Though soda is often seen as the classic partner for pizza, those who love juice recognize that the correct juice blend can take a pizza meal to a higher level. At FlavorLoom, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've formulated juice suggestions that ideally match our menu offerings. Whether you are enjoying your pizza in the comfort of our venue or at home, these tips will assist you in choosing the perfect juice to go with your preferred type of pizza.
Timeless Margherita: Juice of Tomato and Basil or a Blend of Pomegranate
A quintessential Margherita, with its combination of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, would be best accompanied by a juice that is not too dominating. A tomato basil juice concoction emphasizes the sharpness of the tomatoes yet is robust enough to complement the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate mix is gentle and adds an elegant red fruit nuance, which heightens the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and pairs nicely with the basil’s aromatic profile.
Our unique suggestion: Our Margherita goes splendidly with our special Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a hint of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local sources.
Loaded Pepperoni and Meaty Pizzas: Cherry with Spices or Blackcurrant
For pizzas smothered with robust cured meats like pepperoni or sausage, select juices with sufficient richness and spice to stand their ground against the intense taste. Cherry juice, spiced and jam-packed with fruity essence, as well as a bit of kick, adeptly balances the saltiness and spiciness of the meats. An alternative is blackcurrant juice, bringing forth rustic dark fruit flavors and a tart finish that slices through the meaty richness.
Our unique suggestion: Our connoisseurs often praise our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when paired with our Hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Forest Berries
The unique umami and earthy flavors found in mushrooms and truffles are well-matched by juices with corresponding notes. The modestly earthy undertones of beetroot juice aligns seamlessly with the taste of mushrooms, and its innate sweetness helps counterpose the richness. Forest berry juice is another great option, with its intricate berry flavors that reflect the hearty nature of the dish.
Our unique suggestion: Opt for our Exotic Mushroom pizza paired with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or our Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Specialty Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas featuring ingredients like shrimp or clams pair well with crisp juices that carry mineral hints. A citrus juice blend, with its invigorating touch, further enlightens the seafood flavors and presents a vibrant zing to the palate. Sea buckthorn juice is another excellent choice, known for its sharp acidity, tropical twist, and a delicate tartness that doesn't overshadow the subtle seafood flavors.
Our unique suggestion: Our Coastline Seafood pizza is a perfect match with our zingy Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Verdant Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas adorned with an array of vegetables benefit from juices carrying versatile, botanical notes. A green detox juice, blending spinach, celery, and apple, enriches and amplifies the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and the like. Meanwhile, cucumber melon juice, subtle in taste and lighter in body, meets the various textures of vegetables without overshadowing their natural profiles.
Our unique suggestion: Our bountiful Garden Harvest pizza finds its blissful counterpart with our invigorating Daily Green Detox or the cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Quartet of Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Bubbly Apple
For the lavish richness of a four-cheese pizza, consider choosing a juice that either complements or contrasts the taste. Nutty notes of creamy almond milk can magnify similar attributes in the cheese blend, while a fizzy apple juice offers a contrasting effervescence and tanginess, slicing through the richness and counterbalancing the savory cheese with its fruity essence.
Our unique suggestion: Our luxurious Quattro Formaggi pizza is beautifully paired with our Vanilla Almond Milk or the effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
The heat from pizzas loaded with chili, spicy sausages, or fiery honey is best tempered by creamy or zesty juices that offer solace. Mango lassi cools the taste buds while its velvety consistency gently soothes the palate. A ginger turmeric juice equally holds its own against hot flavors and provides an interesting taste contrast with added health benefits.
Our unique suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is well complemented by our Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Those bold enough to indulge in our fruit and Nutella dessert pizzas will find that sweet beverages are imperative. A mixed berry smoothie works well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk provides a luscious pairing with variations that revolve around a chocolate hazelnut theme. The key is to ensure that the drink is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert itself.
Our unique suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza tastes divine when paired with our Triple Berry Blast or the sumptuous Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
