While cola has traditionally been the go-to drink for pizza, connoisseurs of juice are aware that a thoughtfully chosen juice can enhance the pizza eating experience. At TheUnseenConnections, our collaboration with local connoisseurs has resulted in juice selections that perfectly complement our pizzas. Whether consuming our pizzas within the comforts of our establishment or in your own home, our suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice for the pizza of your choice.
Time-Honored Margherita: Juice of Tomato & Basil or a Pomegranate Fusion
Given the subtle essence of Margherita pizza, characterized by its fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes, a beverage is required that does not overshadow these nuanced flavors. A homemade juice blending tomato and basil presents a tart vibrancy that aligns with the tomato, offering a backbone robust enough to match the cheese. As an alternative, a pomegranate-based blend delivers a refined berry taste that elevates the tomatoes' sweetness and bridges well with the basil's green notes.
Our top pick: We favor the coupling of our Margherita pizza with our distinctive Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter alternative, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local producers.
Hearty Pepperoni & Meat Lovers: Cherry with Spice or Blackcurrant
For pizzas heaped with savory meats like sausages, pepperoni, or prosciutto, one should opt for juices rich and zesty enough to pair with their robust profiles. Cherry juice infused with spices, offering a sweet yet spicy kick, perfectly balances the saltiness and heat of the meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice provides deep, rustic berry flavors and a refreshingly tart finish that slices through the meat's savoriness.
Our top pick: Diners particularly delight in our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Lovers pizza.
Fungi & Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Berry from the Forest
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas, rich in umami and earthy tastes, desire juices that reflect these elements. Beetroot juice, with its understated earthy scent, complements mushrooms perfectly while its natural sweetness offsets their robustness. A mingling of forest berries also proves excellent, as it weaves complex berry undertones that echo the earthly flavor profile of such pizzas.
Our top pick: Explore the fusion of our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Sensation: Citrus Fusion or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas adorned with seafood like clams, prawns, or similar offerings pair best with crisp, mineral-esque juices. A citrus medley, offering a zestful contrast, accentuates the seafood flavors, along with providing brightness that lightens the dish. Sea buckthorn juice is yet another supreme choice, with its pronounced acidity, exotic profile, and mild tartness that doesn't overwhelm the seafood's subtleness.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is a beautiful match for our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Cleansing Greens or Cucumber Melon
A pizza loaded with vegetables presents a tapestry of tastes that thrive alongside adaptable, herbal-infused juices. A green detox juice combining spinach, celery, and apples echoes the flavors of green bell peppers, artichokes, and other garden toppings. A cucumber melon juice lends an understated coolness and light character that stands strong against the variety of vegetable flavors without being oppressive.
Our top pick: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in perfect symphony with the Daily Green Detox or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Sip.
Gourmet Quattro Formaggi: Silky Almond or Sparkling Apple
The indulgence of a four-cheese pizza invites a complementary or contrasting juice choice. Silky almond milk brings forth nutty notes that resonate with the cheese's flavors. In contrast, a sparkling apple juice introduces effervescent tartness cutting through the cheesy richness, its fruity zest providing a delightful foil to the savory cheeses.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs exceptionally well with Vanilla Almond Milk or an effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Specials: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas spiced with hot honey, chili, or fiery sausages, juices that are creamy or slightly spicy provide a soothing counterbalance. The creamy consistency and coolness of mango lassi offer solace between spicy bites. Meanwhile, ginger turmeric juice holds its ground against the spiciness, adding an intriguing taste contrast and anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top pick: Our Spicy Diavola pizza finds its ideal companion in Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Blend or Chocolate Almond
For the bold adventurers sampling our fruit or Nutella dessert pizzas, a sweet juice is essential. A smoothie with a mix of berries complements the fruit-topped dessert pizza, whereas chocolate almond milk provides a heavenly pairing with chocolate-hazelnut variations, with the sweetness matching that of the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is perfectly complemented by a Triple Berry Blast or a luscious Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Conjoining Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the pizza's primary flavor, beyond just the crust or sauce type
- Acidic juices are often a good match for tomato-centric pizzas since tomatoes share a similar acidity

- Be bold in your experiments—sometimes the most unexpected pairings yield the most enjoyable experiences
