Historically, soda may have been the go-to drink for pizza, but those who love juice recognize that the right juice combination can take a pizza meal to another level. At Crust & Craft Pizzeria, we've joined forces with regionally renowned connoisseurs to craft juice suggestions that are a perfect fit for our offerings. Whether you are indulging in our restaurant or at your home, these tips will assist you in discovering the ultimate juice accompaniment for your preferred kind of pizza.
Traditionaך Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The classic Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil needs a juice that doesn't overshadow its subtle tastes. A house-prepared tomato basil juice provides a complementary acidity and structure, while a delicate pomegranate concoction introduces soft notes of red fruit that align well with the sweet tomato and aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our famed Margherita pizza is a delight when paired with either our custom Tomato Basil Cooler or a refined Pomegranate Blueberry mix sourced from local producers.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizza topped with rich meats like pepperoni and sausage, opt for juices that are robust and spicy to match the strong flavors. A Spiced cherry juice blends sweet fruitiness with a spicy kick that copes well with meaty toppings, while blackcurrant juice delivers deep fruit flavors and a tart edge to slice through the hearty meats.
Our specific recommendation: The Spiced Cherry Elixir made in our kitchen or our Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are guest-favorites alongside our hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For the rich savory flavors of mushrooms and truffle-based pizzas, you need juices with depth. Beetroot juice introduces a subtle earthiness and natural sweetness which pairs seamlessly with mushrooms, whereas a forest berry mix captures complex berry flavors that echo the unique taste of these pizzas.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is magnificently matched with our pure Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas with seafood such as prawns and clams are complemented by crisp, mineral juices. A bright citrus mix refreshes the palate and elevates the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice comes with a tropical touch and light tang that doesn't outshine the delicate seafood tastes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar are excellent complements to our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-heavy pizzas are enhanced by versatile, herbal juices. Green detox drinks with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple, bolster the flavors of the vegetable toppings, while cucumber melon juice adds mild freshness that's perfect for the mix of veggie textures without dominating them.
Our specific recommendation: The array of vegetables on our Garden Harvest pizza is impeccably balanced with either our Daily Green Detox or a cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza's creaminess suits both complementary and contrasting juice pairings. Creamy almond milk echoes the nuttiness of the cheeses while a fizzy apple juice brings a fresh sharpness to slice through the cheese's intensity.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi is a delight when enjoyed with a Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with items like hot peppers and spicy meats pair well with creamy or boldly flavored juices. A Mango lassi soothes the heat with its creaminess, and a Ginger Turmeric juice can stand up to the spiciness while delivering vibrant and beneficial flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost are both excellent mates for our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Our unique Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas require companion drinks that are on the sweeter side. Berry smoothies support fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk is divine with chocolate-hazelnut creations, ensuring the beverage is as sweet as the dessert it accompanies.
Our specific recommendation: The Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk provide sublime enjoyment with our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza.
