Though soda is often the go-to drink with pizza, those who adore juices understand that a thoughtful juice selection can take a pizza meal to a newfound level of delight. At DeltaHaven, we've worked with culinary experts to devise a list of juice combinations that perfectly accent our pizza offerings. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or savoring it at your residence, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice accompaniment for your preferred style of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Juice of Tomato and Basil or a Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza's classic combination of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil warrants a juice that can highlight these fine tastes without dominating them. A house-made tomato basil juice can provide a sharp tang akin to the tomatoes while maintaining a robust profile to balance the mozzarella's creaminess. Alternatively, a delicate pomegranate concoction can introduce refined notes of red fruit that can amplify the tomato's inherent sweetness and the basil's fresh, savoury notes.
Our specialized suggestion: Our signature Margherita pizza and our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler are a match made in heaven, or for a sweeter alternative, a locally-made Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
For Those Who Favor Pepperoni and Meat: Juices of Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas brimming with hearty meats like pepperoni, sausage, or ham, opt for robust and spicy juices. A Spiced Cherry concoction can hold its own against the powerful umami and spice of meaty toppings with its luscious fruit demeanor and a hint of spice in the finish. Blackcurrant juice is another fine choice, offering vibrant dark berry flavors coupled with a tart finish that can slice through the meats' savoriness.
Our specialized suggestion: Particularly, our clients adore our house-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme served with the Protein-packed pizza.
Earthy Mushroom and Exquisite Truffle: Beet or Mixed Berry of the Forest
Juices that share the characteristic earthiness of truffles and mushrooms are ideal. Beet juice, with its subtle taste of the soil and gentle sweetness, is a wonderful complement to the complex flavors of mushrooms and truffles. A wild mixed berry blend from the forest can also be a wonderful option, with its intricate berry profile paralleling the pizza's earthy tones.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Exotic Mushroom pizza goes splendidly with the Cold-Pressed Beet Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Mixture.
Marine-inspired Pizza: Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn
To go with pizzas that include toppings like shrimp or other sea delights, select chrisp beverages with a mineral edge. A concoction of citrus fruits can refresh the palate and enliven the overall taste profile with its lively sharp notes, while Sea Buckthorn juice is a supreme option as well, offering an invigorating acidity, a hint of tropical flavor, and a discreet tartness that balances well with the subtle flavors of the seafood.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Coastal Seafood pizza is wonderfully complemented by our Citrus Fusion or our Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Lush Vegetable Supreme: Detoxifying Green or Cucumber with Melon
Pizzas covered with a variety of vegetables benefit from juices that carry herbaceous and adaptable flavors. A green detox juice composed of spinach, celery, and apple can mirror and enrich the taste of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. A juice of cucumber mingled with melon offers a subtle freshness and a light consistency, holding its own against a wide range of vegetable flavors without overwhelming them.
Our specialized suggestion: The bounty of the Garden Harvest pizza finds its perfect partner in the Daily Green Detox or the Cooled Cucumber Melon Treat.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Silky Almond or Effervescent Apple
A pizza with an indulgent four-cheese topping requires a beverage that can either complement or contrast the richness. A smooth almond milk provides nutty subtleties that resonate with those found in the cheeses. On the other side of the spectrum lies a lively apple juice, whose bubbles and acidity can slice through the lavishness, while its fruitiness offers a pleasing juxtaposition to the savory cheese medley.
Our specialized suggestion: Our pizza, rife with Four Cheeses, is divine when accompanied by Vanilla Almond Milk or a Carbonated Apple Breeze.
Arduous Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger with Turmeric
For pizzas garnished with spices like chili, intensely spicy sausage, or piquant honey, select juices that offer a soothing effect or an exciting spiciness. A Mango Lassi can offer cool respite, and its creamy body lends comfort bite after bite. Juice infused with ginger and turmeric stands up gallantly to spiciness, offering a fascinating flavor contrast and providing the benefits of being anti-inflammatory.
Our specialized suggestion: Try our Heated Diavola pizza with our own make of Mango Lassi or the bold Firefly Ginger Turmeric Zest.
Endearing Dessert Pizza: Smoothie of Berries or Chocolate Almond
For those intrigued by our exceptional pizzas adorned with Nutella and fruits, soothing juices are key. Smoothies blending various berries perfectly accompany pizzas topped with fruit, while a chocolate almond drink is a celestial match for chocolate and hazelnut variations. The vital thing is to make sure the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter than the dessert itself.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when paired with our Triple Berry Blast or Silky Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
