Although soda is traditionally the go-to drink for pizza, those who love juice realize that a well-chosen juice can take a pizza meal to greater enjoyment. At HumbleOrbitLabs, we've teamed up with local connoisseurs to curate juice combinations that enhance the flavors of our pizzas. These pairings aim to perfect your pizza whether you're eating out or ordering in.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's simple taste profile of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil benefits from a beverage that doesn't dominate its subtle flavors. A homemade tomato basil juice provides peppery vibrancy that echoes the pizza's tomatoes, complementing the dish without overshadowing the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate blend offers light red fruit flavors that bring out the tomato's sweetness and the basil's green freshness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita is a delight when paired with our special Tomato Basil Delight or the slightly sweeter Pomegranate Blueberry Fusion from local sources.
Pepperoni and Carnivore's Delight: Cherry Spice or Blackcurrant
Pizzas laden with pepperoni, sausage, or other cured meats require a juice with a robust body and spice to stand toe-to-toe with their strong taste profiles. Cherry juice infused with spices has a fruitiness and a spicy kick that balances out the meat's saltiness and heat. Blackcurrant juice is another tremendous match, offering earthy dark berry tastes and a tartness that slices through the meat's heft.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly savor our homecrafted Spicy Cherry Tonic or the Organic Blackcurrant Indulgence with our meat-topped pizza selections.
Fungi and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Mixed Berries
The earthy, savory tones of mushrooms and truffles are well matched with juices that echo their complexity. Beet juice complements these flavors with its subtle ground notes and sweet undertone. A mixed berry juice also pairs well, with layered berry tones that resonate with the pizza's earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Exotic Mushroom pizza with Fresh Beetroot Elixir or the Berry Forest Symphony.
Maritime Pizza: Zesty Citrus or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas are best accompanied by crisp juices infused with mineral elements. A citrus juice blend, with its refreshing zest, complements the briny seafood and cuts through its richness. Sea buckthorn juice shines as another suitable option with its punch of acidity and nuanced tartness that respects the seafood's mildness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Bounty pizza is elevated when paired with our Zesty Citrus Fusion or Pure Sea Buckthorn Essence.
Verdant Veggie: Cleansing Greens or Cucumber Mint
Pizzas topped with a generous selection of vegetables harmonize with juices that carry herby and clean notes. A green juice featuring spinach, celery, and apple reinforces the garden taste of peppers and artichokes, while cucumber mint juice is subtly refreshing and works fantastically with diverse vegetable textures.
Our specific recommendation: Our Hearty Veggie pizza resonates with the Vital Green Detox or the Crisp Cucumber Mint Cooler.
Quattro Formaggi: Silky Almond or Bubbly Apple
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza can be paired by either complementing or contrasting the flavors. Silky almond milk harmonizes with creamy, nutty notes that elevate the cheese blend. In contrast, a carbonated apple juice cuts through the cheese's richness with its bubbles and tangy taste, creating a delightful dance of flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese Sensation pairs exquisitely with Silken Vanilla Almond Beverage or Effervescent Apple Delight.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Blend or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas adorned with spicy ingredients, beverages offering cooling or spicy sensations provide relief. Mango yogurt blend soothes the palate with its creaminess and mild spices between spicy bites. Alternatively, the robust Ginger Turmeric juice complements the spiciness and provides an intriguing flavor contrast.
Our specific recommendation: The Spicy Calabrese pizza is a perfect match for our Artisan Mango Yogurt Smoothie or the Fiery Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Sweet Treat Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or Almond Chocolate
For the adventurous souls sampling our dessert pizzas topped with Nutella and fruits, sweet juices are a must. A smoothie bursting with mixed berries celebrates the fruit toppings on dessert pizzas, while a chocolatey almond milk is divine with variations featuring chocolate and hazelnuts. It's essential that the beverage sweetness matches or exceeds the pizza's.
Our specific recommendation: The Strawberry Delight Dessert Pizza is heavenly when enjoyed with our Berry Fusion Smoothie or the Decadent Chocolate Almond Elixir.
