Though carbonated drinks have historically been the go-to partner for pizza, those who love fresh juices understand that the correct juice can enhance the pizza dining experience. At HalcyonField, we've worked with culinary experts to come up with juice pairings that are a flawless match for our pizzas. Whether you're savoring our dishes within our eatery or at your abode, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice match for your preferred type of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's combination of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil requires a juice that doesn't overshadow these fine tastes. A tomato basil juice concoction echoes the tangy flavor of the tomatoes and is robust enough to balance the cheese. On another note, a delicate pomegranate juice offers a sophisticated touch of red fruit flavors that can both enhance the tomatoes' natural sweetness and resonate with the aromatic basil.
Our specialized suggestion: We endorse pairing our Margherita with either our own Tomato Basil Cooler or if you're inclined for something with a bit more sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local sources.
Pepperoni or Meat Enthusiast Pizzas: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas teeming with preserved meats such as pepperoni or sausage benefit from a juice that can confront their strong taste. A jam-like spiced cherry juice, ending with a spicy kick, pairs well with the meaty saltiness and heat. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice brings a unique dark fruit profile and a satisfying tart finish to cut through the meat's richness.
Our specialized suggestion: Patrons particularly favor our handmade Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme to go with our Meat Lover's pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Earthy and savory mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas desire juices with congruent qualities. Beetroot juice, subtly earthy, fuses well with the flavors of fungi while its innate sweetness contrasts the savory depth. The forest berry juice, full of complex berry flavors, likewise complements the earthiness of the pizza.
Our specialized suggestion: Sample our Wild Mushroom pizza with our Fresh-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Specialty Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with seafood like shrimp or clams make an ideal match with cool, mineral-tasting juices. A citrus juice combination gives a zesty brightness that uplifts seafood tastes, while sea buckthorn juice, with its high acidity and base of tropical flavors, provides just the right amount of zest without masking the seafood's subtle character.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes perfectly with our Citrus Medley or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas loaded with vegetables are enlivened by versatile, herb-forward juices. For instance, a green detox juice that combines spinach, celery, and apple aligns with and heightens the flavors found in bell peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. The Cucumber Melon Juice, on the other hand, with its subtle essence and lightness, pairs well with the varying textures of vegetables without dominating the taste.
Our specialized suggestion: Enjoy our Garden Harvest pizza aligned with the rejuvenating Daily Green Detox or the cooling Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The opulence of a pizza blanketed in four cheeses can be complemented or contrasted. Creamy almond milk provides nutty undertones that resonate with the cheeses. For an opposing but harmonious taste, a sparkling apple juice, with its acidity and bubbliness cutting through the cheesy richness, offers a delightful contrast to the savory flavors.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is a delight when accompanied by either Vanilla Almond Milk or the effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Heat-Infused Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas laced with chili, hot sausage, or fiery honey call for soothing beverages. Mango lassi provides a cooling effect with a creamy consistency that moderates the heat. Meanwhile, a juice with ginger and turmeric stands up to the spicy elements while delivering compelling flavors and health benefits.
Our specialized suggestion: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly matched with our in-house prepared Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Those who dare to try our decadent Nutella and fruit pizzas would enjoy a sweet juice as an accompaniment. A mixed berry smoothie complements fruit-topped dessert pizzas well. For those topped with a chocolate-hazelnut spread, chocolate almond milk is a divine choice. It's crucial to ensure the juice is as sweet as or sweeter than the dessert itself.
Our specialized suggestion: Our combination of Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza with the Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk is otherworldly.
