Even though sodas are historically the go-to drink for pizza, those who adore juices know the perfect combination can enhance the pizza dining experience. At MistyLochView, our collaboration with culinary experts has yielded a selection of juice pairings that are a perfect match for our pizzas. Enjoy these pairings in our cozy eatery or in the comfort of your home, allowing you to discover the ideal juice for your preferred pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A classic Margherita, with its simple yet fresh ingredients like tomato, mozzarella, and basil, demands a juice that doesn't overshadow its subtle tastes. A self-made tomato basil juice mirrors the tomato's bright acidity and pairs well with the cheese. On the other hand, a light pomegranate blend offers a refined sweetness that interacts positively with the tomato and basil.
Our special recommendation: We find that our Margherita goes wonderfully with our home-crafted Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something with a sweeter note, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice from local sources.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
The hefty flavors of pizzas topped with cured meats such as pepperoni or salami call for a juice that's sturdy and spicy. A rich, spiced cherry juice, bringing both fruitiness and a kick of pepper, is an excellent counter to the savory and spicy meat. A great alternate is blackcurrant juice, providing a savory dark fruit taste and the right amount of tartness to cleanse the palate from the rich meats.
Our special recommendation: Patrons particularly take pleasure in our handcrafted Spiced Cherry Delight or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our loaded Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Mixed Berry Juice
For pizzas adorned with the savory, umami-rich mushrooms and truffles, a juice with earthy profiles is required. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy taste, harmonizes well with mushrooms, and its inherent sweetness solidifies the pairing. A mixed berry juice also works well, with its complex flavor profile echoing the earthy undertones of the dish.
Our special recommendation: Our signature Wild Mushroom pizza can be beautifully complemented with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Mixed Berry selection.
Delicate Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Crustacean or seafood-topped pizzas are perfectly suited to crisp, mineral-like juices. A citrus blend brings out the best in seafood with its refreshing nature, while sea buckthorn offers a tart, tropical edge that enhances the delicate seafood without overpowering it.
Our special recommendation: A Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar are sublime options to accompany our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetarian's Delight Pizza: Green Detox Juice or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-loaded pizzas have a variety of flavors that benefit from the herbal accents of certain juices. A green detox juice, with ingredients like spinach and celery, complements the veggie toppings. Cucumber melon juice is another fantastic choice, its subtle taste and cooler effect providing a refreshing balance.
Our special recommendation: The array of flavors in our Garden Harvest pizza pairs flawlessly with a nourishing Daily Green Detox or a chilled Cucumber Melon drink.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Smooth Almond or Fizzy Apple Juice
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza is best met with either a corresponding or contrasting juice. Smooth almond milk offers a nutty undertone which echoes the cheese, while a fizzy apple juice brings contrasting acidity and a crispness that can cut through the heavy cheese.
Our special recommendation: Pair our Quattro Formaggi pizza with our specially crafted Vanilla Almond Milk or an effervescent Apple Fizz.
Fiery Pizzas: Refreshing Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
For pizzas with a little extra heat, creamy or tangy juices provide a welcome respite. A cool mango lassi gives a creamy comfort in between spicy bites, while a ginger turmeric juice competes well with spice, adding an interesting flavor dimension and health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: The fiery punch of our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly balanced by our Home-Made Mango Lassi or a Ginger Turmeric Booster.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Almond Chocolate Drink
For dessert pizzas with either fruit or Nutella, a sweet juice is a must. Berry smoothies pair well with fruity dessert pizzas, while almond chocolate milk creates an indulgent combination with chocolate-hazelnut spreads, ensuring the drink is as sweet as the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divinely complemented by the Triple Berry Burst or a velvety Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
