Traditionally, soda has been pizza’s go-to drink, but juice enthusiasts know the right pairing can elevate the meal. At CaptureGreenWide, we’ve teamed up with local experts to craft juice suggestions that align seamlessly with our menu. Whether you dine in our restaurant or order for takeaway, these ideas will help you choose the ideal juice for your favorite pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The Margherita’s simple combo of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil calls for a juice that won’t overpower the delicate flavors. A homemade tomato basil juice brings bright acidity that matches the tomatoes while providing enough structure to support the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate blend offers elegant red fruit notes that accentuate the sweetness of the tomatoes and complement the herbaceous basil.
Our specific recommendation: We enjoy pairing our Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for something sweeter, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizza topped with cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto needs juices with body and spice to match their bold flavors. Spiced cherry juice, with its jammy fruit character and peppery finish, pairs beautifully with the saltiness and heat of the meats. As an alternative, try blackcurrant juice, which offers rustic dark fruit flavors and a tart finish that cuts through the richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our guests especially enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, umami notes of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices that carry similar tones. Beetroot juice provides delicate earthy aromas that complement the fungi flavors, with natural sweetness balancing the richness. A forest berry blend also works nicely, developing complex berry notes that echo the earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Try our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas featuring prawns, clams, or other seafood, crisp juices with mineral notes are ideal companions. A citrus blend adds refreshing qualities that enhance seafood flavors, along with bright notes that lighten the overall experience. Sea buckthorn juice is another excellent choice, with its high acidity, tropical character, and a touch of tartness that won’t overwhelm delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs beautifully with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-topped pizzas offer a medley of flavors that benefit from versatile, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and enhances the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. Cucumber melon juice provides subtle freshness and a light body that holds up to various textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds perfect harmony with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pizza calls for either a complementary or contrasting approach. A creamy almond milk offers nutty notes that pair with the cheese blend. For contrast, try a sparkling apple juice—its effervescence and acidity cut through the richness, while its fruity character provides a pleasant counterpoint to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
When dealing with pizzas featuring chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey, creamy or spicy juices offer welcome relief. Mango lassi cools the palate with its creamy texture between bites. Ginger turmeric juice also holds up well to heat while delivering an intriguing flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza finds its match in Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those daring enough to try our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet drinks are essential. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk pairs beautifully with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is ensuring the beverage is at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs wonderfully with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
