Traditional soda may be a common choice for pizza, but juice aficionados recognize that the correct juice can take a pizza meal to greater enjoyment. At TheCommonThread, collaboration with local connoisseurs has bred a selection of juice pairings that align beautifully with our pizza offerings. Our crafted pairings are intended for enjoyment whether you're savoring our pizza at the restaurant or in the comfort of your home.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
The uncomplicated flavors of Margherita pizza, with its fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil, demand a juice that highlights these tastes without overwhelming them. Tomato basil juice, made in-house, offers a lively acidity reflective of the tomato, while also supporting the mozzarella. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate juice introduces subtle sweetness suited to tomato and basil.
Our top pick: The Margherita pizza goes hand-in-hand with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or a refreshing Pomegranate Blueberry fusion from local providers.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas that feature robust toppings like pepperoni or sausage, robust and spiced juices are optimal. A spicy cherry juice offers a combination of sweet and peppery tones that stand against the meaty flavors. Blackcurrant juice also makes for an admirable alternative with its deep, tart taste cutting through the decadence.
Our top pick: For our loaded Meat Feast pizza, customers favor our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Forest Berry Juice
Mushroom and truffle pizzas, with their earthy undertones, pair ideally with juices of a similar nature. Beetroot juice brings a light earthy essence and a natural sweet balance, whereas a forest berry concoction layers complex berry tones that echo the rustic feel of the pizza.
Our top pick: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a perfect match with the Cold-Pressed Beet Juice or Wild Forest Berry Mix.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Juice
A seafood-topped pizza calls for lively juices that can harmonize with the minerality of seafood. A tangy citrus juice can refresh and lighten the taste of the seafood, while sea buckthorn, offering high acidity and a tropical essence, provides a subtle yet fitting complement without overpowering the pizza's delicacy.
Our top pick: Pair our Mediterranean Seafood pizza with an invigorating Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar for a delightful taste experience.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Juice or Cucumber Melon Juice
For pizzas topped with an assortment of vegetables, you'll want a juice that delivers versatility and herbal notes. Green detox juice containing spinach, celery, and apple mirrors and amplifies your pizza toppings' flavors. The gentle freshness of cucumber melon juice offers a light accompaniment that meshes well with diverse vegetable flavors.
Our top pick: Our Garden Harvest pizza resonates with the Daily Green Detox or a cooling Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple Juice
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza pairs with a juice that either complements or contrasts the profiles. Creamy almond milk brings out nutty flavors that mingle with the cheese blend, while a sparkling apple juice with its crispness cuts the creaminess delightfully, offering a fruity contrast.
Our top pick: For a harmonious pairing, try our Quattro Formaggi with a Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Juice
Pizzas with a spice kick, featuring ingredients such as chili flakes or spicy sausage, are well-suited to creamy or spicy juices that can provide a calming effect. A Mango Lassi offers a creamy respite, while a Ginger Turmeric juice stands out with its bold flavor and health benefits.
Our top pick: Our Spicy Diavola pairs perfectly with a Homemade Mango Lassi or the inflammation-fighting Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Juice
For our unique Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweeter juices work best. Berry smoothies enhance the fruit toppings on dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond juice complements chocolate-hazelnut spreads, with sweetness being the key connecting feature.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza blissfully aligns with a Triple Berry Blast or a Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance for Pairing Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the pizza's prevailing flavors rather than just the type of crust or sauce.
- Tomato-based pizzas generally pair well with high-acid juices due to the intrinsic acidity of tomatoes.
- Sparkling juices are flexible and can complement a wide array of pizzas.
- Be open to experimentation, as occasionally the most surprising pairings can be the most memorable.
