Gone are the days when soda was the default drink with pizza; those who love juice understand that a thoughtful juice selection can lift the pizza-tasting session into a loftier realm. At LowBridgePark, we have partnered with local connoisseurs to present a curated list of juice pairings that perfectly accord with our pizza offerings. Whether eating in our eatery or savoring our pizza in the comfort of your abode, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice for your preferred pizza.
For the Timeless Margherita: Juice of Tomato and Basil or a Pomegranate Mix
A traditional Margherita, adorned only by fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, is best complemented by a juice that does not mask its subtle essences. A homemade juice combining tomato and basil echoes the brightness of the tomatoes and has sufficient depth to balance the cheese. A pomegranate-based juice, light in body, subtly introduces sweet and tangy red fruit accents to augment the tomato sweetness and harmonize with the basil notes.
Specially curated pair: Our favored matchup for the Margherita is our house blend of Tomato Basil Cooler or, for those with a predilection for sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry juice locally sourced.
For the Meat-adorned Pies: Cherry with Spice or a Dark Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas laden with pepperoni, sausage, and prosciutto demand a juice with the depth and spiciness to contend with their robust tastes. A cherry juice infused with spices provides a dense, jam-like flavor with a zesty kick that perfects the salty and spicy toppings. Alternatively, a blackcurrant juice brings forth deep, dark fruit flavor with an invigorating tart bite to cut through the meat's richness.
Specially curated pair: Patrons particularly relish our proprietary Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with their Meat Feast pizza.
For Fungi and Truffle Varieties: Beetroot or a Medley of Forest Berries
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas, rich in earthiness and umami, benefit from juices that share those attributes. The velvety earthy whispers of beetroot juice sublimely match mushroom flavors, whilst its innate sweetness tempers the opulence. A juice blend of forest berries also works wonders, developing intricate notes that reflect the earthy notes of the pizza.
Specially curated pair: Our Wild Mushroom pizza pairs seamlessly with the Beetroot Juice, cold-pressed, or our select mix of Wild Forest Berries.
Seafood Varieties: A Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas topped with seafood like prawns or clams, one should opt for crisp juices laced with mineral undertones. A citrus juice medley rejuvenates, enhancing the delicate flavors of seafood, and presents a zesty finish to elevate the taste adventure. Sea buckthorn juice is another top contender, with its piercing acidity, tropical flair, and a hint of tartness that does not outshadow the seafood's subtlety.
Specially curated pair: Our A Mediterranean-style seafood pizza finds its ideal match in our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
For Supreme Veggies: Detox Green or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas blanketed with a harvest of vegetables harmonize with versatile juices that carry herbal notes. A detox juice in shades of green, infused with spinach, celery, and apple, echoes the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. On the other hand, the barely-there essence and slight body of cucumber melon juice accommodate the wide array of vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Specially curated pair: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its counterpart in the invigorating Daily Green Detox or the subtly cool Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Cheese Quadruple: Almond Smooth or a Tingly Apple
For the luxuriant four-cheese pizza, one might seek either a supplemental or contrasting juice profile. Smooth almond milk brings a richness with nutty overtones to complement the assorted cheeses. In the vein of contrast, consider a sparkling apple juice – its fizzy nature and sharp taste cut through the cheese's richness while its fruity aroma pleasantly offsets the savory layers.
Specially curated pair: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza aligns marvellously with the Vanilla Almond Milk or the effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp.
For Spicy Creations: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger and Turmeric
Pizzas that pack heat from chili flakes, spicy sausage, or zesty honey mesh well with either creamy or spirited juices. A Mango Lassi provides a cooling effect and its creamy makeup mitigates the spiciness between mouthfuls. A juice spiked with ginger and turmeric counters the spice with a compelling flavor profile while offering health benefits from its anti-inflammatory properties.
Specially curated pair: Our feisty Spicy Diavola pizza discovers its ideal complement in our Homemade Mango Lassi or the potent Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or a Chocolate Almond Mix
For those daring to sample our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweetness in the accompanying juice is crucial. A smoothie replete with mixed berries pairs well with fruit-topped sweet pizzas, while a chocolatey almond drink is a divine coupling for variants with a chocolate-hazelnut base. The sweetness in the beverage should match or exceed the dessert's sweetness.
Specially curated pair: Our Nutella with strawberry dessert pizza finds its blissful match in the Triple Berry Blast or the Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance on Pairing Juice with Pizza
- Focus on the primary taste of the pizza, not just the crust type or sauce
- High-acidity juices are typically suitable for tomato-based pizzas owing to the natural acidity of tomatoes
