Although soda is typically the go-to drink for pizza, those passionate about juice understand the potential of a great juice pairing to take a pizza meal to new flavorful heights. At CalmGrovePark, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we've devised juice recommendations that beautifully accent our pizza offerings. These pairing tips are perfect for enhancing your dine-in or at-home pizza feasting with an ideal juice choice to match every type of pizza.
Conservative Margherita: Tomato Basil Fusion or Pomegranate Twist
A Margherita pizza's subtle flavors of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil require a juice that doesn't overshadow these elements. Crafting a tomato basil juice at home can mirror the tangy notes of the tomato and confidently hold up against the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate beverage with a lighter body offers bright notes of red fruit that sweeten the tomato taste and enhance the flavorful basil.
Our particular suggestion: Our signature Tomato Basil Blend or a refreshing Pomegranate Blueberry Fusion available locally are excellent choices with our Margherita.
Hearty Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Zesty Cherry or Blackcurrant Infusion
Heavily topped meat pizzas like those with pepperoni, sausage, or ham pair best with robust and spicy juices. A zesty cherry concoction's sweet and spicy profile matches well against the cured meats' savory and hot flavors. A blackcurrant juice is another great option, providing deep berry tones with a tart finish that counters the meaty richness.
Our particular suggestion: Our home-crafted Zesty Cherry Zing or Organic Blackcurrant Essence matches our Meat Deluxe pizza superbly.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beet Delight or Forest Berries Mix
The rich umami taste of mushroom and truffle pizzas is aptly met with juices carrying similar earthy undertones. Beet juice's subtle earthy fragrances pair wonderfully with the taste of mushrooms, and the natural sweetness helps neutralize the heaviness. Alternatively, a juice made from an assortment of forest berries can mirror the earthy depth of the pizza.
Our particular suggestion: Opt for our Exotic Mushroom pizza accompanied by Fresh Beet Extract or an Assorted Forest Berry Nectar.
Refreshing Seafood Pizza: Citrus Essence or Sea Buckthorn Juice
The mineral notes and sharpness of citrus or sea buckthorn juices offer refreshing pairings for seafood-topped pizzas. A citrus blend revives the palates with a light touch that accentuates the seafood taste while sea buckthorn brings forth vibrant acidity and a light tartness that complements without concealment.
Our particular suggestion: Our Coastal Delight pizza marries well with our Citrus Essence Juice or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Mix.
Verdant Vegetable Supreme: Green Refresh or Subtle Cucumber Melon
The array of flavors atop vegetable pizzas best harmonize with herbal and adaptable juices. A detoxifying green juice incorporating spinach, celery, and apples, resounds and bolsters the tastes of peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. A juice with cucumber and melon provides a restrained freshness that complements without overpowering.
Our particular suggestion: Our Veggie Bounty pizza aligns perfectly with our Daily Green Cleanse or Light Cucumber Melon Drink.
Intense Four Cheese Pizza: Almond Cream or Bubbly Apple
Four-cheese pizza, with its dense texture, calls for a juice that either complements or contrasts. Creamy almond drink delivers nutty undertones that echo the cheesy richness. For a contrasting taste, try bubbly apple juice—its light fizz and acidity contrast with the pizza's savoriness, while its fruitiness acts as a delightful counterbalance.
Our particular suggestion: Our Quattro Cheese pizza goes hand in hand with Silky Almond Shake or Effervescent Apple Spritz.
Fiery Spicy Pizzas: Smooth Mango Lassi or Vigorous Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick, like those with chili peppers or hot sauces, creamy or fiery juices provide calming balance. Mango lassi brings coolness and a creamy consistency that eases the heat, while a ginger turmeric blend counters the fire with its own spiciness, and offers a flavor contrast with healthful benefits.
Our particular suggestion: Our Fiery Inferno pizza is perfectly paired with our Handcrafted Mango Lassi or Gingery Turmeric Stimulant.
Sweet Dessert Pizza: Berried Smoothie or Chocolatey Almond
For those indulging in dessert pizzas topped with Nutella and fruit, sweet beverages are key. Berry smoothies supplement fruit-topped desserts, and a chocolatey almond drink complements variations with chocolate and hazelnut. The essential factor is for the beverage to match the sweetness level of the pizza.
Our particular suggestion: Relish our Strawberry & Nutella Sweet Pizza with our Berry Fusion Smoothie or Rich Chocolate Almond Drink.
