Traditionally, soda is seen as the go-to drink for pizza lovers, but those passionate about juices understand that the right selection can take a pizza meal to the next level. At SoftCopperBreeze, we've partnered with local connoisseurs to craft juice pairings that perfectly accentuate our pizza offerings. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or choosing to dine at home, our expert suggestions will guide you to the right juice for your preferred pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, demands a juice that's subtle enough not to dominate its nuanced taste. A tomato basil juice homemade style provides just the right zing for the tomatoes and a robust structure against the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate blend that's light to the palate introduces fine red fruit accents that enrich the tomato's natural sweetness and the basil's earthy notes.
Our specific recommendation: Our own Tomato Basil Chiller or a Pomegranate Blueberry mix sourced from local producers is what we recommend with our Margherita.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spice-infused Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavily topped pizzas with cured meats, like pepperoni or sausage, pair well with juices that bring similar intensity and spiciness. A spiced cherry juice's deep fruit flavor and tingling spice counteracts the toppings' spice and salt nicely. Blackcurrant juice, on the other hand, has country-style dark fruit essences and a tarty finish that's a great balance to the meaty taste.
Our specific recommendation: With a Meat Feast pizza, our patrons especially enjoy our custom Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
For pizzas that feature the deep umami taste of mushrooms and truffles, juices with complementary profiles are a match. Beetroot juice unfolds gentle earthy fragrances that pair well with mushrooms. It's natural sweetness is also a perfect balance for truffle richness. A forest berry concoction is excellent too, bringing out intricate berry flavors that mimic the natural earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: With our Wild Mushroom pizza, we suggest trying it with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Concoction or a Wild Forest Berry Mix.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Crisp, minerally juices are the prime choice for seafood pizzas topped with prawns or clams. A citrus assortment refreshes while enhancing the seafood's flavors, the brightness helping to make the dish more enjoyable. Sea buckthorn juice, with its tropical flavors and fine sour touch, goes well without overshadowing the seafood's subtle taste.
Our specific recommendation: A Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes excellently with our Citrus Array or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas layered with veggies benefit from adaptable, aromatic juices. Green cleanse juice mixes spinach, celery, and apple capturing the essence of bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice is refreshingly soft and light, perfect for the plethora of vegetable textures, without being too overpowering.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza aligns superbly with Daily Green Purify or a Cool Cucumber Melon Hydrator.
Four Cheese Pizza: Smooth Almond or Fizzy Apple
The luxuriance of a four-cheese pizza can be complemented or contrasted. A nutty almond milk complements by echoing the cheese's nutty undertones, while a fizzy apple beverage provides a refreshing fizz and tartness to cut through the cheese richness, the fruity appeal serving as a fine contrast to the savory cheese mix.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi is lovely with a Vanilla Almond Elixir or a Bubbly Apple Tang.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Drink or Ginger Turmeric
Some pizzas come spiced up with chili, fiery sausage, or zesty honey, where soothing or spiced juices can offer relief. A mango yogurt drink chills the tongue while providing a creamy reprieve between bites. Ginger turmeric juice similarly complements the spice while adding an interesting flavor contrast and offering benefits for well-being.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is well matched with a Handcrafted Mango Yogurt Drink or a Firefly Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Puree or Chocolate Nut
For the bold explorers who try our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet beverages are indispensable. A mix of berry purees works well with fruit-covered dessert pizzas, while a chocolate nut milk is a divine companion for chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is a drink that matches or exceeds the dessert's sweetness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Pizza goes marvelously with a Berry Explosion Smoothie or Dark Chocolate Nut Milk.
