Traditionally, pizza's go-to Juice drink partner has been soda, but juice connoisseurs are aware that selecting the appropriate juice can take a pizza meal to unexpected culinary heights. At PlainPromenade, our collaboration with culinary specialists has yielded a range of juice recommendations that perfectly accentuate our diverse pizza offerings. Whether savoring a meal in our dining space or opting for the comfort of your residence, these proposals will assist you in discovering the ideal juice complement for your preferred pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Juice with Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its elemental blend of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, necessitates a juice that is subtle enough not to overshadow these mild ingredients. A homemade juice that merges tomato with the scent of basil offers a refreshing tang that mirrors the pizza's tomato while having sufficient depth to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a light pomegranate concoction introduces a sophisticated red fruit character that sweetens the tomato notes and pairs well with the fragrant basil.
Our personalized selection: Our house signature Tomato Basil Cooler is the perfect accompaniment for our Margherita, or choose a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local sources for a sweeter touch.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas topped with robust cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto, select juices with the richness and spice to match the assertive flavors. The robustness of spiced cherry juice, with its fruit-forward profile and a hint of spice, counters the salinity and heat of the meat toppings admirably. Blackcurrant juice is also a good alternative, delivering deep berry flavors and a tart edge that can slice through the meat's savory taste.
Our personalized selection: Patrons are particularly fond of pairing our house-created Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Juice
Mushroom and truffle-flavored pizzas are best complemented by beverages that reflect their earthy, savory characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its mild earthy notes, superbly complements mushroom flavors and its inherent sweetness stands up to the richness. Or try a forest berry blend, where deep, complex berry flavors provide a natural affinity with the earthy undertones of these pizzas.
Our personalized selection: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is perfectly matched with a Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Infusion or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Crisply flavored juices with mineral essences are the ideal pair for pizzas adorned with seafood, like prawns or clams. A citrus infusion refreshes the palate and brings out the seafood's flavors with its lively zest, while sea buckthorn juice with its noticeable acidity and tropical notes provides a subtle tartness that does not overpower the seafood's finesse.
Our personalized selection: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes exceptionally well with either our Citrus Infusion or an Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Wellness Juice or Cool Cucumber Melon
Pizzas laden with garden veggies benefit from herbal and versatile juices. A 'Green Wellness' juice that blends spinach, celery, and green apple complements and enhances the flavor profile of bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetable toppings. Alternatively, cucumber melon juice offers a refreshing undercurrent and lightness that works well with a variety of vegetable-based pizzas.
Our personalized selection: Our Garden Harvest pizza pairs excellently with a Daily Green Wellness drink or a refreshing Cucumber Melon Juice.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond Milk or Effervescent Apple
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza demands a drink that either complements or contrasts its flavors. Nutty-flavored almond milk echoes the cheesy taste, enhancing the cheese blend's inherent flavors. For a refreshing contrast, opt for an effervescent apple beverage—its bubbles and tartness slice through the cheesy richness, with a fruity undertone that stands in delicious relief against the savory cheese.
Our personalized selection: A Vanilla Almond Milk or an Apple Effervescent Juice makes for a delightful combination with our Quattro Formaggi pizza.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
In the face of pizzas imbued with chili flakes, fiery sausages, or zesty honey, juices with a creamy consistency or spice provide a soothing balance. A Mango Lassi cools and calms with its creamy texture, while a Ginger Turmeric Juice counters the spice with its bold flavor and offers healthful benefits with its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our personalized selection: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is ideally partnered with a Homemade Mango Lassi or a Firefly Ginger Turmeric Juice.
Dessert Pizza: Berried Smoothie or Nutty Chocolate Milk
Adventurous diners willing to sample Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas will find harmonious allies in sweet juices. A mixed berry smoothie aligns with the sweetness of fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond milk is a divine pairing for variations featuring chocolate and hazelnut. The goal is for the accompanying beverage to match the dessert's sweetness level.
Our personalized selection: Enjoy our Strawberry Nutella Dessert Pizza alongside a Triple Berry Blast or savor the richness with Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidelines for Pairing Pizza with Juice
- Centre your choice on the prevailing flavor of the pizza, rather than the crust or sauce type
- Acidic juices often complement tomato-based pizzas since tomatoes themselves are acidic
- Effervescent juices offer versatility and can pair with nearly any pizza
- Be open to experimentation – sometimes the most unexpected combinations yield the most delightful experiences
At PlainPromenade, we've enriched our selection of juices to encompass many of the pairings mentioned above. Our staff delights in recommending the consummate juice to accompany your pizza preference. We also extend an option to indulge in a juice flight that permits sampling of three distinct juices alongside your dish.
It's important to remember that while these recommendations can guide you toward flavor harmony, your own taste preferences take precedence. The finest juice pairing for your pizza is, without a doubt, the one that you most enjoy sipping!
