Traditionally, soda has been pizza’s go-to drink, yet juice enthusiasts know that a well-chosen juice pairing can elevate the entire dining experience. At MidRealmCommons, we’ve collaborated with local experts to craft juice pairings that harmonize with our menu. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeaway, these suggestions will help you pick the perfect juice for your favorite pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The Margherita’s simplicity—fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—benefits from a juice that won’t overpower its delicate notes. A homemade tomato basil juice brings bright acidity that complements the tomatoes while offering enough body to balance the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate blend introduces red fruit framing that enhances the tomatoes’ sweetness and complements the basil’s aroma.
Our specific recommendation: We enjoy pairing our Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizza topped with cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto benefits from juices with depth and spice to match. Spiced cherry juice, with its jammy fruit character and peppery finish, pairs nicely with the saltiness and heat of the meats. As an alternative, try blackcurrant juice, which offers rustic dark fruit flavors and a tangy finish that cuts through the richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our guests particularly enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, umami notes of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices carrying similar earthiness. Beetroot juice provides gentle earthy scents that complement the fungi, with natural sweetness balancing the richness. A forest berry blend also works beautifully, developing complex berry flavors that mirror the pizza’s earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Try our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas featuring prawns, clams, or other seafood benefit from crisp juices with mineral notes. A citrus blend adds refreshing brightness that enhances seafood flavors, while sea buckthorn juice offers high acidity, a tropical character, and a subtle tartness that won’t overwhelm delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs beautifully with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-topped pizzas gain from juices with herbal hints. A green detox made with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and enhances the flavors of peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Cucumber melon provides a refreshing light body that holds up to various textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds perfect harmony with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pie invites either a complementary or contrasting pairing. Creamy almond milk offers nutty notes that mirror the cheese blend, while a sparkling apple juice provides effervescence and acidity to cut through the richness and adds a fruity contrast.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey, creamy or spicy juices offer welcome relief. Mango lassi cools the palate with its creamy texture, while ginger turmeric juice stands up to heat with intriguing flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza finds its match in Handmade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Adventurous Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas call for sweet juices. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk pairs beautifully with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is ensuring the drink is as sweet as the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs wonderfully with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pizza and Juice Pairing
- Consider the dominant flavor on the pizza, not just the crust or sauce
- High-acidity juices generally pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the tomatoes’ natural acidity
- Sparkling juices are versatile options that suit nearly any pizza
- Don’t fear trying unusual combinations—they can create the most memorable experiences
