While cola is the classic go-to for a pizza drink, those with an appreciation for juice understand that a fine juice selection can transform a pizza meal. Here at TheCuriousCollective, our collaboration with culinary specialists has led to curated juice pairings that brilliantly match our pizza offerings. Enjoy these pairings whether you're visiting our eatery or indulging in our pizza at home, and discover the impeccable juice to accompany your preferred type of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
The pure and uncomplicated tastes of Margherita pizza featuring fresh mozzarella, succulent tomatoes, and aromatic basil, benefit from a beverage that accents its flavors without dominating them. A from-scratch tomato basil juice underscores the acidic brightness of the tomatoes while balancing out the mozzarella's creaminess. Alternatively, a delicate pomegranate fusion can amplify the tomato's natural sweetness and marry well with the basil's freshness.
Our expert choice: Our handcrafted Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend sourced from local producers is our preferred choice with our Margherita pizza.
Pepperoni and Meat-Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Dark Blackcurrant
For pizzas overladen with cured meats like pepperoni or hearty sausages, choose a juice with the substance and spiciness to complement their robust taste. A Spicy Cherry juice, with its rich fruit flavor and hint of heat, competes well against the salt and zest of meat-laden pizzas. Blackcurrant juice with its deep, dark fruit notes and tangy edge can also contrast the greasiness of the assorted meats.
Our expert choice: Customers often prefer our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Pure Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our signature Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Pizza: Beetroot or Mixed Berry
Earthy and savorous mushroom and truffle pizza calls for a juice which embodies similar qualities. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthiness, is a fine match for the flavors of mushrooms, and its natural sugar content helps to offset the savory taste. A mixed berry blend also serves well, bringing together complex berry accents that resonate with the earthly essence of the pizza.
Our expert choice: We suggest your selection of our Wild Mushroom pizza with our Fresh-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Mixed Berry Elixir.
Seafood Pizza: Zesty Citrus or Tangy Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas containing seafood such as prawns or clams pair delightfully with crisp juices that offer a mineralic undertone. A citrus mix refreshes and enhances the seafood's natural flavors, its zesty punch further enlivening the meal. Sea Buckthorn juice is another superb option, distinctive for its pronounced acidity and hints of tropical zest, complementing seafood without overwhelming it.
Our expert choice: Our Coastal Seafood pizza is a perfect match for our invigorating Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Rejuvenating Green or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas adorned with a variety of vegetables stand out with juices that share a versatility and have hints of herbs. A cleansing green juice, comprising spinach, celery, and apple, echoes the flavors of the toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Alternatively, Cucumber Melon juice with its understated essence and lightweight nature complements the array of vegetables without overshadowing them.
Our expert choice: Our vegetable-packed Garden Harvest pizza resonates wonderfully with our Nourishing Green Detox or Cool Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Four Cheese Pizza: Nutty Almond or Effervescent Apple
A decadent four-cheese pizza requires a drink that can either highlight or contrast its opulent profile. Nutty almond milk resonates with the cheeses, bringing out similar nutty qualities. On the other hand, a bubbly apple juice provides a refreshing contrast, slicing through the cheeses' richness with its effervescence and tangy apple taste.
Our expert choice: Vanilla-infused Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Fizz pairs excellently with our Quattro Formaggi pizza.
Spicy Pizzas: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick, from chili toppings to spicy salami, juices that are creamy or carry a mild spice deliver a soothing effect. A Mango Lassi eases fiery palettes with its smooth texture and a Ginger Turmeric juice is wonderful against the spiciness, also providing a compelling flavor contrast and health benefits.
Our expert choice: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is perfectly complemented by our Homemade Mango Lassi or Invigorating Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Fusion Smoothie or Silky Chocolate Almond
For the daring who attempt our sweet pizzas, rich juices are a must. A Berry Fusion Smoothie suits fruit-laden dessert pizzas beautifully, while a Chocolate Almond milk delivers an exquisite coupling with chocolate and nutty flavors. The secret lies in selecting a beverage that meets or exceeds the dessert's sweetness level.
Our expert choice: A Berry Blast Smoothie or Luxurious Dark Chocolate Almond Milk is the choice duo with our Strawberry and Nutella Dessert Pizza.
