While cola is typically seen as the classic drink partner for pizza, those passionate about juice know that a carefully-selected juice can lift the pizza dining experience. At CentralInfoNetwork, we've joined forces with culinary specialists to craft juice selections that ideally match our pizzas. Whether eaten at our establishment or in the comfort of your own home, these juice pairing tips will guide you to the ideal drink for your pizza of choice.
Signature Margherita: Tomato Herb Juice or a Pomegranate Fusion
The Margherita pizza's uncomplicated enjoyments of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and aromatic basil need a juice that enhances but does not dominate. A crafted tomato herb juice highlights the tomato's tartness while balancing the mozzarella's creaminess. Moreover, a delicate pomegranate drink adds a sophistication of sweet and herbaceous tones to the mix.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita pairs delightfully with our own Tomato Herb Sip or a locally-manufactured Pomegranate Blueberry drink.
For the Carnivore: Piquant Cherry or Dark Berry
Pizza varieties with a generous helping of meats like pepperoni or ham call for dense, zesty juices that can counteract the meats' potent taste. A piquant cherry drink with its bold fruity essence and a peppery twist pairs well against the meats' saltiness and fat. Alternatively, a dark berry juice with its deep and tart flavor profile can cut nicely through the richness.
Our specific recommendation: Meaty toppings are a match for our home-brewed Piquant Cherry Potion or the Organic Dark Berry Drink with our Meaty Delight pizza.
Fungi and Truffle Varieties: Beetroot Fusion or Berry Medley
The umami forwardness of mushrooms and truffles work well with drinks that have grounding notes. Beetroot juice with its subtle earthiness pairs beautifully with mushrooms, while its innate sweetness contrasts the savoriness perfectly. Berry mixes cater to these flavors too, as they unveil complementary complexity in taste.
Our specific recommendation: Partake in our Earthy Mushroom pizza together with our Fresh-Extracted Beetroot Drink or the Berry Forest concoction.
Seafood Pizza: Zesty Citrus or Tart Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas topped with seafood like shrimp or mussels benefit from tangy, crisp juices that mimic oceanic freshness. The invigorating kick of citrus juice lights up seafood's intrinsic flavors, whereas sea buckthorn, with its rich acidity and hint of tang, parallels the ocean fare without overwhelming it.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Delight pizza tastes sublime with our Zesty Citrus Mixture or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Drink.
Garden Vegetable: Herbal Green or Cooling Cucumber
Pizzas adorned with an array of garden vegetables find accord with drinks that carry herbal undertones. A detox juice with ingredients like spinach and celery elevates bell peppers and artichokes, while cucumber-infused drinks provide a crisp, refreshing flavor without obscuring the vegetables' natural tastes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Lush Vegetable pizza is harmonized with our Daily Herbal Detox or Cool Cucumber Melon.
Quattro Formaggio: Nutty Almond or Crisp Apple
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza is well-suited to drinks that either complement or cut through its richness. Almond milk provides a nutty complement that resonates with the cheese, while a fizzy apple juice offers a contrasting crispness and acid that balances the cheesy decadence.
Our specific recommendation: Find joy in our Four-Cheese pizza with a Vanilla-infused Almond Drink or a Bubbly Apple kind.
Fiery Pizzas: Cooling Mango or Spiced Ginger
Pizzas with fiery toppings like jalapeños or spicy pepperoni can be tamed with soothing, creamy or alternatively, spicy drinks. A cooling mango lassi offers a creamy reprieve from heat, and a ginger turmeric drink can stand up to the spiciness while providing interesting flavor complexity and wellness perks.
Our specific recommendation: Our Hot Inferno pizza is perfectly cooled down with our Homemade Mango Smoothie or the Zingy Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Sweet Dessert Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or Chocolate-infused Almond
For those sampling our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruit, sweet drinks are a must. A berry smoothie matches wonderfully with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and a chocolate almond drink is a divine complement to chocolate-hazelnut pairings. The key is to match the beverage's sweetness to the dessert's level.
Our specific recommendation: Our Berry and Chocolate Dessert Pizza is heavenly when enjoyed with the Berry Smoothie Blast or the Rich Chocolate Almond Drink.
