Traditionally, soda has been seen as the go-to drink for pizza, but those who love juice know that the right juice pairing can take a pizza meal to the next level. At CoveWanderCalm, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've crafted recommendations for juice pairings that perfectly accentuate our pizza offerings. Whether you're at our location or having our pizza to go, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice complement for your preferred pizza variant.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A classic Margherita pizza, with its vibrant tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, demands a juice that preserves the gentle taste. A self-made tomato basil juice brings a refreshing tartness that complements the tomatoes yet is robust enough to pair with the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate mix introduces subtle sweet-tart flavors that lift the tomato's sweetness and marry well with the basil's herbal notes.
Our chosen pairing: Our Margherita goes hand in hand with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for those who prefer sweeter sips, a locally-acquired Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavy-on-meat pizzas like those topped with pepperoni or sausage demand a juice with a depth of flavor and a hint of spice to match their hearty taste. A Spicy Cherry juice combines fruity depth with a kick of spice which balances the savory and spicy meat toppings. Blackcurrant juice is another good option, bringing forward rich berry flavors with a tart aftertaste that slices through the meat's opulence.
Our chosen pairing: Diners often prefer our house-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or our Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The intense, umami flavors of mushrooms and truffles seek juices with grounding notes. Beetroot juice offers a subtle earthiness that complements the taste of mushrooms, paired with a natural sweetness to moderate the lavishness. A forest berry juice is a splendid choice as well, with its intricate notes that embrace the earthy undertones of the pizza.
Our chosen pairing: Our Wild Mushroom pizza pairs exquisitely with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas with ingredients like prawns or clams are best complemented by crisp juices that embody a mineral essence. A citrus mix revive the seafood's flavors and adds zesty brightness to the meal. Sea buckthorn juice is another superior choice, with its sharp acidity and tropical taste, adding just the right amount of tartness.
Our chosen pairing: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a perfect match with our Citrus Fusion or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered with vegetables can be paired with a variety of herbal juices. A green cleanser featuring ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple enhances and complements the tastes of bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, Cucumber Melon juice offers a gentle refreshment that contends with the varied textures of the vegetables without overpowering them.
Our chosen pairing: Our Garden Delight pizza is in perfect sync with our Daily Green Cleanse or Chilled Cucumber Melon Relaxer.
Quattro Formaggi: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The lavish nature of a four-cheese pizza can be paired with either complementing or contrasting drinks. Creamy almond milk provides nutty essences which highlight the cheeses' flavors. In contrast, a sparkling apple beverage cuts through the cheese's richness with its fizz and acidity, while bringing a fruity contrast.
Our chosen pairing: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully complemented by Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Essence.
Hot Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with a kick, like those with chili or spicy sausage, can be cooled down with creamy or zestful juices. Mango lassi is a soothing choice that tempers the heat while offering a creamy respite. Ginger turmeric juice matches well with the spice and brings an exciting contrast in flavor along with health benefits.
Our chosen pairing: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is perfectly paired with a Homemade Mango Lassi or a Ginger Turmeric Kick.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those who venture into dessert pizzas like those with Nutella and fruit, sweet juices are essential companions. A blend of mixed berries goes well with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond beverage is a heavenly combination with chocolate-hazelnut variations, the key being to match the sweetness level of the dessert.
Our chosen pairing: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is blissfully coupled with our Triple Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
