Although soft drinks have traditionally been the go-to choice with pizza, those who adore juice recognize that an ideal juice selection can take the pizza dining experience to another level. At AtlasNotebookCove, we have worked with culinary specialists in our region to curate juice suggestions that impeccably match our offerings. Be it in the comfort of our restaurant or at your residence with delivery, these pairing ideas will aid you in discovering your ideal juice match for each pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
The elemental nature of a Margherita pizza, comprising fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, necessitates a beverage that does not dominate the subtle tastes. Tomato basil juice complements the tomato's tangy taste while maintaining a strong presence against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a gentle pomegranate concoction contributes complex tones of red fruit that uplift the inherent sweetness of the tomatoes and marry well with the basil.
Our specific suggestion: We favor the Margherita with our house Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter touch, a regionally procured Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavy pizzas laden with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or ham demand beverages with the substance and spice to contend with their robust tastes. The fullness and slightly spicy finish of a spiced cherry beverage boldly counters the meats' saltiness and heat. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice presents a dark berry palate with a satisfyingly tangy finale that cuts through the meat's fat.
Our specific suggestion: Patrons particularly enjoy our custom Spiced Cherry Elixir or an Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The savory, rich flavors of mushrooms and truffle demand companions with depth. The subtle earthy scents of beetroot juice are a perfect match for the umami in fungi, with its natural sweetness offsetting the substantial flavors. A mix of forest berries also makes a great pairing, as it delivers nuanced berry flavors that reflect the mushroom and truffle's earthiness.
Our specific suggestion: Sample our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas topped with seafood like shrimp or clams benefit from clear, mineral-infused drinks. A citrus concoction provides a lively zest that bolsters the seafood flavors while its vibrant notes brighten the meal. Another suitable option is sea buckthorn juice, characterized by high acidity, an exotic flavor profile, and mild sourness which nicely complements the delicate seafood.
Our specific suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is exceptionally paired with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Essence.
Vegetable Supreme: Natural Detox Green or Cucumber Melon
A pizza adorned with vegetables pairs well with a drink that can adapt to its varied flavors and herbal undertones. Green detox juice, which blends spinach, celery, and apple, parallels and intensifies the vibrant tastes of bell peppers and artichokes. Alternatively, the slightly refreshing and delicately bodied Cucumber Melon juice is a subtle match for the vegetable toppings' diversity without overshadowing them.
Our specific suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza fuses flawlessly with a Daily Green Detox or a cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
The indulgence of a four-cheese pizza can be complemented or contrasted in pairings. Creamy almond milk presents a nutty profile that accentuates the cheesy flavors, while an effervescent apple drink, with its fizziness and sharpness, slices through the cheese's opulence and its fruity essence offers an appealing contrast.
Our specific suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza goes splendidly with Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas endowed with hot components like chili flakes, fiery sausage, or spicy honey, creamy or gingerly beverages provide a soothing effect. Mango lassi cools the taste buds while its creamy texture offers relief in between bites. Juice infused with ginger and turmeric holds its own against the spiciness while proffering an interesting flavor contrast and health benefits.
Our specific suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is the perfect companion for our House-Made Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Extract.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those adventurous enough to try our sweet pizzas, such as those with Nutella and fruit, sugary beverages are a perfect match. A mixed berry smoothie pairs well with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk is a divine match for chocolate and hazelnut variations, ensuring that the drink's sweetness complements the dessert.
Our specific suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with a Triple Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
