While carbonated drinks are typically the go-to for a pizza meal, those with a penchant for juices understand that an apt juice selection can lift the pizza dining experience to another level. At MossFieldAnchor, working with local connoisseurs, we've put together juice pairings that harmonize beautifully with our offerings. Whether you're relishing a meal at our establishment or opting for a home delivery, these pairing suggestions are sure to guide you to the ideal juice for your chosen style of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A classic Margherita, with its meld of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, deserves a juice that doesn't overshadow these delicate tastes. A tomato basil juice is sharp enough to echo the tomato's tartness, yet robust enough to balance the cheese's richness. On the other hand, a light pomegranate concoction introduces charming red fruit nuances, amplifying the tomato's sweetness while blending with the basil's earthy tone.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita and the house specialty Tomato Basil Cooler make a splendid pair, or for a touch of sweetness, try the Pomegranate Blueberry mix sourced locally.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meat-forward pizzas like those adorned with pepperoni or sausage call for robust, spicy juices. A Spiced Cherry juice, with its fruity depth and spicy kick, complements the meats' saltiness and heat. Also, a Blackcurrant juice, with rustic deep fruit flavors and a sharp edge, helps slice through the toppings' savory depth.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons often favor our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Lover’s pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas, rich in earthy umami, necessitate juices that share a similar profile. Beetroot juice's earthy sweetness is a natural ally to mushroom flavors, providing balance. Similarly, a forest berry juice weaves together complex berry notes that echo the earthy tones of the pizza toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza coupled with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley is a taste to behold.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas, with ingredients like shrimp or clams, are best served with crisp juices that carry a hint of minerality. A citrus mix refreshes and highlights the seafood's flavor, and its zestiness brightens the overall taste. Sea buckthorn juice, acidic with a tropical flair and mild tang, won't overshadow the seafood's nuanced flavors.
Our specific recommendation: The zest of our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar pairs exquisitely with our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with a variety of veggies thrive with versatile, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice fuses spinach, celery, and apple to reflect and enhance the taste of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, Cucumber Melon juice delivers a subtle coolness and lightness, complementing the veggies without domination.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is well matched with our Daily Green Detox or the refreshingly Chilled Cucumber Melon.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
Quintessentially rich four-cheese pizzas demand a beverage that can either complement or contrast the flavors. Creamy almond milk with its nutty undertones enhances the cheese flavors, whereas a fizzy apple juice offers a bright cut and a fruity counterbalance to the creamy toppings.
Our specific recommendation: The nuttiness of our Quattro Formaggi pizza is elevated with Vanilla Almond Milk, or for a bubbly twist, Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For piquant pizzas layered with chili or spicy toppings, soothing creamy and fiery juices are welcoming. Mango lassi has a cooling effect and its creaminess provides intermittent relief. Ginger turmeric juice keeps pace with the spiciness, simultaneously offering a captivating taste contrast and health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: The kick of our Spicy Diavola pizza perfectly complements the coolness of Homemade Mango Lassi or the piquancy of Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those who venture into Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet beverages are quintessential. Berry smoothies pair well with fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk creates a heavenly combination with chocolate-hazelnut variants. The key is to ensure that the drink matches the dessert's sweetness level.
Our specific recommendation: A slice of our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely coupled with a Triple Berry Blast or rich Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
