Though pop is often seen as the quintessential drink to accompany pizza, those who adore juices understand that the appropriate juice can take a pizza meal to the next level. Here at PlateTableSlice, we've worked with culinary specialists to design a range of juice suggestions that flawlessly accompany our diverse menu options. These suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice choice, whether you're enjoying a meal at our eatery or indulging at home.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mix
A classic Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that is subtle enough not to overshadow these fine tastes. Freshly made tomato basil juice has a lively tartness that harmonizes with the tomatoes while having sufficient character to balance the cheese. Alternatively, a refreshing pomegranate mix brings forht light red fruit nuances that amplify the tomato sweetness and complement the basil.
Our selected pick: The Margherita goes well with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, if in the mood for something sweeter, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend procured from regional sources.
Pepperoni and Meat Supreme: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas teeming with processed meats like pepperoni or sausage require juices that can stand up to their distinct tastes. A jam-packed spiced cherry juice, with its fruit-forward personality and a bite of pepper, complements the meat's saltiness and heat. Blackcurrant juice is another fine option, presenting earthy, dark fruit flavors and a tart finish that slices through the meat's richness.
Our selected pick: Patrons particularly fancy our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with the Meat Lover's pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The rich, savory nuances of mushrooms and truffle demand juices with depth. Beetroot juice delivers subtle earthy tones that enrich the flavors of the fungi, with natural sweetness to temper the savoriness. A concoction of forest berries also works beautifully, presenting multi-dimensional berry tastes that reflect the earthy notes of the dish.
Our selected pick: Try our Earthy Mushroom pizza with Fresh Beetroot Juice or a Berry Medley from the woods.
Seafood Pizza: Zesty Citrus or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas garnished with seafood like shrimp or clams, sparkling juices with a mineral undertone make for excellent partners. A vibrant citrus blend brings clean flavors that brighten the seafood, with zesty notes to enhance the overall taste. Sea buckthorn juice with its sharp acidity and island character is another fantastic choice, providing a hint of tartness without hiding the delicate seafood flavors.
Our selected pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a perfect match with our Citrus Burst or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Masterpiece: Herbal Green or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas crowned with an assortment of vegetables thrive with dynamic, botanical juices. A green detox brew infused with spinach, celery, and apple reinforces and uplifts the flavors of peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Cucumber melon juice gifts a tranquil freshness and a light consistency that pairs well with diverse vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our selected pick: Our Vegetable Harvest pizza resonates perfectly with a Daily Green Detox or a Cool Cucumber Melon Blend.
Four Cheese Harmony: Nutty Almond or Effervescent Apple
The indulgent character of a four-cheese pizza suggests either a similar or contrasting juice. Silky almond milk brings out complementary nutty undertones that resonate with the cheese blend's flavors. For contrast, consider a fizzy apple juice, with its lively bubbles and tangy taste that cut through the cheese's creaminess, while also adding a fruity contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our selected pick: Our Quattro Fromaggi pizza goes splendidly with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Bubbly Apple Crisp.
Fiery Pizzas: Soothing Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick of chili, spicy meats, or zingy dressings, juices that are creamy or have a spicy zest provide a welcome reprieve. Mango lassi is cooling for the taste buds, with a velvety texture that calms the palate. Ginger turmeric juice also pairs well with spicy toppings, offering an intriguing contrast in flavors and boasting anti-inflammatory properties.
Our selected pick: Our Blazing Diavola pizza finds its other half in our crafted Mango Lassi or the invigorating Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or Chocolatey Almond
For those daring enough to indulge in our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruit toppings, sweet juices are a must. A blended berry smoothie echoes the toppings on a fruit-laden dessert pizza, while a chocolate almond shake is especially dreamy alongside chocolate and hazelnut variations. It's vital that the beverage is as sweet as the confection.
Our selected pick: Our Strawberry and Nutella dessert pizza is divine with either a Berry Blender blast or a Rich Chocolate Almond drink.
