While carbonated drinks are often seen as the go-to choice for pizza, those who love juice recognize that an appropriate juice combo can take a pizza meal to the next level. At HolmQuarry, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we present juice suggestions that pair splendidly with our pizzas. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or ordering to enjoy at home, these curated pairings will assist you in selecting the ideal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
The unadorned elegance of a Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, necessitates a juice that doesn't overshadow these nuanced flavors. A house-made tomato basil juice complements the tomatoes' tanginess while holding its own against the cheese. Alternatively, a pomegranate juice with a lighter body introduces refined berry notes that play off the sweetness of the tomatoes and the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita pairs exquisitely with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweet twist, a regionally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lover's: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizza with hefty toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or ham demands juices with substantial body and a hint of spice to balance the assertive flavors. A jam-like spicy cherry juice with a zesty kick combats the saltiness and heat of the meats. As an alternative, blackcurrant juice, with its deep berry flavors and refreshing tart finish, slices through the meat's decadence.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons are particularly fond of our custom-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Lover's pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The distinct umami and earthy taste of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices that possess deep flavors. Beetroot juice not only parallels the earthiness but its sweetness counters the denseness. A juice blend comprised of forest berries is also successful, as it unfolds lush berry flavors that reflect the soil-like qualities of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our exclusive Wild Mushroom pizza goes hand-in-hand with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or our Wild Forest Berry Mix.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Pizza with toppings of shrimp, scallops, or similar seafood delights benefits from crisp juices that bear a mineral essence. A blend of zesty citrus fruit juices revitalizes the palate and complements the seafood, while the lively notes lighten the dish. Sea buckthorn juice with its punchy acidity, exotic flair, and mild sourness pairs perfectly without overshadowing the delicate seafood flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is divine when served with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Juice.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with a bounty of veggies match wonderfully with juices that offer herbal notes and versatility. A green detox juice encompassing spinach, celery, and apple accentuates and amplifies the tastes of bell peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. Alternatively, a juice featuring cucumber and melon provides a cool, understated freshness, and its lightness complements an assortment of vegetable textures without being dominating.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Feast pizza finds its perfect complement in our Daily Green Detox or the refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon blend.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
A four-cheese pizza's richness summons a juice with either a similar richness or a contrasting profile. Creamy almond milk enhances the cheese with its nutty tones, while a bubbling apple juice offers a sharp contrast. Its fizziness and acidity cut through the cheese's lushness, and its fruity zest provides a delightful counterbalance to the savory profile of the cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully matched with our Vanilla Almond Milk or the spirited Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas laced with chili, spiced sausages, or piquant honey, juices that are creamy or spiced provide soothing reliefs. A mango lassi calms the palate with its creamy texture and cooling properties between spicy bites. A ginger turmeric juice is also effective, offering a captivating contrast in flavors while bringing anti-inflammatory benefits to the table.
Our specific recommendation: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza meets its match in our house-blended Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Zest.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Milk
For the bold palates that sample our dessert pizzas dressed with Nutella and fruits, sweet beverages are a must. A smoothie made from an assortment of berries accents the flavor of fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate-flavored almond milk offers a divine coupling with chocolate and hazelnut varieties. The ideal beverage should possess a sweetness level that is on par with the dessert it accompanies.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when served with the Triple Berry Smoothie or our luscious Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
Advice for Complementing Pizza with Juice
- Focus on the primary flavor of the pizza rather than solely on crust or sauce types.
- Juices with a higher acidity tend to pair well with tomato-centric pizzas, echoing the natural acidic taste.
- Fizzy juices offer great versatility, matching well with many pizza variants.
- Embrace experimentation—unexpected combinations can often yield the most delightful dining experiences.
