Traditionally, soft drinks have been the go-to choice for pizza, but juice connoisseurs understand that the appropriate juice can take a pizza meal to the next level. At ThatchField, we’ve consulted with local connoisseurs to curate juice pairings that wonderfully enhance our pizza range. Whether you’re enjoying a meal inside our establishment or indulging in takeaway at your abode, these curated pairings will assist you in selecting the ideal juice for your preferred pizza type.
Time-honored Margherita: Tomato Basil Beverage or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza’s plain elegance, signaled by ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that won’t dominate these subtle tastes. A tomato basil beverage delivers a lively acidity to match the tomatoes and has the structure to cope with the cheese’s weight. In contrast, a pomegranate fusion adds sophisticated notes of red fruit that elevate the tomato's sweetness and suit the basil's fresh flavor.
Our particular suggestion: Our Margherita is perfectly complemented by our bespoke Tomato Basil Chiller or a Pomegranate Blueberry juice obtained from local sources for those desiring something on the sweeter side.
Hearty Pepperoni and Meat-Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas adorned with cured meats like pepperoni need a juice that has the robustness and zest to align with their intense flavors. A spicy cherry juice brings a succulent fruit profile with a hint of heat that suits the toppings’ spice level. Another option is blackcurrant juice that introduces bold dark fruit essences and a refreshingly tart finish that cleanses the palate from the meat’s savory taste.
Our particular suggestion: With our Meat Feast pizza, our clientele particularly relish our homebrewed Spiced Cherry Tonic or the Organic Blackcurrant Deluxe.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles carry earthy, umami-laden flavors that pair well with juices carrying similar characteristics. Beetroot juice’s subtle earthiness smartly complements the fungi, while its inherent sweetness counteracts the savoriness. Additionally, a forest berry fusion is excellent, offering intricate berry flavors that parallel the earthiness of the mushrooms and truffles.
Our particular suggestion: Our wild fungi pizza pairs beautifully with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Tincture or Wild Berries Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas such as those with shrimp or clams are wonderfully matched with crisp juices that carry mineral characteristics. A citrus concoction provides a refreshing quality that accentuates the delicate seafood, while bright notes lift the whole flavor profile. Sea buckthorn juice is a superior pick with its tropical tones and moderate sourness that respects the seafood’s subtleness.
Our particular suggestion: Our Coastal Delights pizza harmonizes splendidly with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetable Supreme: Verdant Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
A pizza with a range of vegetables enjoys flexible, aromatic juices. A verdant cleanse incorporating spinach, celery, and apple resonates with the flavors of bell peppers and other vegetables. Conversely, cucumber melon juice has a nuanced freshness and a light character that accommodates assorted vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our particular suggestion: Our Garden Delight pizza finds a perfect match in our Daily Green Purifier or Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Four Cheese Pizza: Nutty Almond or Fizzy Apple
The opulence of a four-cheese pizza necessitates choosing between a beverage that complements or contrasts. Nutty almond milk mirrors the cheeses’ nutty nuances, while fizzy apple juice with its lively effervescence and tang slices through the cheeses’ richness, providing a fruity contrast.
Our particular suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi is ideally paired with Vanilla Infused Almond Nectar or Apple Fizz.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy-topped pizzas, featuring elements like chili flakes, benefit from soothing or zesty drinks like mango lassi, which cools the mouth with its creaminess. A ginger turic juice equally stands up well against the heat, adding an interesting taste contrast and carrying anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our particular suggestion: For our Fiery Diavola, we recommend our House Mango Lassi or the Ginger Turmeric Spark.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Choco Almond
For a daring choice like our Nutella fruit dessert pizzas, sweet drinks are necessary. A mixed berry smoothie complements fruit-topped pizzas, and a chocolate almond drink pairs magically with chocolate and hazelnut variations. The key is ensuring that the drink is at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our particular suggestion: Our Nutella and Berry Delight pizza is divinely coupled with our Berry Blast Smoothie or Dark Choco Almond Drink.
Guidelines for Pizza and Juice Pairings
- Focus on the leading flavor of the pizza rather than the crust or sauce type alone
- Juices with a high acid content generally pair well with tomato-based pizzas because of the natural acidity of tomatoes
- Fizzy juices are versatile and can accompany almost any style of pizza
- Embrace testing different combinations—unanticipated pairings can lead to delightful surprises
