Traditionally, pizza's beverage sidekick has been soda, but juice lovers are aware that the correct juice match can take a pizza meal to the next level. Here at BroadPanel, we've worked with local connoisseurs to bring you juice pairing options that harmonize superbly with our offerings. Whether you're enjoying your pizza at our establishment or at your own abode with takeaway, these pairing suggestions will assist you in discovering the ideal juice for your preferred pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The basic yet elegant Margherita pizza with its combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil demands a juice that can match but not overshadow these flavors. An in-house tomato basil juice provides a lively acidity that echoes the tomato flavors, while boasting a boldness to counter the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate juice with a lighter body offers an exquisite hint of red fruits that sweetly plays off the tomato flavors and pairs nicely with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: We find our Margherita harmonizes well with our specialty Tomato Basil Cooler or a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local sources for those who prefer a sweeter taste.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas abundant with cured meats like pepperoni and sausage, juices that present a hearty body and a hint of spice can stand their ground against these pronounced flavors. A spiced cherry juice brings a rich fruity essence paired with a spicy kick that's a match for the zesty meats. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice with its dark, rustic fruits and tart edge delicately slices through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons especially delight in pairing our Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The umami-filled tastes of mushrooms and truffles are well-suited to juices that share earthy subtleties. Beetroot juice, with its gentle earthy undertones, is a great compliment to the mushroom flavors and its sweetness provides a nice balance. Forest berry juice is also an excellent match, its intricate berry flavors resonating with the earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza goes perfectly with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns and clams benefit from the crisp, mineraly juices. A citrus mix brings a refreshing zest that elevates the seafood tastes, with lively tones that lighten the pairing. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its vibrant acidity and slight tartness, is another superior choice that doesn't overshadow the subtlety of the seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a fantastic match with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered with a variety of vegetables are best suited to versatile juices that have a herbal tinge. A green detox juice combining spinach, celery, and apple elevates the flavors of bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, cucumber melon juice gives a delicate, crisp touch suitable for the diverse textures of the vegetable toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its match with the Daily Green Detox or a cool Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
For a rich four-cheese pizza, there's the choice of a complementary or contrasting juice pairing. Creamy almond milk, with its nutty flavor, accentuates the taste profiles found in the cheese blend. In contrast, a sparkling apple juice with bubbly tartness and fruity essence cuts through the cheese's richness offering a balanced pairing.
Our specific recommendation: Enjoy our Quattro Formaggi pizza with luscious Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas, with their chili and hot sauces, are ideally cooled down by creamy or warmly spiced juices. Mango lassi acts as a cooling agent, its creamy consistency providing a smooth interlude between spicy bites. Similarly, ginger turmeric juice stands up to the bold spice and offers a contrasting flavor bonus with health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza pairs remarkably well with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the gustative explorers who dare the Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, saccharine juices are indispensable. Berry smoothies match excellently with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, whilst a chocolate almond juice is a divine counterpart for chocolate-hazelnut variations, ensuring the sweetness matches the level of the dessert treat.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs divinely with a Triple Berry Blast or a rich Dark Chocolate Almond Juice.
