Traditionally, soda has been seen as pizza’s go-to beverage, but juice fans know the right pairing can lift a slice to another level. At CommonsMarketplace, we teamed up with local experts to craft juice pairings that perfectly complement our menu. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeaway, these suggestions will help you pick the ideal juice for your favorite pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The Margherita’s simple combo of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil calls for a juice that won’t overpower the delicate flavors. A tomato-basil juice adds bright acidity that matches the tomatoes while keeping enough body to support the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate blend brings red fruit notes that heighten the sweetness of the tomatoes and harmonize with the basil’s aroma.
Our specific recommendation: We love pairing Margherita with our Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas loaded with cured meats need juices with enough body and spice to stand up to bold toppings. Spiced cherry juice, with its jammy fruit and peppery finish, pairs beautifully with the salt and heat of the meats. As an alternative, try blackcurrant juice for rustic dark fruit flavors and a tart finish that cuts through the richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our guests particularly enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, umami notes of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices that share those flavors. Beetroot juice offers gentle earthy aromas that complement the fungi, with a natural sweetness to balance richness. A forest berry blend also works nicely, developing complex berry tones that mirror the pizza’s earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Try Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas featuring shrimp, clams, or other seafood, crisp juices with mineral notes are great companions. A citrus blend provides refreshing brightness that enhances seafood flavors, while Sea buckthorn juice offers high acidity, tropical character, and a subtle tartness that won’t overwhelm delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs nicely with Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-topped pizzas benefit from versatile, herb-forward juices. A Green Detox juice with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and enhances the flavors of peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Cucumber Melon juice provides gentle freshness and light body that holds up to various textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Garden Harvest pizza harmonizes with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pie calls for either a complementary or contrasting pairing. Creamy almond milk offers nutty notes that align with the cheese blend, while a sparkling apple juice provides effervescence and acidity to cut through the fats, with a fruity contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
When pizzas feature chili, spicy sausage, or hot honey, creamy or zesty juices are welcome. Mango lassi cools the palate with its creamy texture, while ginger turmeric juice stands up to the heat and adds an intriguing flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Spicy Diavola pizza finds its match in Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For adventurous Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet drinks are essential. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk pairs beautifully with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is choosing a drink as sweet as the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs wonderfully with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
