Though cola is a longstanding favorite to pair with pizza, aficionados of juice are aware that the right juice pairing can raise your pizza indulgence to unprecedented levels. At QuietFootHill, we've engaged with community specialists to craft an array of juice pairings that are the perfect match for our culinary offerings. Whether you're savoring a meal at our eatery or relishing a carryout at your abode, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice to accompany your preferred pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The classic Margherita pizza with its harmony of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil benefits from a juice that doesn't surpass these subtle tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice brings a vibrant tanginess in line with the tomatoes and stands firm against the cheese. An option is a pomegranate blend with a lighter body, carrying sophisticated hints of red fruit that magnify the tomato's sweetness and the basil's aromatic quality.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest enjoying our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter touch, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas loaded with preserved meats such as pepperoni or sausage, choose juices with a full body and a speck of spice to contend with the pronounced flavors. Spiced cherry juice, with its thick fruit essence and sharp end, beautifully balances the salty and spicy elements in meaty toppings. An excellent alternative is blackcurrant juice, which brings forward dark berry notes with a refreshingly tart finish that slices through the meats' savoriness.
Our specific recommendation: Guests frequently enjoy our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with a hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The deep, umami essence of mushrooms and truffles necessitates a juice with comparable characteristics. Beetroot juice provides subtle earth-toned scents that pair well with forest flavors, and its sweetness offers a counterpoint to the decadence. A forest berry mix is also delectable, as it forms intricate berry flavors that mirror the natural earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a treat with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas such as those with prawns or clams go best with crisp juices that carry mineral hints. A citrus mix delivers a refreshing palate that brightens seafood notes, plus lively accents that balance the whole dining experience. Sea buckthorn juice is another prime choice, with its robust acidity, exotic flavors, and a smooth tang that nicely complement delicate seafood textures.
Our specific recommendation: A Mediterranean Seafood pizza is exquisitely enhanced with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-forward pizzas with their ambit of tastes are best accompanied by adaptable, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice composed of spinach, celery, and apple mimics and heightens the flavors of bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice introduces a fine freshness and a mild depth that respects the diverse textures of vegetables without dominating them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza marries perfectly with a Daily Green Detox or a cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza's opulence necessitates a juice that offers either a complementary or contrasting character. A velvety almond drink carries nutty flavors that reflect the cheese's own richness. Alternatively, a sparkly apple drink presents bubbles and sharpness that slice through the creamy cheese while the fruity aroma provides a delightful counterbalance to the savory profile.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully paired with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with chili, spicy sausage, or fiery honey, smooth or spicy juices bring comfort. Mango lassi cools your mouth and its creamy consistency is calming between bites. A ginger turmeric drink can also handle the heat while offering a fascinating flavor divergence and the bonus of anti-inflammatory qualities.
Our specific recommendation: Our zesty Spicy Diavola pizza is the perfect companion for Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the daring tasters of our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, pleasingly sweet juices are necessary. A mixed berry smoothie pairs beautifully with fruit-draped dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond drink creates a celestial pairing with pizzas featuring chocolate-hazelnut toppings. The crucial factor is the drink's sweetness which should match or exceed the dessert's own.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza goes divinely with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
