Though soda is often chosen as the go-to drink for pizza, those who love juice are aware that the proper combination can transform a pizza meal into an extraordinary delight. At MediaPortal, we've joined forces with culinary specialists to develop a list of juice pairings that seamlessly match our menu options. Our pairing suggestions are ideal for in-house dining or enjoying at home with our takeout options, assisting you in selecting the most suitable juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Beverage or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza's simple yet delightful combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil benefits from a juice that won't overshadow its subtle tastes. A tomato and basil juice brings the vibrant acidity to match the pizza's tomato content, with a body strong enough to coordinate with the cheese. Alternatively, a pomegranate blend introduces a lighter body with sweet red fruit notes that enhance tomato sweetness and pairs nicely with the basil.
Our recommendation: Our esteemed Tomato Basil Cooler or a locally obtained Pomegranate Blueberry mix is our choice for pairing with the Margherita pizza.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas topped with hearty meats like pepperoni or sausage, you’ll want a juice that displays both substantial body and a hint of spice to stand up to the robust flavors. A spiced cherry juice offers a deep fruit profile coupled with a spicy aftertaste, perfectly complementing the meaty toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice with its rich dark fruit flavors and a tinge of tartness is an excellent choice for slicing through the meat's richness.
Our recommendation: Patrons particularly relish our house-created Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme together with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Mixed Berry Juice
The umami-rich character of mushrooms and truffles pairs well with juices that exhibit similar earthy undertones. Beetroot juice, with its soft earthy flavor, is an excellent complement to mushrooms, and its inherent sweetness helps to even out the taste. Mixed berry juice can be equally delightful, as it introduces complex berry flavors that reflect the earthiness of the pizza.
Our recommendation: Our exotic Wild Mushroom pizza goes perfectly with Beetroot Juice or a Selection of Wild Berries.
Seafood Pizza: Zesty Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Juice
For seafood pizzas that may feature delicacies like prawns or clams, crisp, mineral-rich juices are an ideal match. A zesty citrus juice, with its refreshing and uplifting profile, elevates the flavors of seafood, while sea buckthorn juice adds a high level of acidity and tropical nuances, alongside a subtle sharpness that harmonizes with delicate seafood.
Our recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is sublime when paired with either our refreshing Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Vitalizing Greens or Cucumber Melon Juice
The combination of vegetables on a Supreme pizza can be tastefully accentuated with a juice that carries herbal nuances. A detoxifying green juice comprised of spinach, celery, and apple is a natural choice that echoes the vegetable toppings such as bell peppers and artichokes. A more delicate Cucumber Melon juice also provides a fresh, light touch that aligns with the variety of vegetable flavors without dominating them.
Our recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in harmony with an invigorating Green Detox or a cooling Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond Blend or Fizzy Apple Juice
A pizza that’s generously topped with a variety of cheeses can pair well with alternative juices that provide either a congruent or contrasting profile. An Almond Milk brings forth nutty undertones that can elevate the cheesy flavors, while a sparkling apple juice offers a crisp bite and light acidity that can cut through the richness, creating a delightful contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our recommendation: Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp are our top selections for accompanying our Quattro Formaggi pizza.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Blend
For pizzas with a kick—like those with chili flakes or spicy toppings—a soothing juice such as creamy Mango Lassi can be quite refreshing and mitigates the heat with its cool, smooth texture. A Ginger Turmeric blend stands up well against the heat, offering vibrant contrast and healthful benefits.
Our recommendation: Our zestful Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly complemented by our house-made Mango Lassi or the invigorating Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Juice
For those brave enough to try one of our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, selecting a juice that is equally sweet is key. A mixed berry smoothie offers an affinity for topping your dessert pizza with fruit, while a chocolate almond milk is a divine match for chocolate-hazelnut varieties, providing creamy indulgence.
Our recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine when partnered with our Triple Berry Blast or a Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Suggestions for Selecting Pizza and Juice Combinations
- Focus on the most prominent taste of the pizza rather than just considering the crust or sauce
- Generally, juices with a higher acidity level pair nicely with pizzas that utilize tomato sauce
- Sparkling juices are adaptable and can complement almost any pizza variety
- Experimentation is encouraged—unexpected combinations can often lead to the most delightful experiences
