Traditionally, pizza is often paired with soda, but those who are passionate about juices understand that the ideal juice selection can take a pizza meal to extraordinary levels. At CedarStonepk, in collaboration with culinary experts, we've refined a list of juice options that perfectly match our range of pizzas. Whether indulging in a meal at our eatery or enjoying a pizza at home, our curated pairings will guide you to the ideal juice compliment for your selected pizza variety.
Timeless Margherita: Juice with Tomato and Basil or Pomegranate Mixture
The Margherita pizza's pure combination of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and basil requires a beverage that can support without dominating their gentle flavors. A handcrafted tomato and basil juice brings an invigorating tartness corresponding to the tomatoes on the pizza, also providing a robust taste to harmonize with the cheese. On the other hand, a light pomegranate mix introduces a sophisticated red fruit brightness, which heightens the tomatoes' sweetness and flatters the aromatic basil.
Suggested pairing: The Margherita is superbly matched with our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter taste, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
For Pepperoni and Lovers of Meaty Pizzas: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas abundant with cured meat toppings like pepperoni and sausage demand a juice robust and spicy enough to complement their strong taste. The Spiced Cherry juice stands up impressively against the salty and spicy meats with its rich fruity flavor and a zesty kick at the end. Blackcurrant juice is another great option, offering deep, rustic fruit flavors and a tart finish that balances the rich taste of the meat.
Suggested pairing: Our Meat Feast pizza accompanies perfectly with our custom Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Fungi and Truffle Pizzas: Beet or Berry Juice of the Forest
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas need a beverage with earthy notes to match their unique umami richness. Beetroot juice interacts beautifully with the fungi, offering earthy fragrances with a natural sweetness that mitigates its earthy intensity. Forest berry mixes are also ideal, evolving intricate berry notes that aesthetically match the earthy pizza taste.
Suggested pairing: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is sublime with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Berry Forest Medley.
Seafood-Infused Pizzas: Juice Bursting with Citrus or Tart Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas with seafood like clams and prawns, crisp drinks bringing out mineral essence make ideal pairings. A citrus mixture furnishes refreshing nuances that elevate the seafood palates, with vivid zesty overtones alleviating the overall taste profile. Another prime option is Sea Buckthorn juice known for its brilliant tartness and tropical nature, not overtaking the gentle seafood.
Suggested pairing: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza blends delightfully with either our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Supreme Vegetarian Pizzas: Green Detox or Cucumber with Melon
Pizzas bedecked with vegetables array a tapestry of flavors that are well-matched by adaptable, herbaceous juices. A detox green juice, comprising spinach, celery, and apple, resonates with the flavors of a medley of garden toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice offers a unique lightness and freshness that can stand its ground amongst various vegetable flavors without dominating them.
Suggested pairing: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its perfect match with a Daily Green Detox or the coolness of Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Quartet of Cheeses Pizza: Almond or Fizzy Apple
A four-cheese pizza with its richness may either require a pair that complements or contrasts. A velvety almond milk enriches the creamy consistency, intensifying the nutty elements found within the cheeses. Conversely, a carbonated apple juice presents a lively contrast with its effervescence and tartness cutting through the cheese foundation while its fruitiness offers a delightful counterbalance.
Suggested pairing: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is splendidly paired with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Pizzas with a Spicy Kick: Mango Lassi or Juice with Ginger and Turmeric
Pizzas adorned with spices like chili flakes or spicy sauces require a beverage that can offer a soothing or spicy effect. Mango lassi provides cooling relief for the tongue with its smoothness calming the palate in between bites. Alternatively, a Ginger Turmeric juice commendably endures the spiciness while providing an enticing flavor contrast and the added benefit of anti-inflammatory properties.
Suggested pairing: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is complemented by a Homemade Mango Lassi or our invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
For the Dessert Pizza Connoisseur: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate with Almond
Those who dare to enjoy dessert pizzas such as ones with Nutella and fruit will require a sweet drink. Berry smoothies pair well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond milk is a divine coupling with our chocolate-hazelnut varieties. The key is to make sure the beverage is at least as sweet as the dessert pizza itself.
Suggested pairing: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly with a Triple Berry Blast or a rich Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Harmonizing Pizza with Juice
- Reflect on the foremost flavor present on the pizza rather than exclusively the type of crust or sauce.
- Juices with a high acid content are typically successful companions to tomato-based pizzas because of the inherent acidity in tomatoes.
- Carbonated juices are adaptable and can work well with most pizzas.
- Don't shy away from experimenting—occasionally, the most unexpected combinations yield the most lasting memories.
