While fizzy drinks are traditionally seen as the go-to partner for pizza, those who adore juices understand that a well-chosen juice can enhance the pizza dining experience. At GlobalCommunity, we've teamed up with local connoisseurs to devise juice recommendations that make an ideal match for our pizzas. Whether you're dining with us or getting your pizza to go, these suggestions will assist in selecting the best juice for your preferred pizza variant.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's classic combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil pairs well with a juice that doesn't overshadow its subtle tastes. Homemade tomato basil juice, with its sharp tang, echoes the tomato flavors while standing up to the mozzarella. Alternatively, a pomegranate juice with a lighter body introduces a refined berry taste that sweetens and complements the basil's fresh notes.
Our particular suggestion: Our signature Margherita is perfect with our Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas brimming with cured meats like pepperoni or sausage welcome juices with a robust body and a hint of spice. A spiced cherry juice brings a fruity richness with a spicy kick that counterbalances the meats' saltiness. Blackcurrant juice is another option that provides earthy berry flavors and a tart finish that slices through the fatty meats.
Our particular suggestion: Our patrons often favor our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The complex, umami properties of mushrooms and truffles demand juices with similar depth. Beetroot juice, subtle and earth-toned, pairs exquisitely with mushroom flavors, offsetting the richness. A forest berry mixture also succeeds with its intricate berry profile that reflects the earthiness of the toppings.
Our particular suggestion: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a match for our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or clams, zesty juices with mineral undertones are outstanding choices. A citrus juice blend provides a refreshing zest, brightening the seafood flavors, while sea buckthorn juice offers a high acidity and exotic flair with just the right amount of tartness.
Our particular suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes wonderfully with our Citrus Fusion or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas laden with vegetables benefit from adaptable, herbal-infused juices. A green detox juice with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple underscores and amplifies the taste of vegetables. Cucumber melon juice delivers a whisper of freshness and a light zest that navigates the diverse textures of the vegetables.
Our particular suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza pairs seamlessly with our Daily Green Cleanse or Cooled Cucumber Melon Refreshment.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The luxuriant profile of a four-cheese pizza requires a drink that either complements or contrasts it. A creamy almond milk brings forth comforting nutty flavors that resonate with the cheese. On the other hand, a bubbly apple juice, with its tangy bite and effervescence, slices through the creaminess, while its sweetness offers a fine contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our particular suggestion: We find our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs excellently with our Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick, like those with fiery spices or zesty toppings, soothing creamy or zestily spiced juices are a welcomed addition. Mango lassi offers cooling respite and a smooth texture that calms the palate, while a ginger turmeric juice can hold its own against the spice and adds an enticing flavor contrast with healthful benefits.
Our particular suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza complements well with our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Blend or Chocolate Almond
For the daring types sampling our Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, sweet juices are essential. A mixed berry smoothie goes hand in hand with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk partners divinely with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is to match the sweetness level of the dessert.
Our particular suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert pizza is divine with our Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidelines for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Focus on the predominant flavors in the pizza rather than just the crust or sauce
- High-acid juices often pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the inherent acidity in tomatoes
- Bubbly juices offer a flexible pairing for almost any style of pizza
- Embrace experimentation—unexpected combinations can yield the most unforgettable tastes
At GlobalCommunity, we've curated a juice assortment that includes many of these suggested pairings. Our team is more than happy to help you select the ideal juice to go with your pizza. We even offer tasting flights with a trio of different juices to enjoy with your meal.
Keep in mind, while these recommendations can guide you towards pleasing combinations, your own taste preferences should take precedence. The most satisfying juice for your pizza is ultimately the one that delights your taste buds the most!
