Although carbonated drinks are often seen as the go-to partner for pizza, those who fancy juices know that a well-chosen juice can take a pizza meal to the next level. At Crust & Crumble Pizzeria, our collaboration with local connoisseurs has led to the curation of juice recommendations that are a flawless match for our array of pizzas. Whether you're eating at our establishment or opting for takeout, these suggestions will assist you in discovering the quintessential juice for your preferred pizza style.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Mix or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, adorned with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, necessitates a juice that maintains the subtle essence of its ingredients. A handcrafted tomato basil beverage provides the needed acidity to complement the tomatoes and is robust enough to balance the cheese. As an alternative, a pomegranate concoction with a lighter body delivers a sophisticated flair with fruity notes that lift the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and pair nicely with the basil.
Our specific recommendation: The Margherita goes excellently with our in-house Tomato Basil Drink or, if you desire a hint of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry fusion sourced locally.
Pepperoni and Meat Extravaganza: Spicy Cherry Blend or Blackcurrant Selection
Pizzas topped extensively with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto call for juices that can parallel the intensity and flavor of the toppings. A Spicy Cherry concoction, melding luscious fruit flavors with a spicy note, pairs outstandingly with the savory and hot elements of the meats. Alternatively, blackcurrant selections exude a deep fruitiness with a refreshing tang that slices through the richness of the meats effervescently.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly savor pairing our Meat Lovers' pizza with our exclusive Spicy Cherry Syrup or the Organic Blackcurrant Delight.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beet or Forrest Berry Mix
The deep, savory taste of mushrooms and truffles require a beverage that carries a similar profile. Beetroot juice, with its subtle soily scent, pairs admirably with the flavors of mushrooms. It contains a natural sweetness that compensates for the richness, whereas a forrest berry mixture introduces intricate berry undertones that reflect the grounded essence of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is sublime with our Beetroot Extraction or a Brew of Wild Forrest Berries.
Seafood Specialty: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Essence
For pizzas garnished with seafood delicacies like prawns and clams, crisp beverages with a mineral complexity are the best companions. A citrus mixture refreshes the palate and enhances seafood flavors with its vibrancy. Sea buckthorn as a choice stands out with its tart punch and tropical notes, offering a perfect subtlety around the seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Seafood pizza is a fine match with our Zesty Citrus Blend or an Organic Sea Buckthorn Extract.
Vegetarian's Choice: Herbal Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Blend
Pizzas crowned with assorted vegetables bode well with multi-purpose, herbal-inspired juices. A detoxifying green juice that features spinach, celery, and apple aligns with and highlights the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetables. A cucumber melon beverage, with its delicate coolness and light body, complements the different textures of the vegetables without being too dominant.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Delight pizza is harmoniously paired with a Daily Green Cleanse or a Refreshing Cucumber Melon Mix.
Quattro Cheese Harmony: Silky Almond or Bubbly Apple
A pizza dense with a quartet of cheeses necessitates a drink that offers either a congruent or contrasting taste profile. An almond milk, smooth and rich, complements the nutty elements in the cheese mix. On the contrary, an effervescent apple juice with its sparkling nature and tartness cuts through the cheese's indulgence, while adding a fruity nuance.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese pizza pairs delightfully with a Vanilla Almond Beverage or a Carbonated Apple Zest.
Fiery Selections: Mango Cream Beverage or Ginger Turmeric Tonic
For pizzas loaded with spices such as chili flakes or with hot sauces, juices that are either creamy or have a kick provide a comforting balance. A mango lassi with its creamy texture offers a cooling effect, whereas a ginger turmeric beverage not only matches the spices but also brings an intriguing contrast, along with healthful properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola finds its perfect companion with our Handmade Mango Cream or our Firefly Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Sweet Pizza Conclusion: Berry Smoothie or Creamy Chocolate Almond
For those braving our Nutella and fruit laden dessert pizzas, complimentary sweet beverages are a must. Berry smoothies work well with pizzas topped with fruits, and a chocolate almond milk is a blissful complement to chocolate-hazelnut variations. The beverage should match or exceed the sweetness of the dessert pizza itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Sweet Pizza is heavenly when accompanied by a Triple Berry Smoothie or a Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
