While carbonated drinks have often been pizza's go-to match, aficionados of juice understand that an apt juice selection can lift a pizza meal to astonishing delights. Here at MoonCustard, partnering with connoisseurs in our vicinity, we've mapped out juice combinations that are the perfect accompaniment to our pizza offerings. No matter if you're enjoying our cuisine at our establishment or at your abode, these suggestions ensure the ideal juice choice for your preferred slice of pizza.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita, with its ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, requires a drink that doesn’t overshadow its subtle tastes. A handcrafted tomato basil juice mirrors the sharpness of the tomatoes while still balancing well with the mozzarella. On the other hand, a light pomegranate fusion brings out the tomatoes' sweet side and pairs well with the fresh basil.
Our special suggestion: Our signature Margherita shines with our Tomato Basil Cooler or, for an alternate sweet choice, a local Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Sweet and Spicy Cherry or Rich Blackcurrant
Zesty meat-topped pizzas such as those with pepperoni or sausage benefit from juices that have sufficient depth and a zesty edge. A cherry juice infused with spice, bearing fruity undertones and a spicy kick, harmonizes well with the savoury and zesty meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice provides a dark berry essence with a tangy finish, cutting through the meats' sumptuousness.
Our special suggestion: Patrons often favor our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Velvety Beet or Forest Berry Mix
Mushrooms and truffles, known for their earthy, savoriness, suit juices that offer comparable undertones. Beet juice with its subtle earthiness is a fine match, its inherent sweetness countering the richness. A forest berry blend is suitable too, with its intricate berry flavors reflecting the natural earthy taste of the pizza.
Our special suggestion: Our Wild Mushroom pizza goes wonderfully with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Bright Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas decked with seafoods like prawns or clams, zesty juices with a hint of mineral essence are the ideal mates. Juices made from a variety of citrus offer a refreshing vignette that lifts the seafood, along with vibrant notes that elevate the overall dish. Sea buckthorn, with its high tartness and hints of tropical taste, is another excellent option, offering a subtle sourness that complements the seafood without dominating it.
Our special suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is superbly matched with our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Harmonizer or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas adorned with an assortment of vegetables benefit from adaptable, herbaceous juices. A Green Harmonizer combining spinach, celery, and apple resonates with and accentuates the flavors of veggies like bell peppers and artichokes. A Cucumber Melon juice presents a subdued freshness and a light body that copes well with a range of vegetable textures without overpowering them.
Our special suggestion: Our Garden Harvest pizza pairs immaculately with the Daily Green Harmonizer or the chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Smooth Almond or Effervescent Apple
The luxuriousness of a pizza loaded with four varieties of cheese requires a drink that either complements or contrasts it. Smooth almond milk, with nutty undercurrents, reflects the cheesy texture, while an effervescent apple juice offers a contrasting effervescence and tanginess to cut through the creamy richness, its fruity undertones providing a delightful juxtaposition to the savory cheese mix.
Our special suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is ideally paired with Vanilla Almond Milk or a zesty Sparkling Apple Crisp.
For the Spicy Pie: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas that feature elements like chili flakes or spicy meats pair well with soothing creamy or feisty juices. Mango lassi offers a cooling effect while its rich texture alleviates the palate between bites. Moreover, a juice imbued with ginger and turmeric can stand up to the spiciness while providing an interesting flavor counterpoint with added wellness benefits.
Our special suggestion: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is ideally matched with Home-crafted Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or Lush Chocolate Almond
For the bold who indulge in sweet pizzas like those with Nutella and fruit toppings, dessert beverages are key. Blended berry smoothies suit fruit-topped pizzas well, while lush chocolate almond milk creates a sublime combination with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. The crucial factor is to ensure that the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the desert itself.
Our special suggestion: Our dessert pizza with Nutella and Strawberries pairs divinely with the Triple Berry Blast or the Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
