Gone are the days when soda was the main drink choice to go with a slice of pizza. Those who adore fresh juices know that the correct beverage can bring a pizza meal to a whole new level of enjoyment. At Crust & Dream Pizzeria, we've worked with culinary specialists to curate a list of juice suggestions that perfectly enhance our assortments. Whether you're indulging at our eatery or taking pleasure in our meals at home, these proposals will assist you in picking the most suitable juice for your optimal pizza style.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's pure flavors of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil demand a juice that respects their subtlety. Crafting a tomato basil juice at home provides a zesty kick that complements the tomatoes and a robustness that holds up to the cheese's richness. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate blend adds a refined berry note that accentuates tomato sweetness and harmonizes with the fragrant basil.
Our top pick: The Margherita goes wonderfully with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or a sweet, locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Meaty Pizzas Like Pepperoni: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas laden with savory cured meats such as pepperoni require beverages with sufficient heft and zest to align with the intense tastes. A jammy spicy cherry juice provides a fruity counterbalance and a piquant finish that pairs well with the salty, spicy meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice introduces a rustic dark fruit taste and a tangy sharpness that counteracts the meats' full flavors.
Our specific selection: Guests especially enjoy our unique Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Celebration pizza.
Fungi-Enhanced Pizzas: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas adorned with mushrooms, beetroot juice's subtle earthiness is a perfect match, and its inherent sweetness undercuts their heft. A blend of forest berries is another excellent accompaniment, offering layers of berry complexity that reflect the umami depth of the mushrooms.
Our specific selection: Our unique Wild Mushroom pizza partners beautifully with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or our Wild Forest Berry Combo.
Seafood Topped Pizzas: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas complement beautifully with bright, mineralistic beverages. A citrus blend refreshes and highlights seafood flavors while bringing lively zest to each slice. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its sharpness and tropical nuances, also works well with its understated tartness, balancing the seafood's subtle taste.
Our specific selection: The Mediterranean Seafood pizza finds its match with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable-Heavy Pizzas: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered in vegetables gain from adaptable, herb-infused juices. A green detox juice with greens like spinach, apple, and cucumber amplifies the veggie notes, while cucumber melon provides a tender coolness that complements the different textures without overshadowing them.
Our specific selection: The Garden Harvest pizza aligns perfectly with our Daily Green Detox or our Chilled Cucumber Melon Infusion.
Cheese-Laden Pizzas: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza meets its match either with a juice that echoes or cuts through the richness. Creamy almond milk offers nutty flavors that resonate with the cheeses, while a fizzy apple beverage introduces a palate-cleansing acidity and a fruity counterbalance to the savory ensemble.
Our specific selection: The Quattro Formaggi pizza is exquisitely paired with our Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Fizz.
For Spicy Pizza Evolution: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with a fiery character, imbued with chilli, call for soothing beverages. Mango lassi is perfect for tempering heat, while ginger turmeric supplies a robust flavor contrast and comes with the bonus of being anti-inflammatory.
Our specific selection: Our feverish Spicy Diavola is a perfect match for our Homemade Mango Lassi or our Firefly Ginger Turmeric Fusion.
Sweet Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For dessert pizzas with sweet toppings like Nutella, matching sweetness in your drink is key. A berry smoothie aligns with fruit-topped desserts, whereas a chocolate almond variety pairs divinely with chocolate-flavored toppings.
Our specific selection: Our Nutella and Strawberry Sweet Pizza is heavenly when complemented with our Triple Berry Blast or our Rich Chocolate Almond Drink.
