Although cola drinks are often seen as the go-to partner for pizza, those who are passionate about juice understand that a thoughtfully selected juice can take the pizza dining experience to a higher level. At StoneGallery, we've joined forces with local connoisseurs to curate a list of juice combinations that impeccably match our varied pizza options. Whether you're eating at our place or indulging in a slice at home, these guidelines will assist you in choosing the most suitable juice to go with your preferred type of pizza.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A classic Margherita pizza, with its simple yet delicious blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, demands a juice that can accompany these subtle tastes without dominating them. A self-made tomato basil juice offers a tangy kick that complements the tomatoes and has enough character to balance the cheese's richness. In contrast, a delicate pomegranate blend introduces a sophisticated red-fruit tang that can highlight the tomatoes' sweetness and go well with the basil's fragrant notes.
Our top suggestion: Our Margherita pizza goes wonderfully with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer a touch of sweetness, a locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas heaped with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto necessitate a drink with sufficient richness and a spicy kick to equal the assertive flavors of the meats. The depth of a spiced cherry juice with its sweet, jam-like essence and a hint of peppery notes pairs beautifully with the meaty toppings' saltiness and heat. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice with its earthy dark fruit flavors and a refreshingly tart finish can slice through the meat's heaviness.
Our top suggestion: Patrons particularly relish our house-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas featuring the earthy, umami-filled tastes of mushrooms and truffles, selecting juices with similar flavor profiles is key. Beetroot juice presents subtle earthy tones that marry well with the taste of mushrooms, its innate sweetness providing a counterbalance to the richness. A forest berry mix also fares well, delivering complex berry undertones that echo the earthiness of the dish.
Our top suggestion: Pair our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas topped with seafood such as prawns or clams, crisp juices with mineral-like elements are excellent choices. A citrus mix delivers a zesty, refreshing quality that brings forward the flavors of the ocean, paired with vibrant notes that gently cut through the overall dish. Sea buckthorn juice is an exceptional selection as well, boasting substantial acidity, a tropical flavor palette, and a subtle sharpness that can enhance but not overshadow the delicate seafood tastes.
Our top suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is perfectly complemented by our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
A pizza laden with vegetables presents a variety of tastes that can benefit from versatile, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice that includes spinach, celery, and apple reflects and intensifies the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and extra veggies. The Cucumber melon juice presents a modest freshness and a light consistency that works well with the multitude of vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our top suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in equilibrium with Daily Green Detox or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The luscious nature of a pizza teeming with four different cheeses requires a juice that either complements or offsets the heavy flavor profile. Creamy almond milk contributes nutty nuances that boost the similar attributes of the cheese mix. On the opposite end, a bubbly apple juice, with its effervescence and tanginess, can cut through the lavishness, while its fruity personality offers a pleasant opposition to the savory cheeses.
Our top suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza has an excellent counterpart in Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Confronted with pizzas that contain chili flakes, spicy sausage, or fiery honey, beverages with a creamy texture or spicy notes provide a calming effect. Mango lassi cools down the taste buds, while its creamy consistency offers reprieve between bites. Ginger turmeric juice holds its own against spicy elements, offering an exciting flavor contrast and also delivering anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is an ideal match for our Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those willing to indulge in our dessert pizzas topped with Nutella and fruits, picking a drink with a sweet note is vital. Mixed berry smoothies go hand in hand with toppings of fruit, while chocolate almond milk is an ambrosial companion for chocolate and hazelnut-topped pies. The key factor is to make sure the drink is at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our top suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely paired with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidelines for Matching Pizza with Juice
- Focus on the primary taste of the pizza, not solely on the kind of crust or sauce
- High-acidity juices typically pair well with pizzas that have a tomato base since tomatoes already possess a natural acidic quality
- Bubbly juices are flexible choices that can accommodate almost any pizza type
- Be bold in experimenting—sometimes the most unconventional combinations lead to the most exciting dining adventures
