Though cola has often been the classic drink to accompany a slice of pizza, those fond of juices understand that an appropriate juice match can magnify the pizza dining experience. Partnering with culinary experts, MarshLanes Pizzeria has devised juice pairings that superbly complement our selection of pizzas. These pairings are ideal whether you're having a meal at our place or opting for a night in with our takeaway pizza, guiding you to discover the flawless juice match for your beloved style of pizza.
Essential Margherita: Juice of Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A basic Margherita pizza, with its light mix of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a beverage that balances its subtle notes. Tomato basil juice offers a vibrancy that pairs well with the tomatoes and is robust enough to hold its own against the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate combination offers a dainty, fruity taste that accentuates the tomatoes' sweetness and pairs well with basil.
Our top suggestion: Our Margherita goes hand in hand with our unique Tomato Basil Cooler or a Pomegranate Blueberry concoction procured locally for those who fancy a bit more sweetness.
Pepperoni and Meat Enthusiasts: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Concoctions
Meat-laden pizzas such as those topped with pepperoni, sausage, or ham benefit from juices that possess a full body and a spiced undertone to complement their pronounced taste profiles. A spicy cherry juice, merging juicy flavors with a sharp kick, counterbalances the toppings' savory and spicy nature perfectly. Blackcurrant juice can also be a worthy choice, with its deep fruit nuances and a tartness that slices through the meat's richness.
Our top suggestion: Our patrons are particularly fond of our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when enjoying our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Lovers: Beetroot or Forest Berry Blends
Mushroom and truffle-adorned pizzas, known for their savory and earthy flavor profiles, pair well with juices that bear similar characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy scent, is a wonderful match for fungi-laden pizzas, while also providing a sweet counterbalance to the savoriness. A forest berry mix is also effective, offering layered berry flavors that reflect the pizzas' grounding taste.
Our top suggestion: We recommend pairing our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Specialty: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Juices
Seafood pizzas adorned with ingredients such as shrimp or clams call for refreshing beverages with lively mineral qualities. A refreshing citrus mix amplifies the natural flavors of the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice makes for another top choice with its brisk acidity, island flair, and gentle tartness that does not overshadow the delicate seafood taste.
Our top suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is effortlessly complemented by our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetarian Delight: Vitalizing Greens or Cucumber Melon Quenchers
Pizzas adorned with a range of vegetables resonate with adaptable juices that possess a hint of greenery. A revitalizing green juice infused with spinach, celery, and apple synergizes with the flavors of the vegetables present on the pizza such as bell peppers and artichokes. A lighter cucumber melon juice offers a crisp freshness that can keep up with a diversity of vegetable flavors without overpowering them.
Our top suggestion: Our Vegetable Supreme pizza is in perfect sync with a serving of the Daily Green Detox or the cool Cucumber Melon Quench.
Quartet of Cheeses: Silky Almond or Carbonated Apple Juices
The creamy abundance of a four-cheese blend invites either a harmonizing or contrasting juice. Silky almond milk provides nutty undertones that parallel the cheesy profile. On the contrary, a bubbly apple juice, with its tang and effervescence, offers a refreshing cleave through the cheeses' creaminess, while its fruity aspect offers a delightful contrast.
Our top suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pie is wonderfully complemented by our Vanilla Almond Drink or Sparkling Apple Crisp beverage.
Zesty Pizzas: Mango Lassi or a Ginger Turmeric Infusion
For pizzas brimming with zest from chili flakes or piquant toppings, smooth or spiced juices deliver a comforting reservoir. Mango lassi provides a cooling sensation and its creamy consistency is a relief between spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice holds its own against potent spices while adding an alluring contrast of flavor along with health-friendly properties.
Our top suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is the perfect partner for our Homemade Mango Lassi or our Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dolce Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Almond Chocolate Blends
For those brave enough to indulge in our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruits, a sweet juice is key. A mixed berry smoothie pairs beautifully with fruit-covered dessert pizzas, while almond chocolate milk forms a heavenly combination with chocolate-hazelnut varieties. The crucial factor is to ensure the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert itself.
Our top suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry dessert pizza is divine with a Triple Berry Blend or a Dark Chocolate Almond Beverage.
Guidance on Pairing Pizza with Juice
- Focus on the foremost flavor of the pizza, not merely the crust or sauce
- Typically, high-acid juices are favorable with pizzas based around tomatoes due to the natural acidity of the fruit
- Effervescent juices are versatile and can pair with a wide variety of pizzas
- Experimentation is encouraged—unexpected combinations sometimes yield the most enjoyable dining experiences
At MarshLanes Pizzeria, our juice selections now include many of these pairing suggestions. Our crew is always eager to recommend the perfect juice with your chosen pizza. We also feature juice flights for those who wish to sample an assortment of three different juices with their meal.
While these tips will guide you to pleasing pairings, individual taste preferences are paramount. The best juice for your pizza is ultimately the one you most enjoy drinking!
