Although carbonated soft drinks are often seen as the go-to companion for pizza, aficionados of juice understand that a judiciously chosen juice pairing can lift the pizza dining experience to unprecedented levels. At HumanityUnleashed, we have teamed up with neighbourhood culinary masters to devise a selection of juice pairings that perfectly harmonize with our dining options. No matter if you're enjoying a sit-down meal with us or relishing our pizza at home, our pairing guide will assist you in selecting the quintessential juice to go with your preferred pizza variant.
Timeless Margherita: Juices of Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, deserves a juice match that can subtly complement its mild tastes. A tomato basil juice made at home can offer a fresh, tangy quality that pairs well with the tomatoes while also holding its ground against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate fusion provides a sophisticated touch of red fruits to bring out the sweetness of the tomatoes and enhance the basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita goes splendidly with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, should you desire a hint of sweetness, a pomegranate blueberry juice obtained from local sources.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers' Delight: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
The intensity of the cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto on a pizza necessitates a juice with enough character and a hint of spice to stand up against the assertive tastes. A spicy cherry juice with its deep fruit essence and a hint of pepper can counterbalance the salinity and heat of the meat toppings. A blackcurrant juice provides alternative rich dark fruit notes with a satisfyingly tart edge to slice through the fattiness of the meats.
Our top pick: Guests often favor our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our meat-loaded pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Specialty: Beetroot or Forest Berry Fusion
The rich, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffle-infused pizzas call for juices that embody earthy tones. Beetroot juice, with its understated earthly scents, is a fine complement to the taste of fungi, while the natural sweetness aids in balancing out the savory aspects. A forest berry concoction also delivers a mix of complex berry tones that go well with the earthiness of the pizza toppings.
Our top pick: Test out our Wild Mushroom pizza with a Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Melange.
Coastal Catch Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Juice
For pizzas adorned with seafood such as prawns or clams, zesty juices that carry mineral undertones serve as excellent counterparts. A citrus mix imbues a rejuvenating edge that uplifts the taste of seafood, while bright notes contribute to a lighter palate. Sea buckthorn juice, recognized for its pronounced acidity and tropical notes coupled with mild tartness, is another exceptional option that doesn't mask the subtle seafood flavors.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is exquisitely matched with a refreshing Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Juice
The array of flavors found on a vegetable-centered pizza is best complemented by adaptable, herb-inflected juices. A green detox juice that includes spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and elevates the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and the assortment of veggies. A cucumber melon juice brings a discreet freshness and a light palate that aligns well with the diverse texture of vegetables without being overpowering.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Supreme pizza is in impeccable sync with our Daily Green Detox or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Reviver.
Quartet of Cheese Pizza: Silky Almond or Crisp Sparkling Apple Juice
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza demands either a complementary or a contrasting pairing approach. A silky almond milk provides nutty undertones that resonate with the cheese blend's similar notes. For a contrasting choice, a bubbly apple juice with its lively fizz and tangy taste can slice through the cheesiness, while the fruity aroma creates an appealing contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is delightfully paired with our Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Pizza Varieties: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
In the case of pizzas adorned with chili flakes, zesty sausages, or sizzling honey, juices that are creamy or carry a hint of spice offer a respite. The creamy and cool Mango Lassi soothes the palate between fiery bites, and the Ginger Turmeric juice stands up admirably to the heat while offering an interesting flavor contrast and health advantages.
Our top pick: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly complemented by our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza Pairing: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Juice
For those bold enough to sample our fruit and Nutella dessert pizzas, sweet juices are vital. A mixed berry smoothie complements fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond juice is a divine match for those with chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The harmony comes from ensuring that the beverage's sweetness matches that of the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely complemented by a Triple Berry Smoothie or a rich Dark Chocolate Almond Juice.
Guidance for Matching Pizza with Juice
- Target the predominant flavors on the pizza, rather than just focusing on the crust or sauce
- Acidic juices generally pair well with pizzas topped with tomato because of the natural acidity of tomatoes
- Bubbly juices offer a versatility that can harmonize with almost any pizza style
- Adventurous pairings are encouraged—unexpected combinations can yield the most delightful experiences
At HumanityUnleashed, our juice menu has been thoughtfully extended to incorporate many of these pairing recommendations. Our staff is more than willing to propose the most suitable juice to accompany your pizza selection. We also offer juice tasting sessions that give you the opportunity to try different juice options with your meal.
Keep in mind that while these guidelines can guide you toward complementary combinations, personal taste is always paramount. The prime juice pairing for your pizza is, ultimately, the one that brings you the most pleasure when sipped!
