While soft drinks have been traditionally paired with pizza, those who favor juice recognize that a thoughtful selection can enhance the pizza dining experience. At PaperSummitStream, we've worked with gastronomy specialists to offer juice suggestions that perfectly match our menu items. No matter if you're in our establishment or opting for home delivery, these juice recommendations will help you choose the ideal companion for the specific style of pizza you savor.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A classic Margherita, with its light toppings of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, pairs well with a juice that doesn't dominate its subtle tastes. A tomato basil juice brings a lively tartness that complements the tomatoes while maintaining the integrity to balance the cheese. In contrast, a pomegranate concoction can introduce a soft berry taste that sweetens the tomatoes and harmonizes with the basil’s greenness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita goes excellently with the Tomato Basil Cooler signature drink or, if you prefer something fruitier, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local suppliers.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For meat-heavy pizzas like those topped with pepperoni or sausage, look for juices with substance and a hint of spice to counterbalance the strong flavors. A cherry juice spiced with warming spices contrasts nicely with the savoury and hot elements of the meats. As an alternative, blackcurrant juice brings deep berry profiles and a refreshing tartness that can cut through the fatty components.
Our specific recommendation: The Spiced Cherry Elixir crafted in-house or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are favorites among patrons who order our hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas featuring the earthy notes of mushrooms and truffle, choose juices with a grounding character. Beetroot juice subtly echoes the woodland flavor of mushrooms while providing natural sugar to offset the rich taste. Forest berry juices also pair well, offering layered berry flavors that reflect and complement the earthy tones of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Wild Mushroom pizza with either the earthy Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the complex Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
The delicate nature of seafood-based pizzas such as those with shrimp or clams is best matched with juices that have mineral nuances. A juice with a mix of different citrus fruits bring zest and lightness that accentuates the seafood, while a Sea Buckthorn juice has a vibrant tropical taste accompanied by an agreeable tartness that doesn't suppress the subtleties of the seafood.
Our specific recommendation: A Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar is the perfect accompaniment to our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas with an array of vegetables require adaptable juices that have an herbal essence. A detox juice blending greens like spinach and celery, with a touch of apple, mirrors and bolsters the veggie flavors. Alternatively, a juice that combines cucumber and melon brings a crisp, gentle taste that pairs without masking the distinct vegetable textures.
Our specific recommendation: Our vegetable-laden Garden Harvest pizza is excellently complemented by the invigorating Daily Green Detox or a cooling Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
For a decadent four-cheese pizza, the pairing can be either harmonious or contrasting. Creamy almond milk echoes the nutty qualities of the cheeses, enhancing the shared flavors. As a different approach, a lively sparkling apple juice offers carbonation and acidity that help to cut through the cheese's creaminess, with a fruity essence that offers a nice contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our indulgent Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully paired with either Vanilla Almond Milk or a fizzy Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas laced with heat from chili peppers or spicy sausage, juices that are creamy or have a touch of spice can provide a cooling counter. Mango lassi cools the mouth in between spicy mouthfuls, its creamy consistency providing relief. Meanwhile, a juice blended with ginger and turmeric can stand up to and even enhance heat, along with offering a contrasting taste and health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost are the go-to drinks for our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Adventurous palates willing to taste our sweet pizzas covered with Nutella and fruit toppings need complementary sweet beverages. A berry smoothie suits fruit-draped dessert pizzas, whereas chocolate almond beverage is a heavenly match for chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The key is to pick a drink with matching or greater sweetness to the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is best enjoyed with a Triple Berry Blast or a Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Focus on the main flavor profile of the pizza, rather than the crust or sauce alone.
- Juices high in acidity often pair well with tomato-topped pizzas due to the natural acid in tomatoes.
- Sparkling juices offer flexible pairing options that suit nearly any type of pizza.
- Be open to trying new combinations—unexpected matches can be surprisingly delightful.
At PaperSummitStream, we've curated a diverse juice selection to accommodate many of these pairing recommendations. Our knowledgeable staff is readily available to suggest the most fitting juice for your pizza choice. We also present juice tasting flights, allowing guests to sample three different juices with their meal.
Remember that while these suggestions can guide you to harmonious combinations, your own taste is paramount. The ultimate juice for your pizza is the one that you enjoy the most!
