Though carbonated drinks have often been the go-to match for pizza, juice connoisseurs affirm that the accurate choice in juice can make your pizza indulgence all the more exceptional. At UrbanLibrary, in collaboration with culinary specialists, we've devised a selection of juice pairings that perfectly accentuate our pizzas. Whether it's a dine-in session or a takeaway treat, these suggestions will assist in selecting the ideal juice for your preferred pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza's simple yet rich flavors of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil necessitate a juice that can enhance without dominating. A handcrafted tomato basil juice presents a fresh zing and the body needed to align with the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate mix introduces refined red fruit tones that boost the tomato sweetness and marry well with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: The house favorite Margherita blends seamlessly with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, for those who prefer a hint of sweetness, our locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
The robustness of pizzas topped with cured meats like pepperoni or sausage calls for a juice that has the substance and spice to play along. A spiced cherry juice, teeming with ripe fruit flavor and a spicy kick, aligns perfectly with the salty and spicy meat. As an alternative, blackcurrant juice delivers deep dark fruit flavors and a tart edge to cut the fat.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons often opt for our handcrafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with the Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles carry an umami and woodland depth calling for juices with a similar profile. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthiness, complements the fungi, and its inherent sweetness balances the overall richness. A forest berry medley, with its complex berry undertones, echoes the earthiness of such pizzas.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is best enjoyed with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or clams, crisp mineral juices become the ideal match. A citrus infusion brings a refreshing profile that bolsters the seafood flavors and lightens the dish. Sea buckthorn juice, with its vibrant acidity and tropical nuance, is also a fitting selection that suits the delicate seafood without overpowering it.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is impeccably paired with our very own Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Veggie-laden pizzas enlist an array of tastes that require adaptable, herb-like juices. A green detox juice, swarming with spinach, celery, and apple, echoes the flavors of the vegetables while a cucumber melon juice provides a subtle freshness and a light touch that maintains the integrity of the varied textures.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza harmonizes perfectly with the Daily Green Detox or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresher.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza with its luxurious texture invites either a congruent or contrasting liquid accompaniment. Creamy almond milk with its nutty undertones echoes the richness of the cheeses while a fizzy apple juice, with its tartness and bubbles, cuts through the decadence, offering a welcome contrast.
Our specific recommendation: The Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully complemented by Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas laced with heat through chili flakes or spicy meats, juices that are creamy or have a spicy undertone provide relief. A mango lassi tempers the spice with its creaminess while a ginger turmeric juice stands up to the heat while offering a contrasting flavor and healthful benefits.
Our specific recommendation: The Spicy Diavola pizza matches well with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Dessert pizzas decked with Nutella and fruits yearn for complementary sweet beverages. A berry smoothie envelops fruit-topped pizzas while a chocolate almond beverage is divine with chocolatey spreads, making sure it's as sweet as the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: The Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine when accompanied by a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
