Historically, soft drinks have been the go-to choice for pizza pairing, but juice connoisseurs are aware that the ideal juice choice can enhance a pizza meal significantly. At Crust & Craft Pizzeria, we have worked with culinary specialists to develop suggestions for juice combinations that perfectly accentuate our pizzas. These recommended pairings are designed to complement your pizza whether you are enjoying a meal in our establishment or at home.
For a Classic Margherita: Opt for Tomato Basil Extract or Pomegranate Selection
A basic Margherita pizza with its tender tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil demands a juice that can embrace these fine tastes without overshadowing them. A self-made tomato basil infusion offers a sharp tang that provides a counterbalance for the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate concoction with a mild body delivers refined fruits notes that appeal to the sweetness of the tomatoes and the aromatic basil.
What we recommend: Our signature Tomato Basil Refresher or perhaps a locally obtained Pomegranate Blueberry mix makes a delightful team with our classic Margherita.
Pepperoni or Meat Feast: Choose Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavily topped pizzas with varieties of cured meats like pepperoni or sausage crave juices with enough intensity and spiciness to match the bold taste. A spiced cherry drink provides jam-like fruit flavors and a spicy kick that holds its own against these strong meaty elements. Blackcurrant provides a robust dark fruit flavor with a tart finish that provides a palate cleanse from the rich meats.
What we suggest: Guests are particularly fond of our Spiced Cherry Tonic or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme paired with our Meat Feast specialty.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Fusion
Earthy, savory mushrooms and truffles seek out drinks with similar earthy undertones. Beetroot juice with its subtle ground aromas aligns with the mushroom and truffle flavors and its sweetness levels the savory taste. A medley of forest berries also fare well as they produce layered berry aromas that resonate with the earthiness of the pizza.
What we propose: Partner our Wild Mushroom pizza with a Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or indulge in a Wild Forest Berry Assortment.
Seafood Pizza: A Refreshing Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
The delicate flavors of seafood-topped pizzas like those with prawns and clams are best supplemented with crisp, minerally juices. A citrus concoction brings a zestiness that accentuates the seafood, while sea buckthorn with its sharpness and tropical overtones adds an exotic taste without overpowering the dish.
What we endorse: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is perfectly matched with our Citrus Fizz or Organic Sea Buckthorn Extract.
Vegetable Greatest Hits: Opt for Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Serenity
Pizzas topped with a range of vegetables are enhanced by versatile juices with a herb-like quality. A green detox potion blending spinach, celery, and apple acts as an echo to the flavors presented by bell peppers and artichokes. Juice featuring cucumber and melon grants a barely-there freshness and a weightlessness that doesn't drown out the vegetable medley.
What we advocate: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in perfect synchrony with the Daily Green Cleanse or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Soothe.
Quartet Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple Essence
Deep-flavored four-cheese pizzas might be coupled with a drink that brings nutty flavors, such as a creamy almond beverage that echoes the cheese profile, or a contrasting option like a fizzy apple essence that offers a sparkling lightness and tart contrast to the savory pizza.
What we commend: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza goes splendidly with a Vanilla Almond Drink or a bubbly Apple Crisp.
For Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Potion
Pizzas with a spicy temperament, seasoned with items like chili or hot toppings, require smooth or zesty juices like a mango lassi that calms taste buds or a bracing ginger turmeric potion that not only stands strong against the zest but also offers health benefits.
What we prescribe: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is well suited with our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Juice.
Dessert Pizzas: Opt for a Berry Frost or Silky Chocolate Almond
Our novelty Nutella and fruit pizza delights call for sugary drinks. A mixed berry frost pairs wonderfully with a fruit-topped dessert pizza, while a silky chocolate almond beverage creates an indulgent experience with a chocolate and hazelnut blend. Ensure the sweetness of the drink matches that of the pizza.
What we advocate: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly combined with a Triple Berry Whip or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
