Although sodas are traditionally favored with pizza, those with a passion for juice know that the proper selection can enhance the enjoyment of pizza. At BoundlessImagination, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we have conceived a list of juice pairings that serve as the perfect complement to our pizza offerings. No matter if you're savoring our dishes at the restaurant or taking them home, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice choice for your preferred type of pizza.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or a Blend of Pomegranate
A Margherita pizza's simple combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil is best complemented by a juice that doesn’t dominate these subtle flavors. Preparing a homemade tomato basil juice provides a lively acidity akin to the tomatoes and a firm taste that stands up to the mozzarella. Alternatively, a pomegranate juice blend, light in texture, introduces graceful notes of red fruit that increase the tomato's natural sweetness and match the aromatic basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita is perfectly paired with our crafted Tomato Basil Cooler or for a touch of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice sourced locally.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
For a pizza covered with hearty cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or ham, one needs a juice with sufficient richness and a touch of spice to balance out the powerful flavors. A cherry juice with a bit of spice and a jam-like fruity essence counteracts the meat's saltiness and spiciness exquisitely. Basing on a different flavor profile, blackcurrant juice offers complex, dark fruit flavors with a refreshingly tart finish that nicely slices through the fattiness of the meats.
Our top pick: Patrons especially enjoy our house-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when ordering our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles, with their rich, umami flavors, are best paired with juices that offer a similar profile. Beetroot juice with its delicate earthy taste superbly complements the flavors of mushrooms, and its inherent sweetness tempers the rich taste. Consider a forest berry juice blend too, as it contributes sophisticated berry essences that reflect the earthy characteristics of the pizza.
Our top pick: With our Wild Mushroom pizza, the Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley are excellent choices.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas adorned with items like prawns or clams benefit from sharp, minerally juices. A zesty citrus juice refreshes the palate, enhancing the subtle seafood flavors and adding brightness to each slice. The less commonly known sea buckthorn juice also offers a great pairing, with soaring acidity, a tropical taste, and a hint of tartness that delicately accompanies the seafood without overshadowing it.
Our top pick: The Mediterranean Seafood pizza is wonderfully accented by our Citrus Blend or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
With a diverse array of flavors, vegetable-topped pizzas go well with herbal juices. A green detox juice brimming with spinach, celery, and apple enhances the flavor of vegetables like bell peppers or artichokes. Meanwhile, a Cucumber Melon juice offers subtle freshness and a light consistency that complements various vegetable textures without dominating them.
Our top pick: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in perfect balance with a Daily Green Detox or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Fizzy Apple
To go with a rich four-cheese pizza, consider either a juice that complements or contrasts the flavors. A creamy almond milk brings forth nutty notes that echo the cheeses' characteristics. Alternatively, a fizzy apple juice, with its playful bubbles and tartness, cuts through the creamy cheese, while adding a delightful fruity counterpoint.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is a delight when accompanied by Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas laced with chili peppers, hot sausages, or spicy drizzles, juices that are creamy or have a kick offer a cooling contrast. A Mango Lassi soothes the heat and the creamy consistency is comforting. Ginger Turmeric juice also stands up to the spice due to its own warming qualities while delivering an interesting flavor complexity and added health benefits.
Our top pick: The Spicy Diavola pizza is complemented by a Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the brave souls willing to try our Nutella-and-fruit dessert pizzas, choosing a sweet juice is key. A mixed berry smoothie elevates a fruit-covered dessert pizza, and chocolate almond milk is a perfect match for any chocolate-hazelnut blend, ensuring the beverage has equal sweetness to the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza goes divinely with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
