While carbonated drinks have typically been the go-to match for pizza, those with a passion for juice understand that the ideal juice selection can take a pizza meal to the next level. At MellowFiberGlade, we've teamed up with local connoisseurs to devise a list of juice pairings that flawlessly match our pizza offerings. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our establishment or partaking at home with our takeaway service, these pairings will guide you to the ultimate juice to accompany your preferred pizza variety.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its signature fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that enhances without dominating its subtle flavors. A handcrafted tomato basil juice provides a lively tartness that complements the tomatoes and is robust enough to pair with the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate mix infused with light notes of sweet fruit perfectly accentuates the tomato's sweetness and pairs with the basil's green notes.
Our top pick: We're fond of the Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you have a sweet tooth, a Pomegranate Blueberry fusion crafted locally alongside our Margherita pizza.
Spicy Sausage and Meat Delights: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Hefty pizzas topped with an assortment of cured meats such as spicy sausage or bacon beg for juices with the depth and zestiness to balance the intense flavors. A spiced cherry juice showcases a rich fruitiness with a hint of spice that can stand its ground against the savory and spicy meat. Blackcurrant juice, offering deep berry essence and a tangy endnote, slices through the meats' savoriness.
Our top pick: Patrons especiallylike our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with a slice of our Meat Feast pizza.
Fungi and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Mixed Berries
Pizzas adorned with earthy mushrooms and truffle flavors are best accompanied by juices that exhibit complementary profiles. Beetroot juice, with its gentle earthy hints, is an excellent match for mushroom flavors and balances out the richness. A forest berry blend also provides a rich complexity, echoing the earthy taste of the pizza.
Our top pick: Couple our Wild Mushroom pizza with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Berry Medley.
Oceanic Topped Pizza: Citrus Explosion or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-based pizzas, with toppings like crab or calamari, are perfect with zesty juices that carry mineral undertones. A citrus juice combination is a refreshing choice that enlivens the taste of seafood, while a sea buckthorn juice brings in vibrant tropical notes with a subtle sharpness that doesn't mask the seafood's refined taste.
Our top pick: The aromatic flavors of our Mediterranean Seafood pizza go hand in hand with our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Extravaganza: Green Juice Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas full of vegetable toppings have a wide array of tastes that are supported well by multi-layered, herbaceous juices. A green cleanse juice made up of spinach, celery, and apple emphasizes and augments the flavors of garden-fresh toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice brings a delicate freshness that respects the variation in vegetable textures without overshadowing any of them.
Our top pick: The Garden Harvest pizza pairs seamlessly with our invigorating Daily Green Cleanse or a cool Cucumber Melon Spritzer.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Almond Cream or Sparkling Apple
The luxuriance of a four-cheese pizza can be complemented by a creamy almond beverage that brings forth matching nutty notes, elevating the cheese flavors within. For a different angle, a bubbly apple juice makes for a fresh and tangy pairing, its bubbles and tartness slicing through the cheese's richness, and its fruitiness offering a refreshing contrast to the savory cheese mix.
Our top pick: The Quattro Formaggi pizza paired with a Vanilla Almond Beverage or a bottle of Sparkling Apple Effervescence is delightful.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Drink or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas garnished with fiery elements like hot peppers or spicy deli meats benefit from creamy or zesty juices that offer reprieve from the heat. A creamy mango yogurt drink cools the taste buds and provides soothing relief between spicy bites. A ginger turmeric juice stands up to the fieriness while bringing an engaging flavor contrast and boasts anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top pick: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is superbly matched by a Homemade Mango Yogurt Drink or a Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Pizza Creations: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Adventurous types willing to sample our dessert pizzas smeared with Nutella and topped with fruit will find that sweet juices are key. Berry smoothies echo the toppings on fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and a chocolate almond juice creates a magnificent coupling with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The guiding principle here is to ensure the juice sweetness equals or surpasses that of the dessert itself.
Our top pick: A dish of our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is a slice of paradise when enjoyed with a Triple Berry Blast Smoothie or a Dark Chocolate Almond Juice.
Smart Approaches to Pizza and Juice Harmonization
- Focus on the pizza's predominant taste, not merely its crust or sauce alone.
- Juices with higher acidity often pair well with tomato-centric pizzas due to the inherent tartness of tomatoes.
- 'Bubbly' juices are all-rounders that complement nearly any pizza variation.
- Embrace experimentation—unexpected pairings may lead to the most exceptional gustatory delights.
