While carbonated soft drinks are often the go-to for pizza pairings, aficionados of juice understand that a thoughtful juice combination can immensely enhance the pizza eating experience. At MellowAtlas, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we have curated a selection of juice suggestions that flawlessly pair with our range of pizzas. These pairings will delight your palate whether you’re enjoying our dishes within the comfort of our eatery or in the coziness of your abode.
Traditional Margherita: Juice of Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza, with its clean flavors of ripe tomatoes, soft mozzarella, and aromatic basil, demands a juice that can complement without overshadowing. A freshly prepared juice of tomato and basil provides a zesty vibrancy that mirrors the tomatoes while having the structure to balance out the cheese. Alternatively, a gentle Pomegranate blend introduces subtle, sweet fruitiness that can enhance the tomatoes and pair with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: We're fond of combining our Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a touch of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local sources.
Pepperoni and Meat-Filled Pizzas: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas heaped with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto are best enjoyed with juices boasting bold, sculpted flavors and a hint of spice. A Spiced Cherry juice comes with a full-bodied fruit presence and a peppery edge, which holds strong against the salty and spicy toppings. For a different take, a Blackcurrant juice offers deep, dark fruit flavors with an enjoyably tart edge to slice through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons often prefer our Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme to accompany our meat-laden pizzas.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Forest Berry Juice
The deep umami tones of mushrooms and the distinct taste of truffles necessitate juices with equivalent depth. Beet juice gracefully accompanies mushroom flavors with its mild earthiness and innate sweetness, adjusting the overall richness. A medley of forest berries is fitting, as it brings out complex berry flavors that resonate with the earthiness of the pizza toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is complemented well by Cold-Pressed Beet Juice or a medley of Wild Forest Berries.
Seafood-Packed Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Pizzas adorned with seafood, such as prawns or clams, pair wonderfully with zesty juices that carry mineral hints. A Citrus Medley is refreshing and effectively accentuates seafood flavors, while Sea Buckthorn juice provides a tart, high-acid, tropical note that is not overwhelming for the delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is marvelously supplemented by our Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Revitalizing Juice or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas laden with vegetables come with a complex bouquet of flavors that work best with a juice carrying herbal notes. A green revitalizing juice, which could include spinach, celery, and apple, enhances the natural flavors of bell peppers and artichokes among other vegetables. On the other hand, the gently refreshing character of a Cucumber Melon juice complements the mixed texture of the vegetables without being overbearing.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Supreme pizza is perfectly balanced by our Daily Green Revitalize or the Cucumber Melon Chiller.
Quattro Formaggi: Silky Almond or Fizzy Apple
The dense character of a Four Cheese pizza suits both complementary and contrasting juice accompaniments. A smooth Almond drink offers nutty notes that can bring out similar traits in the cheese, while a bubbly apple juice provides a sharp contrast with its acidity and sparkling nature, tempering the heaviness of the cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi is a wonderful match with our Vanilla Almond Beverage or a Fizzy Apple concoction.
Pizzas with a Kick: Mango Smoothie or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas flavored with chili, spicy sausages, or hot sauces, beverages with a creamy texture or a touch of spice provide a welcome sensation. A Mango Smoothie cools and creams the palate, while a Ginger Turmeric drink confronts the spice with appealing contrasts and offers anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our spicy specialty pizza is complemented greatly by a Homemade Mango Smoothie or a Fiery Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Desert Pizzas: Berry Blend or Chocolaty Almond
For those daredevils trying out our Nutella and assorted fruit pizzas, juices with a sweet note are indispensable. A blend of various berries suits pizzas with fruit toppings, and a Chocolate Almond drink pairs divinely with chocolate-hazelnut toppings. The drink should ideally be as sweet, if not sweeter, than your dessert pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Berries Dessert Pizza goes sublimely with either the Berry Fusion Smoothie or a velvety Chocolate Almond drink.
