Although carbonated drinks are traditionally paired with pizza, lovers of juice know that the perfect juice can take a pizza meal to a higher level. At OpenLiaisonHub, we have worked with local connoisseurs to come up with juice combinations that beautifully match our menu. Whether you’re eating in or ordering out, these pairings will help you discover the ideal juice for any pizza variety you prefer.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mix
An unadorned Margherita pizza with its light mozzarella, fresh basil, and tomatoes needs a juice that doesn’t dominate the subtle tastes. A freshly made basil and tomato juice gives a bright acidity that harmonizes with the pizza's tomato while supporting the cheese's richness. On the other hand, a gentle pomegranate mix introduces soft red fruit tones that highlight the sweetness of the tomatoes and pairs nicely with the basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita pizza goes splendidly with our house Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter palate, a locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas topped with generous amounts of meat like pepperoni and sausage demand a juice that has a rich body and a hint of spice to match their strong taste. A spicy cherry juice, with its bold fruitiness and a hint of pepper, is the perfect accompaniment to the meat's richness. Blackcurrant juice can also be an excellent choice, providing deep fruit flavors and a tart aftertaste that complements the meat's intensity.
Our top pick: Our guests often favor our signature Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when ordering our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Berry from the Forest
Mushrooms and truffles carry deep, umami flavors that work well with juices that have earthy notes. Juice made from beets provides subtle earth aromas that complement the mushroom flavors, while its intrinsic sweetness balances the savory depth. Similarly, a forest berry blend presents intricate berry notes that echo the earthiness of the pizza.
Our top pick: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a delightful match with Cold-Pressed Beet Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas with toppings like prawns or clams are best matched with crisp juices that carry a mineral undertone. A blended citrus juice provides zesty refreshment that amplifies the taste of the seafood, and with bright tones that enliven the whole experience. Sea buckthorn juice, delivering high acidity and a tropical twist with just enough tartness, doesn't overshadow the delicate seafood flavors.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is perfectly complemented by Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetarian Specialty: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas loaded with vegetables showcase a bouquet of tastes that are enhanced by versatile juices with herbal notes. A green detox juice containing spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and amplifies the flavors of vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice gives off a subtle freshness and has a light profile that fits well against the diversity of vegetable textures without overshadowing any.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Supreme offering achieves a harmonious balance with our Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refreshment.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond Cream or Sparkling Apple
A rich four-cheese pizza calls for a juice that either complements or contrasts its taste. Creamy almond milk echoes the nutty flavors of the cheese blend. Alternatively, a sparkling apple juice provides a crisp counterbalance; its fruitiness and bubbliness can cut through the cheesiness while adding a pleasant layer of flavor.
Our top pick: We suggest pairing our Quattro Formaggi pizza with either Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with hot elements such as chili pepper or spicy sausage, creamy or vibrant juices provide a soothing effect. Mango lassi offers a refreshing creaminess that calms the taste buds, while ginger turmeric juice offers a tangy and contrasting taste, complete with healthful benefits.
Our top pick: Our sizzling Spicy Diavola pizza is ideally suited to Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothy or Chocolate Almond Milk
For those daring to indulge in dessert pizzas like those with Nutella and banana, sweet juices are essential. A mixed berry smoothy embellishes fruit-topped dessert pizzas, whereas chocolate almond milk is a divine choice for chocolate-hazelnut variations. It's important that the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert itself.
Our top pick: Our Berry and Chocolate Dessert Pizza is heavenly when enjoyed with either a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance for Matching Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the leading flavor of the pizza rather than just the crust or sauce
- Acidic juices often pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the natural acidity of tomatoes
- The versatile nature of sparkling juices makes them suitable companions for nearly all kinds of pizza
- Don't hesitate to mix and match—unexpected combinations can lead to the most enjoyable experiences
