Traditionally, carbonated drinks have been the go-to for pizza pairings, but juice aficionados understand that the correct juice can transform a pizza meal into a sublime experience. At PlainShelter, we've worked with culinary experts to craft juice suggestions that are in tune with our offerings. Whether enjoying your pizza in our establishment or savoring it at your home, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice for your cherished pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Beverage or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita's straightforward blend of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil demands a juice that accentuates without dominating its subtle taste profile. A self-made tomato basil drink provides a zesty punch that mirrors the tomatoes' tanginess and has the gusto to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate concoction delivers a sophisticated bouquet of red fruit flavors that amplify the tomato's natural sweetness and fuse well with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We favor a combo of our Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Pleasure or, for a sweeter touch, a regional Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Aficionados: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meat-heavy pizzas with pepperoni, sausage, or bacon call for robust, spicy juices. A jammy, spiced cherry drink, accentuated with a peppery zest, brilliantly complements the cured meats' piquancy and salinity. Blackcurrant juice is also a prime alternative, offering deep, tart fruit flavors that slice through the meats' savoriness.
Our specific recommendation: Our guests especially relish our homemade Spiced Cherry Potion or the Organic Blackcurrant Delight alongside our meat-topped pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Forest Berry
For pizza topped with earthy mushrooms and truffles, opt for juices with similar grounding notes. Beet juice, with understated earthy tones, pairs perfectly with fungal flavors while its inherent sweetness tempers the savoriness. An assorted forest berry juice works equally well, delivering complex berry accents that echo the pizza's earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Earthy Mushroom pizza harmonizes with Pure Beetroot Extract or Mixed Forest Berry Cocktail.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas, such as those adorned with shrimp or mussels, are best served with vibrant juices that bring out their oceanic flavor. A citrus fusion stimulates the taste with a refreshing zing, while Sea buckthorn offers a tropical zest with robust acidity that complements without overshadowing the delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Seafood temptation pairs exquisitely with our Citrus Medley or Pure Sea Buckthorn Extract.
Vegetable Lover's Delight: Green Energizer or Cucumber Melon
Veggie-loaded pizzas benefit from herbal and adaptable juice choices. A green energizer with constituents like spinach, kale, and green apple underscores and uplifts the green pepper, artichokes, and other veggie tastes. Meanwhile, Cucumber melon juice adds a nuanced lightness, standing up to a variety of textures without dominating.
Our specific recommendation: The Vegetable Cornucopia pizza is a match made with our Invigorating Green Elixir or Cool Cucumber Melon Hydration.
Rich Four Cheese Pizza: Velvety Almond or Fizzy Apple
A decadent four-cheese pizza can be complemented or contrasted by the paired juice. Velvety almond milk underscores the cheese with its nutty nuances, while a fizzy apple juice offers a tart contrast, cutting through the cheese's opulence with its bubbles and crisp flavor profile.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese Symphony is divine when paired with Silky Vanilla Almond Beverage or Effervescent Apple Zest.
Fiery Pizzas: Creamy Mango or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a spicy kick from chili, vibrant sausages, or fiery garnishes, soothing creamy or zesty juices are welcome. A creamy mango concoction neutralizes heat while offering a soft cushion between spicy bites. A ginger turmeric tonic stands up to the hotness and provides an intriguing contrast of flavors along with healthful perks.
Our specific recommendation: The Spicy Inferno pizza meets its match with our House Mango Creaminess or Ginger Turmeric Zinger.
Sweet Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Cocoa Almond
Dessert pizza dabblers, ready to sample our sweet confections topped with Nutella and fruits, require equally sweet beverages. A mixed berry smoothie compliments fruity dessert pizzas, and a chocolate almond milk is a celestial pairing with chocolate and hazelnut varieties. It's crucial the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert to maintain balance.
Our specific recommendation: Our Heavenly Nutella and Berry Dessert Pizza become ethereal with a Multi-Berry Blast or Dark Cocoa Almond Drink.
Guidance for Pairing Pizza and Juices
- Focus on the pizza's dominant flavor rather than the crust or sauce type
- Acidic juices are generally compatible with tomato-laden pizzas because of the natural acidity in tomatoes
- Fizzy juices are versatile options that can accompany a myriad of pizzas
- Don't shy away from experimenting—unexpected pairings can lead to unforgettable culinary indulgences
At PlainShelter, we've broadened our juice selection to feature several of these advised compatibilities. Our staff takes pleasure in recommending the optimal juice for your pizza. Additionally, we offer tasting flights comprising three varied juices to sample along with your meal.
While these principles are a guiding light towards harmonious combinations, individual taste should be your lodestar. The best juice to accompany your pizza is ultimately the one that delights your palate the most!
