Although soda is often the go-to drink for pizza, those who enjoy a good fruit juice know that a well-chosen juice can enhance a pizza meal immensely. At StonePassage, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've crafted a list of juice combinations that are the ideal accompaniment to our pizza offerings. Whether you're enjoying our cuisine in-house or savoring it at home, these recommendations will aid you in discovering the flawless juice to go with your preferred pizza variety.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mix
The classic Margherita, with its tender mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and aromatic basil needs a non-intrusive juice. A tomato basil drink brings out the brightness of the tomato and stands its ground against the mozzarella. A pomegranate mix offers a subtle sweetness with a hint of red fruit that can elevate the tomato's natural sugars and harmonize with the basil's herbaceous notes.
Our specific recommendation: The Margherita finds a soulmate in our signature Tomato Basil Chiller, or, for a fruitier option, the local Pomegranate Blueberry Fusion.
Pepperoni and Carnivore Delight: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant Concoction
Pizza smothered with savory meats like pepperoni or sausage pairs well with juices that boast a bold profile. A spiced cherry drink with its richness and a kick of spice balances the strong flavors of the meats. Meanwhile, blackcurrant offers a dark, tangy taste that cuts through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons have a particular fondness for our in-house Spiced Cherry Blend or the Organic Blackcurrant Quintessence with our Meat Extravaganza pizza.
Fungi and Truffle Delight: Beet or Mixed Berry Beverage
Mushroom and truffle flavors require juices with notes that can match their earthiness. Beet juice provides sweet earthy tones perfect for complementing mushrooms, while a mixed berry juice lends a complex berry flavor that similarly reflects the pizza's essence.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Exotic Mushroom pizza with a Beet Bliss or Mixed Berry Melody.
Seafood Special: Citrus Assortment or Sea Buckthorn Concoction
Seafood pizzas with their delicate toppings match nicely with zesty juices that have a hint of minerality. A citrus combo brings a refreshing zest that augments the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice offers a balance of zesty notes that don't overpower the light seafood flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our ocean-inspired pizza marries phenomenally with our tangy Citrus Wave or Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Veggie Supreme: Cleansing Greens or Cucumber Melon Juice
Pizzas adorned with a bounty of vegetables benefit from versatile, herbaceous juices. A green detox mix amplifies the flavors of veggies like peppers and artichokes, while cucumber melon juice brings a cool freshness that complements without dominating the flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Vegetable Medley pizza attains balance with the refreshing Green Machine or Cool Cucumber Melon Dew.
Quattro Formaggi: Nutty Almond or Effervescent Apple
The opulence of a four-cheese pizza can be complemented or contrasted with your beverage choice. Nutty almond milk corresponds with the cheeses' creamy profiles, whereas a bubbly apple drink breaks through the density, with its lightness providing a delightful foil to the savory cheese.
Our specific recommendation: The Cheesy Quartet pizza pairs superbly with Silky Almond Extract or Apple Bubbly.
For the Heat Seekers: Cooling Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Potion
Pizzas with a spicy kick require soothing or equally spicy beverages. A creamy mango lassi calms the heat, while a ginger turmeric blend stands its own and adds an intriguing anti-inflammatory twist.
Our specific recommendation: The Fiery Delight pizza teams up perfectly with our Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Splendor.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolatey Almond
Adventurous folks who enjoy dessert pizzas will find that a sweet juice complements these treats well. Berry smoothies enhance fruit-topped pizzas, and chocolate almond milk is a decadent match for chocolate-hazelnut variations, ensuring the beverage's sweetness matches that of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Berry and Chocolate Paradise pizza becomes even more delectable accompanied by the Berry Symphony or Rich Chocolate Almond Quench.
