Though carbonated drinks have been traditionally favored with pizza, those who adore juice recognize that an apt juice match can take a pizza meal to greater heights. At CloverByteFarm, we've joined forces with area connoisseurs to assemble a list of juice pairings that align flawlessly with our dishes. Enjoy these pairings in our eatery or with a carryout meal, and they will guide you to the ideal juice for every style of pizza you savor.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or a Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, pairs well with a juice that doesn't dominate its understated tastes. A house-made tomato basil juice brings a bright acidity that echoes the tomato flavors, robust enough to balance the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate fusion introduces refined notes of red fruits that playfully brighten the tomatoes and marry well with the basil's fresh flavor.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Margherita is a delight with our special Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a Pomegranate Blueberry fusion sourced locally.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas heaped with meats like pepperoni, sausage, or ham benefit from juices that are sufficiently robust and spicy to contend with the rich flavors. A homemade spicy cherry juice has a jam-like fruitiness and a zesty finish that holds its own against the savory meats. Blackcurrant juice is another excellent alternative, offering deeply rustic fruit tastes with a tangy sharpness that slices through the meat's luxuriance.
Our tailored suggestion: Patrons particularly relish our home-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when paired with our Meat Lovers' pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Berry Mix from the Woods
The nuanced, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffles are best complemented by juices with similar characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy scent, pairs wonderfully with mushroom flavors, while its innate sweetness helps neutralize the opulence. A blend of berries from the forest is also exceptional, as it develops a complexity of berry tones that match the earthiness of the ingredients on the pizza.
Our tailored suggestion: Sample our Wild Mushroom pizza with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Berry Mix from the Forest.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas, adorned with ingredients like prawns or clams, are ideally matched with crisp juices that exhibit mineral-like notes. A medley of citrus brings zestful refreshment that accentuates the flavors of the sea, while its sharp characteristics lighten the whole gastronomic experience. Sea buckthorn juice shines as well, deft in its high acidity, hints of tropical essence, and mild tartness that align without overshadowing the delicate seafood.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs splendidly with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Supreme Vegetables: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-centric pizzas, with their mix of tastes, stand up well to juices with herbal notes. A green detox juice concoction containing spinach, celery, and apple reflects and bolsters the flavor profile of mixed vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, a cucumber melon juice introduces a refined freshness and a gentle body that complements various vegetable textures without becoming overpowering.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Garden Delight pizza finds its ideal counterpart in our Daily Green Detox or a refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon.
Four Cheese Pizza: Nutty Almond or Sparkling Apple
A rich four-cheese pizza calls for a juice that either complements or contrasts its luxurious profile. Nutty almond juice mirrors nutty elements that resonate with the blend of cheeses. Conversely, a bubbly apple juice, through its fizz and tartness, sheers through the richness, and its fruity zest provides a delightful foil to the savory cheeses.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Quad Cheese pizza is a treat with either Vanilla Almond Juice or Bubbly Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Blend or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy-kissed pizzas, laced with chili, piquant sausage, or zesty honey, are soothed by creamy or spicy juices. A Mango yogurt blend allays the heat while the milky texture pacifies the tongue in between bites. The Ginger Turmeric juice also confidently stands up to the spicy aspect, bringing an engaging contrast in flavor while offering benefits that help to reduce inflammation.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is countered beautifully by our own Mango Yogurt Blend or the invigorating Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Almond Chocolate
For dessert pizza fans, a sweet juice is key. A berry smoothie intertwines well with fruit-dressed dessert pizzas, and an almond-based chocolate juice creates a heavenly combo with chocolate and hazelnut pairings. It's essential to ensure the accompanying beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert itself.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Nutella and Berry Dessert Pizza is divine when sipped alongside our Triple Berry Smoothie or Dark Chocolate Almond Juice.
