Even though soda might be the classic drink choice for enjoying with pizza, those who adore juice recognize that the correct juice blend can elevate the entire pizza dining experience. At CitrusSeedMarket, our collaboration with culinary specialists has led to a curated list of juice matches that are in perfect harmony with our array of pizzas. No matter if you're joining us on-site for a meal or savoring our pizzas at your place, these tailored suggestions will assist you in selecting the most suitable juice for your preferred pizza flavor.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's refined taste of fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes invites a juice that doesn't overshadow these subtle notes. A from-scratch tomato basil juice delivers a lively tartness that resonates with the tomatoes, yet stands firm against the gooey cheese. For an alternate choice, a soft pomegranate fusion offers a gentle red fruit taste enhancing the tomato's inherent sweetness and harmonizing with the basil's green notes.
Expert Suggestion: The Margherita pizza and our signature Tomato Basil Cooler are a delightful match, but for a fruity twist, our locally made Pomegranate Blueberry fusion is a sweet accompaniment.
For Meat Fans: Pepperoni and Meaty Selections: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas brimming with savories like pepperoni or ham call for juices robust and spicy enough to echo their intense flavors. A Spiced Cherry concoction, embracing both the sweetness of cherries and a peppery kick, is perfectly suited to counteract the hearty meats' saltiness and spice. Blackcurrant juice, on the other hand, serves up deep, dark fruit tastes and a refreshingly tart edge that slashes through the meats' fattiness.
Specific Preference: Our Spiced Cherry Elixir, crafted in-house, or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are favorites to enjoy with our bountiful Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Wonders: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles with their distinctive umami and earthy flavors are best complemented by juices that offer similar earthy profiles. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy scents and natural sweetness, balances the richness of these toppings. A juice blend of forest berries is also an excellent match, with complex notes that mirror the natural depth of mushrooms and truffles.
We suggest: Select our Wild Mushroom pizza with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or opt for the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-laced pizzas like those topped with shrimps or other sea delights marry well with zesty juices that carry mineral hints. A bright citrus medley brings revitalizing qualities to the forefront, enhancing the taste of seafood, while the fresh, light notes contribute to a more balanced tasting experience. Sea Buckthorn juice is another superb choice; its sprightly acidity and exotic flavor profile, along with a gentle tartness, pair well without overshadowing the taste of more delicate seafood ingredients.
Pairing Vision: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is an excellent companion to our invigorating Citrus Medley or our naturally tart Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
For Veggie Lovers: Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas buried in vegetables present a tapestry of flavors that go well with adaptable, herbal juices. A green detox juice, blending spinach, celery, and apple, captures and elevates the flavor profile of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice presents a muted freshness and airy body that doesn't protest against the assorted textures of the vegetables.
Top Selection: Our Garden Harvest pizza is a harmonious match for either our Daily Green Detox or the cool sip of Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Nutty Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza with its decadence requires a drink that can either complement or provide a stark contrast. Nutty almond milk presents a creamy base with undertones that echo the cheese flavor profiles. Alternatively, sparkling apple juice with its bubbling acidity and apple sweetness slices through the creaminess and is a refreshing counterbalance to the savory cheese mix.
Our Suggestion: The Quattro Formaggi pizza goes beautifully with a Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Selections: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas, decked with chili, spicy sausage, or fiery honey, work hand in hand with creamy or gentle spicy juices. A Mango Lassi's creaminess and rich texture offer a cooling effect, soothing the taste buds between spicy morsels. A ginger turmeric juice is compatible with such heat, while providing a captivating flavor variation and benefits like anti-inflammation.
Perfect Match: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is impeccably paired with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the fiery Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Are you up for trying our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruits? If so, indulgent, sweet beverages are the way to go. Mixed berry smoothies are ideal alongside fruit-covered desserts, while chocolate almond milk creates a luscious pairing with sweet-and-nutty pizza creations. Make sure the beverage is equally if not more sweet than the dessert.
Pairing Hero: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine when served with a Triple Berry Blast or luxuriously sweet Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
