Although pop has typically been the go-to drink for pizza fans, those passionate about juice know that the perfect fruit or veggie drink can enhance the pizza-eating experience significantly. At HarrowPlains's, our collaboration with local connoisseurs has led to an assorted selection of juice combinations that fit our menu items excellently. Whether you're enjoying a sit-down meal or indulging in a pizza at home, these suggestions will help you discover the ideal juice match for your preferred pizza flavors.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Beverage or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its simple combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, pairs perfectly with a beverage that does not overshadow these subtle tastes. A house-made tomato basil drink complements the tomato's zesty flavor and supports the richness of the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate mix can introduce sophisticated red fruit nuances that sweeten the tomatoes and highlight the basil.
Our ideal recommendation: We suggest coupling our Margherita with our bespoke Tomato Basil Quencher or, for a sweeter taste, a Pomegranate Blueberry beverage sourced from nearby producers.
Pepperoni and Meat Lover’s: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Meat-heavy pizzas like those topped with pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto call for drinks with sufficient depth and zest to balance their potent flavors. Spicy cherry juice, with its hearty fruit essence and a hint of warmth, is a perfect match for the salty and spicy tastes of meat toppings. An alternative such as blackcurrant juice provides bold dark fruit flavors with a tangy aftertaste that contrasts the heaviness of the meats.
Our ideal recommendation: Our customers particularly enjoy our homemade Spicy Cherry Brew or the Organic Blackcurrant Concoction with our meat-loaded pizza offerings.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Juice
Juices that echo the earthy and umami notes of mushrooms and truffle make for an impeccable pairing. Beet juice delivers understated earthy hints that perfectly match the flavors of various fungi, with a natural sweetness to temper the decadent taste. A forest berry mix is also an exceptional option, as its sophisticated berry tones reflect the earthiness of the pizza toppings.
Our ideal recommendation: Enjoy our Wild Mushroom pizza with either the Cold-Pressed Beetroot Elixir or the Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with seafood such as prawns or clams are best complemented by zesty juices that possess mineral undertones. A citrus concoction offers a refreshing effect that bolsters the taste of the seafood, while a sea buckthorn drink, with its vibrant acidity and tropical notes, provides a subtle tartness that complements these delicate toppings.
Our ideal recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a perfect fit with either our Vibrant Citrus Mix or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Drink.
Veggie Supreme: Green Cleanse Juice or Cucumber Melon Drink
Vegetable-topped pizzas, featuring a diverse range of flavors, are best accompanied by juices with gentle herbal undertones. Our green cleanse blend that mixes spinach, celery, and apple enhances the flavors of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. A cucumber melon juice provides a mellow freshness and a light body that pairs effortlessly with the assortment of vegetables without overpowering their natural tastes.
Our ideal recommendation: Our Garden Delight pizza is perfectly matched with the Daily Green Cleanse or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Concoction.
Four Cheese Pizza: Smooth Almond or Fizzy Apple Juice
To match the indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza, one might select either a complementary or contrasting drink. A velvety almond milk offers nutty undertones that mirror the cheese's own flavors. A contrasting option would be fizzy apple juice—its sparkle and tang cut through the rich cheese, with fruity flavors providing a welcome contrast to the savory notes.
Our ideal recommendation: Our Four Cheese pizza complements Vanilla Almond Beverage or Fizzy Apple Delight wonderfully.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
Pizzas that pack heat with chili flakes, spicy meats, or sizzling honey pair well with soothing or zestful drinks. Mango lassi provides a cooling effect and a smooth consistency that provides comfort between spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice also stands its ground against the heat while offering an engaging flavor contrast and the added benefit of being anti-inflammatory.
Our ideal recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is best enjoyed with a Freshly-Made Mango Lassi or the Ginger Turmeric Tonic.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Blend or Chocolate Almond Drink
For dessert pizza lovers, seeking our concoctions with Nutella and fruit toppings, sweet drinks are a must. Blended berry smoothies pair well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, whereas chocolate almond milk creates an excellent combination with chocolate-hazelnut varieties. The aim is to ensure the drink's sweetness matches or surpasses that of the dessert pizza.
Our ideal recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is best served with the Berry Smoothie Mix or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Drink.
Guidelines for Pizza and Juice Combination
- Focus on the dominant taste of the pizza rather than just the type of crust or sauce
- Acidic juices typically complement tomato-based pizzas because of the tomato’s natural acidity
- Fizzing juices prove to be versatile and can accompany nearly any type of pizza
- Engage in taste experiments - sometimes the most unconventional pairings can offer the most delightful experiences
At HarrowPlains's, we're proud to offer an array of these expert-recommended combos. Our staff is trained to suggest the ideal juice to pair with your pizza choice, and we also present juice flight selections for those looking to sample various drinks with their meal.
While these tips should guide you toward complementary pairings, your personal taste is the most important. The finest combination is ultimately the juice that you most enjoy sipping along with your pizza!
