Traditionally, soda might be the go-to drink for pizza, but those who are passionate about juices know that a carefully chosen juice can substantially elevate the pizza-eating experience. At PinecreekWay Pizzeria, local connoisseurs have assisted us in curating a collection of juice recommendations that are the perfect complement to our pizza offerings. Enjoy our pairing suggestions in our dining space or with your takeaway meals and discover the ideal juice to accompany your preferred pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza, with its fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes, requires a juice that doesn't mask these subtle tastes. Tomato basil juice, with its refreshing tartness, pairs nicely with the fresh tomatoes and cuts through the cheese, while a pomegranate blend adds a refined sweetness that can accentuate the tomatoes and basil.
Our specific suggestion: Our Margherita pairs splendidly with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for an alternative that's a bit sweeter, the locally crafted Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meat-laden pizzas like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto require juices with a bold character and a hint of spice. The robust, peppery finish of spiced cherry juice complements the salty and spicy meat toppings. Meanwhile, blackcurrant juice provides deep dark fruit flavors and a satisfying tartness that slices through the richness of the meats.
Our specific suggestion: Particularly with our Meat Feast pizza, our patrons enjoy our house Spiced Cherry Elixir or our Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Pizzas topped with earthy ingredients like mushrooms and truffle need juices that can echo these flavors. The subtle earthiness of beetroot juice aligns with the taste of fungi, balancing out its richness, while a forest berry blend introduces complex berry flavors that synergize with the umami of the pizza.
Our specific suggestion: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a perfect match for the Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
On pizzas adorned with seafood such as prawns or clams, invigorating juices with mineral qualities are recommended. A citrus mix cuts through and brightens the seafood tastes with zesty notes, while sea buckthorn juice, noted for its sharp acidity and subtle tart flavors, complements the seafood without overshadowing it.
Our specific suggestion: Our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar makes a delightful match for our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable centric pizzas benefit from juices that can adapt to the array of flavors present, especially when herbal notes are involved. A green detox juice containing spinach, celery, and apple can echo the flavors of different vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes, while a juice made from cucumber melon offers a refreshing smoothness that complements the multiplicity of vegetable flavors.
Our specific suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in perfect unison with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
With the sumptuousness of a four-cheese pizza, one can opt for a beverage that either complements or contrasts the flavors. Creamy almond milk accentuates the nutty flavors present in the cheese mix, while a sparkling apple beverage, with its tanginess and effervescence, provides a contrasting taste and texture.
Our specific suggestion: Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp pairs exquisitely with our Quattro Formaggi pizza.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick, such as those with chili flakes, fiery sausage, or hot honey, choosing calming or spicy juices can be very satisfying. A creamy mango lassi can cool the palate and the creaminess helps ease the fiery sensation of spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice also stands strong against the heat and provides an interesting flavor contrast, along with health benefits.
Our specific suggestion: A Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost is an ideal pairing for our Spicy Diavola pizza.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For dessert pizzas adorned with Nutella and fruit, complementary sweet juices are essential. A mixed berry smoothie pairs well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk goes divinely with chocolate-hazelnut variations, ensuring the drink's sweetness matches the dessert's.
Our specific suggestion: Our Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk is a dream pairing for our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Focus on the pizza's dominant flavors rather than the crust or sauce type
- Juices high in acidity tend to go well with tomato-based pizzas because of the tomatoes' own acidic nature
- Sparkling juices are flexible and can pair with almost any type of pizza
- Experimenting is encouraged—unexpected combinations can create the most memorable tastes
