Though cola is often the go-to drink for pizza, those who have a passion for juice understand that the perfect juice choice can enhance the pizza eating experience. At BrimWoodlane, we have partnered with culinary aficionados to curate juice combinations that pair impeccably with our pizzas. No matter if you are joining us on-site or grabbing your food to go, these tips will help you discover the ideal juice for each type of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Concoction or Pomegranate Fusion
A simple Margherita pizza, with its ripe tomatoes, milky mozzarella, and fragrant basil, pairs well with a juice that's not too dominant. A concoction of tomato and basil offers a zesty tartness that echoes the tang of the tomato, while having the substance to balance the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate fusion with a light body introduces delicate hints of red berries that sweeten the tomato notes and match the fine flavor of basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita goes hand in hand with our crafted Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a hint of sweetness, the local Pomegranate Blueberry Fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas crammed with salty cured meats like pepperoni or sausage are best enjoyed with drinks strong enough in body and flavor to complement their hearty taste. A spicy cherry juice, brimming with ripe fruit flavor and a kick of spice, is the ideal counterbalance to the salt and heat of the meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice, with its deep dark berry flavor and tart finish, slices through the richness of the savory meats.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons favor our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when savoring our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Berry of the Forest
The savory depth of mushrooms and truffles works wonders with juices that carry a grounding note. Beetroot juice, with its subtly sweet and earthy tones, pairs beautifully with the savory umami of fungi. A berry of the forest medley, too, presents a tapestry of berries that reflects the intricate earthiness found in the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our indulgent Wild Mushroom pizza teams up fantastically with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Berry of the Forest Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with fresh seafood like prawns or clams call for zesty juices that can highlight the oceanic flavors. A medley of citrus fruits offers bright and refreshing qualities that draw out the best in the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice, with its vibrant acidity and tropical undertones, complements without overshadowing the delicate flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Seafood Medley pizza is a perfect match with our zesty Citrus Medley or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Fusion
A vegetable-forward pizza is wonderfully supported by versatile juices with a hint of herbaceousness. The Green Cleanse juice, brimming with spinach, celery, and apple, amplifies the fresh tastes of bell peppers and artichokes, while Cucumber Melon Fusion brings a whisper of purity and a delicate weight that balances the robust variety of vegetables.
Our specific recommendation: The Garden Harvest pizza is perfectly complemented by our Daily Green Cleanse or the cool Cucumber Melon Fusion.
Quattro Formaggi: Nutty Almond or Fizzy Apple
The lavishness of a pizza with four different cheeses can be tackled with either a complementary or contrasting juice. A velvety almond milk intertwines its nutty notes with the cheese, enhancing its rich profile, whereas fizzy apple juice provides a contrast with its spritz and tartness, offering a delightful juxtaposition to the savory cheese flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese pizza is enhanced by sipping on our Vanilla Almond Milk or enjoying the crispness of Fizzy Apple.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Drink or Ginger Turmeric Fusion
Spiced-topped pizzas with elements like fiery sausage or chili flakes are well suited to creamy or zesty juices. A mango yogurt drink cools the heat while its creaminess softens the spice between bites. The Ginger Turmeric Fusion stands resilient against the spiciness and adds an exciting flavor contrast with its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our specific recommendation: The fiery kick of our Spicy Diavola pizza meets its match in our Homemade Mango Yogurt Drink or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Fusion.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Puree or Chocolate Almond Fusion
For those daring enough to try our dessert pizzas like the ones topped with Nutella and strawberries, a sweet juice is a must. A berry puree suits the fruit-topped variations, while a Chocolate Almond Fusion is divine with chocolate-hazelnut dessert pizzas. The key is to pair a drink that matches or exceeds the dessert's sweetness.
Our specific recommendation: The Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly with our Berry Burst Puree or indulgent Dark Chocolate Almond Fusion.
Guidance on Matching Pizza with Juice
- Look beyond the type of crust or sauce and focus on the pizza's dominant flavor
- Acidic juices tend to go hand in hand with tomato-based pizzas because of the inherent sourness of tomatoes
- Fizzy drinks are flexible pairings for nearly all pizza types
- Be adventurous with your choices – often the most unique combinations offer unforgettable experiences
At BrimWoodlane, our juice menu has expanded to include many of these recommended pairings. Our staff is excited to suggest the finest juice to accompany your pizza. You can also try different juices with a flight option, where you can sample three juices with your meal.
While these pairing guidelines can assist you in making a pleasing selection, ultimately, your own taste is what matters most. The optimal juice to pair with your pizza is always the one that you find most enjoyable.
