Although cola has been the go-to drink for pizza for ages, those who love juice understand that an appropriate juice combination can magnify the enjoyment of pizza. At FenlandSpark, we've worked with local connoisseurs to curate juice suggestions that go hand in hand with our pizzas. Whether eating at our establishment or at home, these tips will assist you in selecting the ideal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Drink or Pomegranate Fusion
The fresh flavors of a classic Margherita pizza, lined with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, deserve a drink that doesn't overshadow these subtle tastes. A tomato basil drink provides vibrant tanginess to match the tomato while holding its own against the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate fusion brings out red fruit flavors that complement the sweetness of the tomatoes and the basil's flavor.
Our top pick: Our Margherita goes well with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry mix sourced from nearby.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas heavy with cured meats like pepperoni or ham, pick juices with a robustness and zest to echo their intense flavors. Spicy cherry juice, with its rich flavor and spicy kick, complements the meat's saltiness. Alternatively, the dark, tangy taste of blackcurrant juice offers a tart finish that can slice through the meat's sumptuousness.
Our top pick: Patrons particularly enjoy our craft Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Lovers' Pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Juice
Mushrooms and truffles' deep umami taste resonate well with drinks carrying similar flavor profiles. Beetroot juice, with its mild earthiness, is a perfect match for fungus-based dishes, and its sweetness balances the savory depth. A juice blend of forest berries is also ideal, with complex notes that reflect the pizza's earthy character.
Our top pick: Our Wild Mushroom pizza's flavor is excellently complemented by Cold-Pressed Beetroot Drink or Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Burst or Sea Buckthorn Beverage
Pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or mussels pair beautifully with crisp drinks carrying mineral essences. A citrus blend refreshes and accentuates the seafood's taste, while its zest lightens the palate. Sea buckthorn juice is also a fine pick, due to its high acidity, exotic flavor, and mild tartness which balances well with refined seafood.
Our top pick: Our Coastal Seafood Pizza goes splendidly with either our Citrus Burst or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetarian Supreme: Green Cleanser or Cucumber Melon Juice
Vegetable-loaded pizzas with their variety of flavors suit fluid, herb-infused drinks. A 'Green Cleanser' juice, infused with spinach, celery, and apple, reinforces and amplifies the palate of bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Light and refreshing Cucumber Melon juice complements the mix of vegetable textures without overtaking them.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Feast pizza pairs seamlessly with a Daily Green Cleanser or a Cooled Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Four Cheese Pizza: Smooth Almond or Effervescent Apple Drink
A Four Cheese Pizza's creaminess calls for a beverage that parallels or contrasts the taste: an almond milk presents nut-like nuances that uplift the cheese's flavors, whereas a bubbly apple drink with its fizz and tang can slice through the richness, offering a fruity balance to the savory cheeses.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is wonderfully complemented by our Vanilla Infused Almond Milk or Effervescent Apple Tango.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
For pizzas adorned with hot spices, creamy or spicy drinks bring a calming effect. Mango lassi cools the tongue and its creamy texture provides solace between spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice holds its own against the heat while delivering a tantalizing flavor contrast and health benefits.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Diavola pizza meets its match with our Home-crafted Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Zest.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Shake or Chocolate Almond Beverage
Those daring to indulge in pizzas with a sweet twist, like Nutella and fruit, require equally sweet accompaniments. Mixed berry shakes go well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, and dark chocolate almond milk is a decadent companion to chocolate-hazelnut varieties, ensuring the drink is as sweet as the treat.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely matched with our Triple Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Indulgence.
