While carbonated soft drinks are often thought to be pizza's conventional partner, those who appreciate juices understand that an ideal juice match can lift the pizza indulgence to unparalleled levels. At NorthPlain, together with local connoisseurs, we have formulated juice matchmaking suggestions that harmonize with our fare impeccably. No matter if it's a meal inside our establishment or a takeaway at your place, our guidance will aid you in discovering the impeccable juice complement for your cherished pizza variation.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blends
A Margherita pizza with its signature fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil desires a juice that respects its subtle taste profile. Tomato basil juice with its bright tangy essence mirrors the tomato component and possesses sufficient structure to counterbalance the cheese. In another scenario, a delicate pomegranate concoction introduces elegant shades of red fruits that accentuate the tomatoes' sweetness and mingle nicely with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest coupling our Margherita with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a locally-obtained Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meat-dense pizzas adorned with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto crave juices with substantial body and a hint of spice to parallel their rich flavors. A spiced cherry juice renders a delicious fruitiness coupled with a peppery zing that stands up nicely against the savors of the cured meats. Or, choose a blackcurrant juice for its deep fruit essence and a tangy finish that serves to slice through the meat's creaminess.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly enjoy our home-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our robust Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The deep, savory quality of mushrooms and truffles invoke juices with foundational earthy notes. Beetroot juice graces the palate with soft earth tones that mesh exquisitely with the fungi, its sweetness offsetting the richness. Alternatively, a forest berry assortment demonstrates intricate berry notes that reflect the grounded essence of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza with a Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley is a sublime choice.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas topped with seafood like prawns or clams, crisp juices with a trace of mineral complexity are the ideal match. A citrus fusion refreshes the mouth, highlighting the seafood, with lively flavors that lift the ensemble. Another commendable option, sea buckthorn juice, has plentiful acidity and a tropical flavor with merely a touch of tartness that does justice to the mild seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes harmoniously with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
With pizzas blanketed in vegetables, you'll want multifaceted, herby juices. Green detox juice, composed of spinach, celery, and apple, not only mirrors but also elevates the taste of peppers, artichoke, and other veggies. A cucumber melon juice presents a subtle coolness and delicate texture that can handle various veggie consistencies without overshadowing them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza attains perfect synergy with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A pizza with a blend of four kinds of cheese can work with a congruent or contrasting juice. Creamy almond milk resonates with nutty undertones that echo those found in the cheeses. On another spectrum, a sparkling apple juice, through its bubbly nature and tanginess, skillfully slices through the cheesy opulence, all while imparting a fruity profile that aligns beautifully with the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is exquisitely complemented by Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
In the instance of pizzas that come armed with chili, spicy sausage, or piquant toppings, smooth or zesty juices provide a comforting counter. The mango lassi cools the mouth with its creamy texture acting as a salve post-bite, while ginger turmeric juice stands tall against the heat, offering an engaging taste divergence with healthful benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly matched with a Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
Those who dare to sample our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas will understand the need for sweet beverages. A mixed berry smoothie plays off the toppings on fruit-accented dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond beverage pairs divinely with chocolate-hazelnut variations, ensuring the drink matches the sweetness level of the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when enjoyed with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
