While soft drinks have been the conventional option for pizza, those with a penchant for juice understand that a well-chosen juice can enhance the pizza dining experience. At KindPlateau, we've partnered with local connoisseurs to develop a list of juice pairings that perfectly complement our array of pizzas. Whether you're eating at our place or having a meal at home, these pairings will help you discover the ideal juice to accompany your pizza of choice.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Beverage or Pomegranate Mix
The unassuming nature of Margherita pizza, with its mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and basil, requires a beverage that won't dominate these subtle tastes. A tomato basil drink provides a tangy flavor that echoes the pizza's tomato elements and has the backbone to stand beside the mozzarella. Meanwhile, a pomegranate concoction adds refreshing berry notes accentuating the tomato's natural sweetness and pairs well with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: We recommend trying our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Tonic or, for a sweeter taste profile, a Pomegranate Blueberry elixir from a local source.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant Selection
Pizzas topped with ample meats like prosciutto, sausage, or pepperoni benefit from robust, spicy juices. A spiced cherry selection provides a lush, fruity palate with a hint of spiciness that can keep pace with the robustness of the pizza toppings. Likewise, a blackcurrant choice offers deep rustic flavors and a satisfying tang ideal for cutting through the dense texture of meaty toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly enjoy our home-crafted Spiced Cherry Potion or our Organic Blackcurrant Delight with our hearty Pizza Carnivore.
Mushroom and Truffle Treasure: Beetroot Selection or Berry Forest Fusion
The deep umami savors of mushrooms and truffle demand juices with depth. Beetroot juice, with its mild terrestrial flavor, goes hand in hand with mushroom overtones. The juice's sweetness is a counterbalance to the richness. A berry forest mix is also suitable, as it presents a tapestry of berry tones reflecting the pizza's savory depth.
Our specific recommendation: Our Exotic Mushroom pizza is the perfect companion to our Pure Beetroot Nectar or our Wild Berries Symphony.
Seafood Special: Citrus Melody or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Seafood-topped pizzas, bursting with flavors from the sea, like shrimp or clams, pair well with zesty, minerally beverages. A lively citrus mix refreshes the palate and highlights the seafood's intricacy, while the lively qualities of sea buckthorn juice, with its fruity zest and measured sharpness, provide a nice contrast without masking the subtle seafood flavors.
Our specific recommendation: The Sea's Bounty pizza is delightfully paired with our Vibrant Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetarian's Delight: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Hydration
Pizzas laden with vegetables offer an array of flavors which call for adaptive, botanical-infused beverages. A green cleanse juice comprising spinach, apple, and celery reflects and enhances the profile of diverse vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. The cucumber melon drink, with its understated freshness and mild character, supports the varied textures of vegetables without overshadowing them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Verdant Vegetable pizza harmonizes with our Green Revival or Cool Cucumber Melon Infusion.
Quattro Formaggi Indulgence: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
A decadent quattro formaggi pizza suggests a pairing that either complements or contrasts its richness. Creamy, nut-based almond milk presents a flavor that accentuates the cheese's nutty attributes. Alternatively, an effervescent apple beverage cuts through the dense cheese with its carbonation and acidity, and its fruity nuances offer a refreshing balance to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our four-cheese offering goes splendidly with our Vanilla Almond Milk or our Bubbly Apple Zest.
Hot and Spicy Varieties: Mango Lassi or Ginger-Turmeric Fusion
For those who enjoy pizzas dotted with hot honey, spicy sausage, or chili flakes, smooth or zesty juices provide a solace for the palate. Mango lassi’s creaminess is soothing, while the ginger-turmeric juice holds its own against the spice, providing a contrasting taste and health benefits from its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Flame pizza is beautifully complemented by our Handcrafted Mango Lassi or our Invigorating Ginger-Turmeric Tonic.
Dessert Pizza Heaven: Berry Puree or Chocolate Almond Delight
Customers eager to sample our fruit and Nutella sweet pizzas will find that sugary beverages are essential. A mixed berry puree goes hand in hand with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond beverage pairs sublimely with chocolate-hazelnut variants, making sure the drink matches the sweetness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Berry and Nutella dessert pizza is divinely matched with our Berry Blast Smoothie or our Rich Chocolate Almond Drink.
Essentials of Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Focus on the pizza's primary flavor, not just the crust or sauce
- Acidic juices tend to complement tomato-based pizzas due to the natural tartness of tomatoes
- Bubbly juices are adaptable and pair well with almost any pizza type
- Be open to experimenting—unexpected combinations can lead to remarkable dining experiences
At KindPlateau, we've diversified our juice menu to feature several of these advised pairings. Our knowledgeable team is eager to suggest an ideal juice complement for your pizza choice. We also provide tasting flights of juice that let you sample a range of options with your meal.
Keep in mind that while these tips can guide you to compatible combinations, personal taste is paramount. The most suitable juice to go with your pizza is, above all, the one that you find most satisfying to drink.
