Though cola might have been pizza's go-to partner historically, those who relish juices acknowledge that the ideal juice can take a pizza dining experience to another level. At LatchGrove, working together with culinary gurus, we've put together juice pairings that are the perfect accompaniment to our pizza menu. Whether you're savoring our offering in-house or at your own abode, these combinations are sure to guide you to the juice that best suits your pizza preference.
Iconic Margherita: Tomato Basil Mix or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil, necessitates a juice that enhances rather than obscures its subtle flavor profile. A house-made tomato basil concoction presents a lively tang that mirrors the tomato while not being lost against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate mix with a lighter body introduces a sophisticated red fruit aroma that augments the tomatoes' sweetness and meshes well with the basil's green notes.
Our particular suggestion: A Margherita comes alive with our own Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a locally-obtained Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Aficionado: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas topped with robust meats like pepperoni, sausage, or bacon, juices with a substantive nature and a hint of spice are the ideal match. A Spicy Cherry juice characterized by its lush, fruity essence and a kick of heat complements the umami and spice of meat toppings. Blackcurrant juice is also fitting, delivering dark, rustic fruit tones and a pleasing tartness that slices through the richness of meaty layers.
Our particular suggestion: Our Spiced Cherry Elixir handmade or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme fits like a glove with our Meat Lover’s pizza.
Wild Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushroom and truffle-inspired pizzas with their intrinsic earthy and savory flavors call for juices with depth. Beetroot juice, with its mild earthy essences, plays well against the taste of mushrooms, and its inherent sweetness tempers the richness. A Forest Berry blend is also a seamless fit as it uncovers intricate berry flavors that resonate with the earthiness of the dish.
Our particular suggestion: Reach for our Wild Mushroom pizza matched with Fresh-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Combo.
Seafood Specialty: Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with seafood such as shrimp or scallops favor crisp juices with a trace of mineral undertones. A Citrus mix revitalizes the palate with a zesty note that catalyzes seafood flavors, providing a light and refreshing counterbalance. Sea buckthorn juice stands out as well, with its sharp acidity, exotic flair, and gentle tartness that complements a delicate seafood spread.
Our particular suggestion: A Citrus Fusion or Organic Sea Buckthorn Juice is a befitting choice for our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Veggie Extravaganza: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-laden pizzas feature a myriad of tastes, benefiting from adaptable juices with an herbal nuance. A 'Green Detox' concoction, loaded with spinach, celery, and apple, reminds one of the flavors of bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, a Cucumber Melon juice, with its understated coolness and mellow body, supports the varied textures of the vegetables without overpowering them.
Our particular suggestion: Our Vegetable Supreme pie pairs immaculately with the Daily Green Detox or Refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon.
Four Cheese: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
A pizza heaped with a quartet of cheeses can be paired with a juice that either complements or contrasts it. Creamy almond milk provides a congruent nutty taste that elevates the cheesy flavors. In contrast, a fizzy apple juice penetrates the cheese's richness with its bubbles and tang, its fruity zest offering an enjoyable contrast.
Our particular suggestion: Our Four Cheese pizza is amply paired with our Vanilla Almond Beverage or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas that sport chili, hot sausage, or fiery sauces benefit from either cooling or spirited juices. A creamy Mango Lassi cools the palate, and its velvety texture offers relief between fiery mouthfuls. A Ginger Turmeric juice counters the heat while providing a tantalizing flavor contrast, alongside health-boosting attributes.
Our particular suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly matched with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric concoction.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Dessert pizzas such as those topped with Nutella and fruit necessitate sweet juices. A Mixed Berry Smoothie aligns with fruity dessert pizzas, while a rich Chocolate Almond Milk offers a divine partnership with chocolate-hazelnut toppings. The beverage should match or surpass the dessert in sweetness.
Our particular suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza combines divinely with the Triple Berry Blast or Indulgent Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
Guidance on Matching Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the pizza’s primary flavor rather than just the crust or sauce
- Acidic juices typically pair well with tomato-centric pizzas, reflecting the ingredient's natural acidity
- Fizzy juices offer flexibility and can accompany almost any pizza variation
- Adventure is encouraged—unorthodox pairings can sometimes lead to extraordinary dining experiences
At LatchGrove, our beverage selection has grown to encompass these various suggested pairings. Our team is ever-willing to recommend the perfect juice to go with your pizza pick. You can even try a juice flight to sample a trio of different juices with your meal.
While these guidelines are a good starting point for finding harmonious juice-pizza combinations, your own taste preferences are the ultimate judge. Your favorite pairing will always be the juice that you most enjoy drinking alongside your pizza.
