Although carbonated drinks are often the go-to partner for pizza, those who appreciate a good juice understand that a well-matched juice can greatly enhance the enjoyment of pizza. At SliceOrbit, we have teamed up with local connoisseurs to curate a lineup of juice recommendations that wonderfully complement our offerings. These curated juice selections are perfect whether you're savoring your pizza at our establishment or in the comfort of your own home.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
The classic flavors of a Margherita pizza, with its vibrant tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, are best paired with a juice that is unobtrusive yet complementary. A tomato basil juice crafted at home can provide a bright tang to match the tomatoes and a robust presence to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate juice with a lighter body offers notes of elegant red fruit that sweeten the tomatoes and meld with the basil's freshness.
Our unique suggestion: Our Margherita and the exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler create a delightful combination, while a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local sources is a sweeter alternative.
Pepperoni and Over-the-Top Meat Selections: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Hearty pizzas laden with rich cured meats such as pepperoni and sausage call for a juice that has the substance and a touch of spice to contend with the strong flavors. A cherry juice with a hint of spice and a jam-like essence carries through against the savory spiciness of meat toppings well. Or you could opt for blackcurrant juice, presenting deep dark fruit tastes and a refreshingly tart finish that slices through the meat's unctuousness.
Our unique suggestion: Our signature Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are favorites to accompany our hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Berry Medley from the Forest
For a pizza infused with the umami and earthy essence of mushrooms and truffles, opt for juices that echo these characteristics. Beetroot juice with subtle earthiness pairs splendidly with the taste of mushrooms, and its innate sweetness tempers the richness. A juice with a mixture of forest berries is equally befitting, as it develops a complexity that respects the pizza's inherent earthiness.
Our unique suggestion: Pair our Wild Mushroom pizza with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a serving of Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Delicacies from the Sea Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
To go with pizzas topped with delicacies like seafood, light and mineral juices are indispensable. A citrus juice blend brings an invigorating taste that enhances the flavors of the seafood, while bright notes help balance the palate. Sea buckthorn juice, acclaimed for its lively tartness and tropical tones, is another noteworthy choice that accompanies the delicate nature of seafood without overshadowing it.
Our unique suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes hand in hand with either our invigorating Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Hearty Vegetable Pizza: Fresh Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
A vegetable-laden pizza boasts a variety of tastes that are ideally partnered with herb-inflected juices. A detox juice infused with greens like spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and intensifies the flavors of ingredients like bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, juice with a cucumber melon blend provides a mellow freshness and a light texture that complements the diverse veggies without overwhelming them.
Our unique suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its match with either the invigorating Daily Green Detox or the cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Quartet Cheese Pizza: Almond Creaminess or Effervescent Apple
The sumptuous nature of a pizza featuring four types of cheese demands either a congruent or contrasting juice. A smooth almond milk brings forth nutty flavors that play well with the cheeses. Alternatively, a bubbly apple juice with its effervescence and acidity can cut through the indulgence, and its fruity sweetness serves as an appealing contrast to the savory cheese blend.
Our unique suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pairs divinely with either the Vanilla Almond Milk or the lively Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Heat-Packed Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas that bring heat with chili peppers or spicy toppings, juices that are creamy or possess an element of spice bring much-needed relief. A mango lassi cools the palate with its creaminess offering respite between the hot bites. A ginger turmeric concoction also stands up gallantly to the heat, presenting a captivating flavor contrast with additional health benefits.
Our unique suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza aligns flawlessly with a Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Grand Finale Pizza: Berry-based Smoothie or Cocoa Almond
For the adventurous who indulge in dessert pizzas like those with Nutella and fruit, selecting the right juice plays a vital role. Berry smoothies are perfect for fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk is a heavenly pairing for chocolate and hazelnut spreads. The important factor is ensuring the drink matches or exceeds the sweetness of the dessert itself.
Our unique suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is an absolute delight when accompanied by the Triple Berry Blast or Deep Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidelines for Matching Pizza with Juice
- Focus on the pizza's main flavor profile rather than the type of crust or sauce
- Juices with a high acidity level generally pair well with tomato-centric pizzas due to the similar acidic notes in tomatoes
- Bubbly juices are versatile choices that complement nearly any type of pizza
- Exploring new combinations is encouraged – sometimes the most unexpected pairings yield the most remarkable flavors
