Though soda is traditionally the go-to companion for pizza, aficionados of juice recognize that a thoughtfully chosen juice can take the pizza experience to another level. Here at StillPlain, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we've curated a selection of juice blends that perfectly accentuate our pizza offerings. Whether savoring a meal in our establishment or enjoying your pizza at home, our tips can assist you in discovering the quintessential juice to pair with your preferred pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Drink or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, known for its ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, requires a beverage that respects its subtle taste. A homemade tomato basil drink brings a zesty acidity that aligns with the pizza's tomatoes, while supporting the mozzarella's presence. On the other hand, a pomegranate blend with its light texture introduces a refined sweetness and complements the basil's green notes.
Our specific suggestion: We recommend pairing our Margherita with our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something with a hint of sweetness, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas laden with meaty toppings like pepperoni and sausage demand a juice that has the robustness and spiciness to match. A Spicy Cherry Juice, with its rich fruity essence and a zesty kick, is a great pick to balance the savory and spicy meat. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice with its deep flavor profile and tart edge pairs well by slicing through the fattiness of the meats.
Our specific suggestion: Patrons often show preference for our crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Mixed Forest Berry
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas are best served with juices that carry earthy elements. Beetroot juice, with its subtle sweet dirt notes, complements the umami from the fungi. Alternatively, a forest berry mixture works wonders with its intricate berry flavors matching the grounded taste of the pizza.
Our specific suggestion: Experience our Wild Mushroom pizza with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a mix of Wild Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Beverage
Seafood pizzas, topped with delicacies like prawns and clams, pair perfectly with zesty juices that have mineral nuances. A citrus mixture refreshes the palate and enhances the oceanic taste whilst presenting vibrant zests that make the dish pop. Sea buckthorn beverage is another star option, characterizing for its tartness and tropical vibe, without overwhelming the delicate seafood.
Our specific suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a delight when served with our sprightly Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn beverage.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Juice
Pizzas covered with an array of vegetables revel in multidimensional juice pairings. A green detox juice with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apples amplifies the garden flavors. A juice blend of cucumber and melon provides a refreshing subtlety and lightness, complementing a variety of vegetable tastes and textures without dominating.
Our specific suggestion: Match our Garden Harvest pizza with a Daily Green Detox or a soothing Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond Blend or Fizzing Apple
The creamy consistency of a pizza quattro formaggi invites either a similar accompaniment or a contrasting beverage. An almond-based blend, with its inherent nuttiness, parallels the notes found in the cheese concoction. Conversely, a bubbly apple juice's tang and fizz can slice through the cheese's creaminess, providing a fruity balance to the savory flavors.
Our specific suggestion: Our Four Cheese delight pairs exceptionally well with Velvety Almond Blend or a bubbly Apple Effervescence.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Smoothie or Ginger Turmeric Juice
For pizzas that tingle with chili, fiery sausages, or a zesty honey, choose creamy or equally spicy juices. A mango smoothie calms the heat and gives creamy relief. Ginger turmeric juice, on the other hand, stands up to the spice while offering its own contrasting zest and the bonus of healthful properties.
Our specific suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is impeccably paired with our Homemade Mango Smoothie or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric concoction.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Drink
Those venturing into Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas will appreciate sweeter beverages. A berry smoothie echoes the fruit toppings, while a chocolaty almond drink is a divine complement to chocolate and hazelnut spreads, ensuring the beverage's sweetness meets or exceeds the dessert's.
Our specific suggestion: Our delectable Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza finds its bliss with a luscious Triple Berry Smoothie or a Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
