While soda may have been pizza's go-to drink for ages, those passionate about juice understand that an ideal juice blend can greatly enhance the pizza dining experience. At CoveJournalStudio, through collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've devised a series of juice recommendations that perfectly accompany our pizza offerings. These pairings are crafted to enhance your pizza, whether you're dining with us or enjoying your pizza in the comfort of your home.
Simple Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita's mix of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil demands a beverage that complements without dominating the subtle taste. A homemade tomato basil juice aligns well with the tomato's tanginess and supports the cheese's depth. On the other hand, a pomegranate mixture introduces elegant fruity undertones that enliven the tomato's sweet notes and the basil's fresh aroma.
Our top pick: Enjoy our Margherita with our specialized Tomato Basil Cooler or opt for a sweeter touch with a local Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Feast: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
The robust flavors of pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto-topped pizzas are best matched with juices that exhibit a full body and spiciness. A jam-like spiced cherry juice with a peppery kick pairs excellently with the meats' saltiness and heat. Alternatively, a blackcurrant juice brings forward dark berry notes with a tart edge that balances the meats' decadence.
Our top pick: Our patrons favor our handcrafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when enjoying our Meat Lovers pizza.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The savory depth of mushrooms and truffles on pizza is complemented by juices with grounding flavors. Beetroot juice, with subtle earthiness, mirrors the fungi's umami and its innate sweetness softens the rich flavors. A forest berry concoction can also be an excellent choice; its complex berry profile mimicking the pizza's earthy tones.
Our top pick: Savor our Wild Mushroom pizza with a Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or our Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Delight: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-centric pizzas such as those topped with prawns or clams pair impeccably with zesty juices exhibiting a mineral essence. A citrus mixture rejuvenates the seafood's taste with a lively zing that also balances the meal's overall palate. The high acidity of sea buckthorn juice, paired with tropical hints and slight tartness, enhances the seafood without overpowering its delicate flavors.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes splendidly with our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Garden Fresh Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
The diverse flavors present in vegetable-laden pizzas are best matched with multifaceted, herbaceous juices. A green detox mix, consisting of spinach, celery, and apple, echoes the taste spectrum of bell peppers and artichokes, while a cucumber melon drink delivers a whisper of coolness and lightness that sublimely complements various vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our top pick: Find perfect harmony when you pair our Garden Harvest pizza with our Daily Green Detox or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Decadent Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The creamy richness of a four-cheese pizza invites a drink that can either play up or cut through its intense flavor. Creamy almond milk resonates with nutty notes that accentuate the cheese blend's similar flavors. In contrast, effervescent apple juice brings in a bubbliness and tartness that together, lifts the heaviness, providing a refreshing antidote to the savory cheeses.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi is delightfully complemented with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas, emboldened with chili flakes or spicy sausage, are mellowed with creamy or zesty juices. A mango lassi temporarily quenches the heat with its smooth texture, offering solace between spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice can also stand up to the heat, providing compelling flavor contrast and touting anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top pick: Our Spicy Diavola is perfectly matched with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Tooth's Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Those venturing to try our dessert pizzas, like syrupy fruit or Nutella variations, deserve equally indulgent juices. A mixed berry smoothie harmonizes with fruit toppings, while chocolate almond milk creates a celestial match with chocolate-hazelnut toppings, ensuring the beverage matches the dessert's sweetness.
Our top pick: Indulge in our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza accompanied by a Triple Berry Blast or a Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
