted vegetables. Meanwhile, a light Cucumber Melon blend imparts a subdued freshness that competently supports a mixed vegetable profile without dominating the flavors.
Specific suggestion: The multiplicity of tastes in our Garden Harvest pizza finds its ideal counterpart in Daily Green Cleanse or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The plethora of flavors in a four-cheese pizza can be balanced by either a drink that complements or contrasts the taste. A velvety almond milk offers nutty elements that accentuate the cheese's similar characteristics. In contrast, a fizzy apple juice with its bubbliness and tang slices through the cheesiness, presenting a fruity alternative to the savory richness.
Specific suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza blends superbly with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Smoothie or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas spiced with chili, hot sausage, or fiery honey, cooling or spicy beverages offer a pleasing reprieve. A mango smoothie calms the heat while its creamy texture provides relief between bites. Similarly, a punchy Ginger Turmeric drink stands strong against the heat, offering both a flavor antidote and health advantages.
Specific suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is wonderfully complemented by Homemade Mango Smoothie or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those daring enough to venture into Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, a fittingly sweet beverage is key. A mixed berry smoothie plays nicely with fruit-covered variations, whereas a chocolate almond drink is divine with chocolate and hazelnut combinations. The principle is to ensure the drink's sweetness matches that of the confectionary pizza.
Specific suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when paired with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
