While carbonated drinks are commonly linked with pizza, those who love juice realize that an ideal juice choice can take a pizza meal to the next level. At CalmSettlement, in collaboration with culinary experts, we have devised juice selections that perfectly match our menu. No matter if you're eating at our establishment or opting for home delivery, these pairings will assist you in choosing the prime juice for your preferred pizza variant.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza with its straightforward combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, suits a juice that doesn't drown out these subtle tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice provides a refreshing sharpness akin to the tomatoes, while maintaining a robust structure against the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate blend introduces refined red fruit tones that amplify the tomato sweetness and harmonize with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita is excellent with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something on the sweeter side, a locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat-Heavy: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas brimming with cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or ham require juices that have the robustness and spiciness to contend with the pronounced tastes. Spicy cherry juice, with its rich fruity taste and piquant edge, contrasts superbly with the salted and spicy meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice offers a rustic and dark fruit flavor with a satisfying tang that slices through the opulence of the meat.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons are particularly fond of our homemade Spicy Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme paired with our Hearty Meat pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Forest Berry Juice
For pizzas topped with earthy mushrooms and truffles, juices that resonate with earthy qualities are required. Beet juice introduces slight earthy fragrances that blend exquisitely with the tastes of fungi. Its inherent sweetness lends a counterbalance to the savoriness. A forest berry juice is also effective, contributing layered berry notes that reflect the earthy features of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Earthy Mushroom pizza goes hand in hand with Cold-Pressed Beet Juice or Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Seafood pizzas adorned with shrimp, clams, or similar marine ingredients are paired exceptionally well with zesty juices harboring mineral hints. A citrus concoction brings zesty qualities that bolster the seafood's flavor while introducing vivacious notes that elevate the whole dining experience. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its high acidity, tropical flavor, and slight tartness, is another ideal match, never overpowering the subtle seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Seafood pizza matches marvelously with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Vibrant Detox or Cucumber Melon Juice
Pizzas covered with an array of vegetables benefit from flexible juices carrying herbal notes. A green detox juice with elements like spinach, celery, and apple complements and emphasizes the taste of bell peppers, artichokes, and more. Cucumber melon juice provides a nearly imperceptible freshness and a light body that upholds various vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Verdant Harvest pizza finds a perfect complement in Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Draught.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Smooth Almond or Fizzy Apple Juice
A four-cheese pizza, laden with richness, calls for a juice that either complements or contrasts this character. Smooth almond milk offers a nut-like flavor that enhances similar traits in the cheese blend. On the contrasting side, a fizzy apple juice—with its sparkle and tang—cuts through the cheese’s creaminess, the fruity essence serving as a delightful contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese pizza pairs superbly with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Zest.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
Pizzas that feature chili, spicy sausages, or zesty honey call for soothing creamy or tingling spicy juices. Mango lassi offers a cooling effect on the tongue, and its creamy consistency provides solace in between mouthfuls. Ginger turmeric juice equally stands strong against the spice with its captivating flavor profile and healthful properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is well-matched with our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Tonic.
Dessert Pizza: Mixed Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Juice
For those who indulge in our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sugary drinks are a must. A mixed berry smoothie complements fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond juice forms a divine combination with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is to make sure the drink is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Sweet Pizza goes heavenly with our Triple Berry Smoothie or Dark Chocolate Almond Juice.
Guidelines for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Prioritize the main flavor of the pizza, beyond simply the crust or sauce
- Juices with elevated acidity tend to pair well with tomato-rich pizzas reflecting the inherent tanginess of the tomatoes
- Fizzy juices are versatile and can be paired with a diverse range of pizzas
- Embrace experimentation, as unlikely pairings sometimes yield unforgettable taste adventures
