Even though soft drinks are typically linked with pizzas, those passionate about juice understand a good juice blend can significantly enhance the pizza-eating experience. At SoftValleyLane, we've teamed up with culinary specialists to offer juice combinations that go brilliantly with our pizzas. Our curated juice suggestions are perfect whether you're having your meal in or grabbing a pizza to-go, ensuring you always have the ideal juice choice for your preferred pizza type.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza's fresh flavor profile, characterized by ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that won't overshadow these subtle tastes. Tomato basil juice, freshly made, delivers a vivacious zest akin to the tomatoes, while maintaining a sturdy presence next to the cheese. On another note, a pomegranate juice with its light body accentuates the tomato's natural sweetness and complements the basil's green notes.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest coupling our Margherita with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something on the sweeter side, our local Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas heaped with savory cured meats like pepperoni or sausage demand juices with robust body and a touch of spice. The jammy essence of a spiced cherry juice, complete with a peppery kick, matches the hearty flavors of the meat toppings. Blackcurrant juice acts as an appealing alternative with its rustic, dark berry taste and tart finish to cleanse the palate from the rich meats.
Our specific recommendation: Many patrons enjoy our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles introduce an earthy, umami complexity that harmonizes well with beverages of a similar nature. Beetroot juice comes through with subtle, grounding flavors that match the fungal elements, balanced with intrinsic sweetness. Forest berry blends are another exceptional choice, unveiling composite berry tones that echo the pizza’s inherent earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a perfect match for Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas with offerings like prawns or clams pair ideally with tart, mineral-forward juices. A stimulating citrus blend draws out the best in seafood toppings with its refreshing zest, while Sea buckthorn juice is another great match with high acidity and a tropical tang that delicately balances the seafood finesse.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes exquisitely with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas decked with a variety of vegetables can be complemented with herbal-infused juices. An invigorating green detox juice that includes spinach, celery, and apple mirrors and amplifies the pizza's vegetable flavors. Alternatively, Cucumber melon juice brings a subtle delicacy and lightness that pairs without overshadowing the vegetables.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is wonderfully balanced with Daily Green Detox or the coolness of Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A sumptuous four-cheese pizza benefits from a drink that either complements or contrasts the flavors. Creamy almond milk offers nutty undertones that resonate with the cheese mix, whereas a sparkling apple juice gives a refreshing effervescence and tang to slice through the cheese’s creaminess, adding a fruity variation to the savory profile.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi finds its ideal partner in Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with punch, such as those with chili or spicy sausage, smooth or piquant juices are a haven. Mango lassi mitigates heat while its velvety texture comforts between bites. Ginger turmeric juice also holds its own against these fiery flavors, offering an exciting contrast in taste with added anti-inflammatory perks.
Our specific recommendation: The intense flavors of our Spicy Diavola pizza are perfectly cooled by a Homemade Mango Lassi or enlivened with a Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the daring indulgers of our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, lusciously sweet juices are key. A mixed berry smoothie emphasizes the flavors of fruit atop dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond milk is a divine match for chocolate-hazelnut variations, ensuring the beverage's sweetness harmonizes with the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: The decadence of our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is amplified with a Triple Berry Blast or indulged with Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
