Although cola is often seen as the go-to drink for pizza, those who favor juice know that the proper selection can take a pizza meal from ordinary to extraordinary. At HarborHorizon, in collaboration with culinary connoisseurs, we've put together a list of juices that seamlessly accompany our dishes. Whether it's dining in or enjoying our food at home, use our suggestions to discover the ideal juice for every style of pizza you adore.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Sweet Pomegranate
The clean flavors of tomato, mozzarella, and basil on a Margherita pizza beg for a juice that enhances but doesn't dominate. A tomato basil blend provides tangy notes that mirror the fresh tomato while holding its own against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a light pomegranate mix introduces lush notes of red fruit that elevate the tomato sweetness and play well with the basil.
Our top pick: We suggest trying our Margherita pizza with the bespoke Tomato Basil Splash or, for a hint of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry concoction from local producers.
Peppery Meat Pizzas: Cherry with a Kick or Tart Blackcurrant
Pizzas covered with rich meats like pepperoni, sausage, or bacon call for strong, spicy juices. A cherry juice laced with spice delights with its fruity richness and spicy kick, balancing out the strong flavors and saltiness of the meats. Alternatively, a blackcurrant juice offers deep berry tastes with a refreshing tartness that slices through the meat's density.
Our top pick: Patrons particularly relish our homemade Cherry with Spice Infusion or the Pure Blackcurrant Delight with our hearty Meat Lovers' selection.
Fungi and Truffle Pizza: Earthy Beet or Berries of the Forest
The complex, deep flavors of mushrooms and truffle oils are perfectly paired with juices carrying earthy undertones. Beetroot juice, with its soft earthiness, pairs exquisitely with mushroom flavors, and the sweetness balances the umami taste. A juice mixed with forest berries is also an excellent choice, evolving complex, layered notes that complement the pizza's earthiness.
Our top pick: Pair our Exotic Mushroom pizza with our Fresh Beetroot Elixir or the Mixed Berry Forest Fusion.
Seafood Pizza Match: Zesty Citrus or Tangy Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas like those with prawns or clams benefit from vibrant juices with a hint of minerality. A citrus mix offers a lively refreshment that brings out the best in seafood, while sea buckthorn juice presents a tangy, almost tropical flavor that doesn't outshine the delicate seafood taste.
Our top pick: Try our Coastal Delight pizza with a Fizzy Citrus Blast or the Pure Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Garden Vegetable Pizza: Cleansing Greens or Cool Cucumber Melon
The variety of tastes on a veggie pizza is best complemented with refreshing, herbal juices. A 'green detox' blend makes use of spinach, celery, and apple to echo the veggies like bell peppers and artichokes. For a subtly sweet touch, a cucumber melon juice matches the texture of various veggies without overwhelming them.
Our top pick: Our Veggie Delight pizza pairs perfectly with our Invigorating Green Cleanse or the Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Nutty Almond or Lively Sparkling Apple
The indulgent richness of a four-cheese blend is best met with either a juice that complements or contrasts. Nut-themed almond milk offers a richness that echoes the cheese's creamy texture. A sparkling apple juice provides a light effervescent quality and acid that cuts the dense cheese, proving a delightful contrast.
Our top pick: Enjoy our Quattro Formaggi slice alongside the Smooth Vanilla Almond Draft or Bubbly Apple Sparkler.
Fiery Pizzas: Cooling Mango Lassi or Bold Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a spicy kick, go for soothing creamy or enticingly spicy juices. A mango lassi calms the heat while offering a creamy solace between fiery bites. Meanwhile, a ginger turmeric juice not only withstands the spice but also adds an interesting flavor dynamic.
Our top pick: Match our Scorching Diavola with our House Mango Lassi or the Infused Ginger Turmeric Zing.
Sweet Treat Pizzas: Berried Smoothie or Decadent Chocolate Almond
For the daring souls who opt for our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruit, delectably sweet juices are a must. Berry smoothies resonate with fruit toppings, while chocolate almond variations are truly a match made in heaven for chocolate-hazelnut spreads.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Pizza pairs divinely with our Berry Smoothie Burst or Rich Chocolate Almond Elixir.
