While fizzy drinks have long been pizza’s classic companion, juice lovers know that choosing the right match can elevate the dining experience. At ArrangeRusticSupport, we’ve teamed up with local experts to offer juice pairings that perfectly complement our menu. Whether you’re dining in or taking it away, these suggestions will help you discover the ideal juice for your preferred pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The simplicity of a Margherita—tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—calls for a juice that won’t overwhelm these delicate flavors. A homemade tomato-basil juice provides bright acidity that mirrors the tomatoes while delivering enough structure to support the cheese. Alternatively, a light-bodied pomegranate blend introduces red fruit notes that enhance the tomatoes’ sweetness and complement the basil’s herbaceousness.
Our specific recommendation: We enjoy pairing Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch more sweetness, a locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas loaded with cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto benefit from juices with body and spice to match their bold flavors. Spiced cherry juice, with its jammy fruit character and peppery finish, pairs beautifully with the saltiness and heat of meat toppings. As an alternative, try blackcurrant juice for rustic dark fruit notes and a tart finish that cuts through the richness of the meats.
Our specific recommendation: Our guests particularly enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, umami-rich flavors of mushrooms and truffles call for juices with similar notes. Beetroot juice offers subtle earthy aromas that pair nicely with fungi flavors. Its natural sweetness helps balance the richness. A forest berry blend also works well, developing berry notes that echo the pizza’s earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Try our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas featuring prawns, clams, or other seafood, crisp juices with mineral notes are ideal partners. A citrus blend provides refreshing qualities that enhance seafood flavors, along with bright notes that lighten the overall experience. Sea buckthorn juice is another excellent option, with high acidity, tropical character, and subtle tartness that won’t overpower delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs beautifully with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-topped pizzas offer a medley of flavors that benefit from versatile, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and enhances the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Cucumber melon juice provides gentle freshness and light body that stands up to various vegetable textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds perfect harmony with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pizza calls for either a complementary or contrastive approach. A creamy almond milk offers nutty notes that complement the cheese blend. For contrast, try a sparkling apple juice—its effervescence and acidity cut through the richness, while its fruity character provides a pleasant counterpoint to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
With pizzas featuring chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey, creamy or spicy juices provide welcome relief. Mango lassi cools the palate with its creamy texture between bites. Ginger turmeric juice also holds up well to heat while offering intriguing flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza finds its match in Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those adventurous enough to try our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet juices are essential. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk makes a divine pairing with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is ensuring the drink is at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs wonderfully with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Consider the dominant flavor on the pizza, not just the type of crust or sauce
- High-acid juices generally work well with tomato-based pizzas due to tomatoes' natural acidity
- Sparkling juices are versatile choices that work with almost any pizza
- Don't be afraid to experiment—sometimes unexpected pairings create the most memorable experiences
