Despite soda being historically linked as pizza's go-to companion, juice lovers understand that a well-chosen juice can take a pizza meal from good to great. At BroadFenlane, our collaboration with local connoisseurs has led to tailored juice recommendations that are a perfect match for our pizza offerings. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, our pairing suggestions will aid in selecting the ideal juice to go along with your preferred pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The pure flavors of a Margherita pizza, characterized by fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, require a juice that complements without dominating. Tomato basil juice, made in-house, carries the right amount of tanginess to accompany the tomatoes, while providing the structural backbone to balance the creamy cheese. Or opt for a refreshing pomegranate blend, offering delicate red fruit undertones to highlight the tomato's sweetness and mesh well with the fresh basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our home-style Tomato Basil Cooler or a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local providers are especially delightful with our Margherita.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meat-heavy pizzas like those topped with pepperoni or sausage demand bold juices. Our in-house spiced cherry juice exhibits a rich fruit presence with a spicy kick that holds its own against the meatiness. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice provides dark fruit depths with a tart kick, helping it slice through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our handcrafted Spiced Cherry Elixir and Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are fan favorites for accompanying our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushroom and truffle toppings, known for their savory earthiness, pair well with juices that share a hint of the forest floor. Beetroot juice, pressed on-demand, harmonizes with the mushroom and truffle flavors with its sweet earthy undertones. A berry blend inspired by the forest's natural bounty works equally well, introducing a complex berry profile that complements the umami in the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a superb match for our Fresh Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas adorned with toppings like shrimp or clams flourish alongside crisp and minerally juices. Our Citrus Splash brings out the oceanic flavors, while offering vivacity to the whole taste experience. Sea buckthorn juice matches this context with its zesty high-acid traits and subtle sourness, ideal for sensitive seafood flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar makes for an exquisite coupling with our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
The array of flavors on a veggie-laden pizza can be enhanced by diverse, herby juices. Green detox juice—including spinach, celery, and apple—mirrors the flavors found on the pizza, like artichokes and bell peppers. The mild essence of a cucumber melon juice complements the range of vegetable flavors without competing with them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza harmonizes particularly well with our Daily Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Refreshment.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza demands a drink that can either match or contrast its richness. Creamy almond milk partners well with the cheese, thanks to its nutty undertones. As an alternative, sparkling apple juice can cut through the cheese's creaminess with fizz and tartness, providing a satisfying counterbalance.
Our specific recommendation: Our signature Quattro Formaggi pizza goes wonderfully with our Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas, laden with chili or piquant toppings, are nicely offset by creamy or spicy juices. Mango lassi offers a cooling touch, with creaminess to soothe the taste buds between spicy bites. Conversely, a ginger turmeric juice stands tall against the heat, adding a contrasting flavor profile and delivering healthful properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is complemented flawlessly by our Homemade Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Dessert pizzas, especially those dressed with Nutella or fruits, need sweet accompaniments. A mixed berry smoothie goes hand in hand with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond milk is divine with chocolate and hazelnut spreads. It is important that the juice matches the sweetness level of the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs divinely with the Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
