Despite soda traditionally being pizza's popular partner, connoisseurs of juice are aware that a suitable juice combination can elevate the whole pizza dining experience. At GlobalNetwork, we've worked with culinary specialists to suggest juice combinations that ideally complement our selections. These pairing recommendations will guide you in choosing the ideal juice, whether you're enjoying your meal within the confines of our establishment or in the comfort of your home.
Essential Margherita: Vibrant Tomato Juice or Tart Pomegranate Fusion
The uncomplicated flavors of Margherita pizza—ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil—merit a juice that doesn’t overshadow them. A self-made tomato and basil juice shines with its vibrant tanginess, pairing nicely with the tomato and holding its own against the cheese. A pomegranate juice that is light in body enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and is the perfect companion for basil’s fragrant notes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita pizza goes perfectly with our Signature Tomato Basil Quencher or, for a touch of sweetness, our locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Loaded Pepperoni: Fruity Spiced Cherry or Bold Blackcurrant
For pizzas brimming with hearty meats like pepperoni or sausage, look for juices that have the depth and a hint of spice to contend with strong flavors. A cherry juice spiced with hints of pepper punctuates the smokiness and adds a fruited counterbalance to the spicy and salty toppings. Alternatively, the tangy finish of a blackcurrant juice can offer dark fruity flavors that cleanse the palate from the fatty meats.
Our specific recommendation: A favorite among our patrons is the house-crafted Spiced Cherry Potion or the Organic Blackcurrant Delight when paired with our carnivorous Meat Lover's pizza.
Truffle and Mushroom Pairing: Subtle Beet or Luscious Berry Forest Blend
When enjoying pizzas topped with mushrooms and truffles, whose earthy and savory flavors are quite pronounced, select juices with a similar profile. The delicacy of beetroot juice with its mellow earthiness complements the mushrooms, and its sweetness is a good counterbalance to their depth in flavor. A mixed berry juice echoes these earthy tones whilst presenting a complex berry flavor profile.
Our specific recommendation: Experience our Wild Mushroom pizza with a glass of Freshly-Pressed Beetroot Extract or our Berry Forest Fusion.
Luxury Seafood Selection: Zesty Citrus Mix or Exotic Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with exquisite seafood such as prawns or clams need vibrant juices. A citrus juice revitalizes the seafood's taste and its zesty essence elevates the dish. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its bright acidity and tropical notes, also serves as an exceptional companion due to its subtle tartness that doesn't mask the seafood's delicate flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our pizza featuring Mediterranean seafood is beautifully matched with either our Fresh Citrus concoction or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
The Ultimate Vegetable Supreme: Refreshing Green Concoction or Cool Cucumber Melon
Vegetable pizzas, with their plethora of flavors, work well with juices that carry herbal or vegetal notes. A detox juice, rich with greens like spinach, celery, and apple, parallels and elevates the taste of vegetables like bell pepper and artichokes. A cool cucumber melon drink, with its delicate taste profile, complements the wide array of vegetable textures without overwhelming them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Supreme pizza harmonizes perfectly with our Daily Green Detox sip or the Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Hearty Four Cheeses: Creamy Almond Creation or Fizzy Apple Elixir
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza necessitates a juice that either complements or contrasts the flavors. Silky almond milk pairs well with the cheese, matching nutty undertones, or a bubbly apple juice can provide a refreshing contrast with its fizz and acidity that cuts through the rich cheese flavors while its fruity sweetness serves as an enjoyable counterbalance to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Four Cheese pizza with an aromatic Vanilla Almond Drink or Sparkling Apple Refresher.
For Pizzas with Heat: Soothing Mango Lassi or Zingy Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas that bring the heat with ingredients like chili flakes, require a cooling juice to soothe the spice. A smooth mango lassi can calm the heat while offering a creamy buffer between bites. A sturdy ginger turmeric juice can hold its own against the spiciness, offering an exciting flavor contrast and the bonus of anti-inflammatory properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza finds a perfect partner in our House-Made Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Dessert Pizza Plus: Mixed Berry Smoothie or Rich Chocolate Almond Fusion
For those indulging in dessert pizzas such as Nutella and fruit toppings, sweet juices are key. A blended smoothie with mixed berries pairs well with pizzas topped with fruit, while a chocolate almond milk pairs exceptionally well with the decadence of chocolate-hazelnut spreads, ensuring that the beverage is as sweet as the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: Enjoy our Strawberry and Nutella Dessert Pizza with a Thicker Mixed Berry Blend or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Milk.
