Though soda has been the go-to drink for pizza parties for many years, those passionate about juice recognize that choosing the perfect juice pairing can take a pizza meal from ordinary to exceptional. At PaperHarborGarden, we've joined forces with culinary experts in the area to devise a list of juice pairings that flawlessly accompany our array of pizzas. No matter if you're enjoying a meal at our locale or at your residence, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice match for your preferred type of pizza.
Straightforward Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
The uncomplicated taste of Margherita pizza—characterized by succulent tomatoes, velvety mozzarella, and aromatic basil—warrants a juice that doesn't overshadow these subtle elements. A homemade tomato basil juice brings forth a vibrant tang that ties in with the tomatoes whilst presenting enough substance to counterbalance the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate creation with a light body introduces refined red berry notes that embellish the tomatoes' sweetness and marry well with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our signature Tomato Basil Chiller pairs delightfully with our Margherita, or try a regionally procured Pomegranate Blueberry mix for a sweeter taste.
For Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
To match pizzas brimming with savoury meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or ham, opt for juices with a robust body and a zestful kick. A spicy cherry concoction charms with its rich fruity essence and a lively spark, standing strong against the hearty and zesty meat toppings. Blackcurrant juice serves as an alternative, bearing a lush dark fruit flavor palette with a pleasantly sharp edge that slices through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons particularly favor our exclusive Spiced Cherry Potion or Organic Blackcurrant Delight with our Hearty Meat pizza.
Fungi and Truffle Lovers: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Pizzas that celebrate the earthly and savory tastes of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices sharing a congruent profile. Beetroot juice reveals refined earthy aromas which beautifully tie in with the flavors of the fungi, while its inherent sweetness offers a balance to their richness. Similarly, a juice blend featuring forest berries works wonders, crafting complex berry nuances that reflect the earth-centric notes of the pizza toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Our Exotic Mushroom pizza goes hand-in-hand with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Extract or the Wild Forest Berry Assortment.
Seafood Special: Citrus Twist or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with seafood like shrimp, clams, or other marine delights, crisp juices conveying mineral-like notes are the perfect mates. Citrus juices bring a rejuvenating element that uplifts sea flavours, coupled with zesty hints that lighten up the tasting experience. Sea buckthorn juice emerges as another prime option, acclaimed for its tangy intensity, exotic essence, and subtle zest that holds up without overshadowing the seafood's delicate tastes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Seafood pizza blends exquisitely with either our Citrus Twist or Pure Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Primavera Pizza: Green Detox Juice or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas loaded with a variety of vegetables benefit from flexible, herbal-tinted juices. A green detox concoction integrating spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and augments the taste profiles of bell peppers, artichokes, and other greens. Likewise, cucumber melon juice presents a restrained freshness and delicate constitution that harmonizes well with the diversity of the vegetables without overwhelming.
Our specific recommendation: Our Vegetable Bounty pizza pairs in unison with the Daily Green Detox or the Refreshing Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Quartet of Cheese: Velvety Almond or Sparkling Apple
The opulent composition of a four-cheese pizza suits well with either a harmonizing or contrasting approach. Velvety smooth almond milk offers a mellow nuttiness that echoes and accentuates the cheeses' personality. Alternatively, a bubbling apple juice utilizes its liveliness and tartness to slice through the indulgence, with its fruit-forward nature supplying a pleasing contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Cheese Delight pizza is compatible with Vanilla Essence Almond Milk or Carbonated Apple Burst.
For the Heat-Seekers: Mango Blend or Ginger Turmeric
Facing pizzas that are a hotbed of spices, such as those dashed with chili, spicy meats, or fiery honey, selecting a creamy or piquant juice can offer a comforting reprieve. A mango blend cools the sensation while its creamy quality provides relief between bites. Ginger turmeric juice holds its own against the spiciness and offers a thought-provoking flavor contrast, along with wellness benefits due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza meets its match with the House-crafted Mango Silk or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Fusion.
Sweet Slice: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the bold who partake in sweet pizzas such as a Nutella and fruit creation, succulent juices are a must. Berry smoothies mirror the flavors of fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk partners sublimely with a chocolate and hazelnut variety. The chief concern is to assure that the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the confection itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Berry and Chocolate Dream pizza is heavenly when paired with the Triple Berry Fusion or Intense Chocolate Almond Bliss.
Suggestions for Pairing Pizza with Juice
