While carbonated drinks are traditionally seen as pizza's go-to partner, those who love juice understand that a well-chosen juice can elevate the pizza experience. At CommunityIndexPortal, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've put together a selection of juice pairings that wonderfully match our range of pizzas. Whether you're savoring our pizzas in-house or at home, our guide will assist you in discovering the ideal juice to accompany your chosen pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A simplistic Margherita pizza with its combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that doesn't overshadow the subtle flavors. A homemade juice of tomato and basil offers a refreshing tartness that aligns with the tomato flavors and stands up well to the creamy cheese. On the other hand, a light pomegranate blend introduces delightful berry flavors that liven up the tomatoes' sweetness and meld well with the fresh basil.
Our top pick: We recommend enjoying our Margherita alongside our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or a sweet, local Pomegranate Blueberry mix for those preferring something sweeter.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas enriched with cured meats like pepperoni and sausage, you'll want juices that are rich enough and slightly spicy to balance the strong flavors. A Spiced cherry juice provides a fruity viscosity and a hint of spice that pairs well with the savory and spicy meats. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice, offering deep berry flavors and a refreshingly tart edge, complements the richness of the meat toppings.
Our top pick: Our patrons often prefer our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when they choose our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas adorned with earthy treasures like mushrooms and truffles, you'd want juices that echo these flavors. Beetroot juice with its subtle earthiness wonderfully allies with mushroom flavors, also balancing out the savoriness with its natural sweetness. A forest berry blend is also a great choice as it brings a depth of berry notes that resonate with the earthy tone of the pizza toppings.
Our top pick: Complement our Wild Mushroom pizza with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas topped with sea delights like shrimp or clams are perfectly suited to zesty juices with mineral-like qualities. A citrus blend refreshes the palate and brings brightness to the mix, complementing the seafood's flavor profile. Additionally, sea buckthorn juice, with its vibrant acidity and hints of tropical flavor, pairs seamlessly, offering a palate-cleansing tartness without overbearing the seafood's delicate tastes.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a perfect match with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
A pizza laden with a variety of vegetables benefits from a juice that's dynamic and possibly has an herbaceous twist. A Green Detox juice incorporating spinach, celery, and apple accentuates and enriches the flavor profile of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, a Cucumber Melon juice with its understated freshness nicely complements the diverse vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our top pick: The assortment of veggies on our Garden Harvest pizza pairs impeccably with our Daily Green Detox or the refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The indulgence of a pizza with four varieties of cheese demands either a drink that complements or contrasts its richness. A creamy almond milk offers nutty undertones that echo the cheesy flavors, whereas a fizzy apple juice brings a welcoming contrast with its bubbles cutting through the richness and its fruity tang providing a delightful alternative to the savory cheeses.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is effortlessly paired with our Vanilla Almond Milk or an effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas adorned with chili, spicy sausage, or hot honey are well-tamed by creamy or fiery juices. A Mango Lassi provides a cooling effect on the palate, its creamy texture offering solace after each spicy bite. A Ginger Turmeric juice stands up valiantly to spiciness while presenting an alluring flavor contrast and healthful benefits.
Our top pick: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza matches splendidly with our Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Dessert pizzas with a bold move like a Nutella topping and fruit require drinks with a sweet edge. Berries in a smoothie mirror the sweetness of fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while a succulent chocolate almond milk creates an opulent coupling with chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The balance effectively comes from ensuring that the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with our Triple Berry Blast or the indulgent Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Focus on the dominant flavor of the pizza, rather than the type of crust or sauce

- Be adventurous and experiment – unexpected combinations can lead to memorable experiences
