While carbonated drinks are often seen as pizza's quintessential match, those who adore juice understand that the perfect combination can enhance an ordinary pizza meal into something extraordinary. At ThoroughfareRegistry, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we have curated a selection of juice suggestions that perfectly accentuate the flavors of our pizzas. Whether you're indulging at our eatery or at home, these tips will guide you in selecting the optimal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A classic Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomato toppings, mozzarella, and basil, calls for a juice that doesn't overshadow these understated tastes. A house-prepared tomato basil juice offers a lively tang that mirrors the tomato's zesty profile while providing enough substance to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate mix contributes subtle red fruit undertones that bolster the tomato's sweetness and match the basil's green notes.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest pairing our Margherita with our special Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a locally obtained Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas heaped with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto pair well with juices possessing sufficient depth and zest to equal the robust flavors. A Spiced cherry juice, laden with dense fruit flavors and a kick of pepper, is a fantastic match for the salty meats' piquancy. A blackcurrant juice also makes for a great alternative, bringing forward notes of dark berry and a refreshingly tart finish that contrasts the meat's savory taste.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons often enjoy our own Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Lovers' pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, savory qualities of mushrooms and truffles on a pizza are well matched by juices that share a similar profile. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earth notes, pairs splendidly with the mushroom's natural flavors, its innate sweetness counterbalancing the umami richness. A forest berry mix also works well, its intricate berry notes reflecting the earthiness of the pizza toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Mix for a harmonious blend.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas, with ingredients like shrimp or clams, are best complemented by crisp beverages that have a minerally edge. A juicy citrus mix delivers zestiness that brings out the flavors in seafood, accompanied by lively notes that make the dining experience more refreshing. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its soaring acidity, tropical essence, and soft tartness, pairs delightfully without overshadowing subtle seafood tastes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes seamlessly with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas adorned with an array of vegetables blend naturally with flexible, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice containing spinach, celery, and apple amplifies and enhances the taste of bell peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. Meanwhile, juice from cucumber melon imparts a gentle freshness and maintains a lightness ideal for the varying textures of the vegetables without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Vegetable Supreme pizza is perfectly complemented by the Daily Green Detox or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The intensity of a Four Cheese pizza can be best navigated by choosing either a drink that complements or contrasts. Creamy almond milk offers a nutty flavor that resonates with the cheese's profiles, while sparkling apple juice provides vibrant effervescence and acidity that cuts through the richness, combined with a fruitiness offering an agreeable juxtaposition to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: The Quattro Formaggi pizza is a wonderful match with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas that are spiced up with chili flakes, fiery sausage, or tangy sauces, a creamy or spicy juice provides a much-needed contrast. Mango lassi soothes the taste buds while its lush texture mitigates the heat between mouthfuls. Ginger turmeric juice stands strong against the heat while adding a unique flavor and potential health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is ideally complements with either Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the adventurous souls sampling our Nutella and fruit pizzas, indulging in sweet beverages is a must. A mixed berry smoothie augments the flavor of fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk offers an exquisite pairing with our chocolate-hazelnut variations. Ensure the drink matches or exceeds the sweetness level of the dessert for perfect harmony.
Our specific recommendation: The Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely partnered with a Triple Berry Blast or Rich Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
