While soft drinks have traditionally been the go-to partner for pizza, those who fancy juices understand that a well-suited juice can take the pizza dining experience to a whole new level. At BoulderWay, we've joined forces with local connoisseurs to compile a list of juice pairings that perfectly accentuate our pizzas. Whether you're eating at our establishment or savoring our pizzas at home, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its uncomplicated combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that maintains the balance of these subtle tastes. A house-made tomato basil concoction offers a fresh, tangy complement to the tomatoes and has a robustness that stands up to the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate blend introduces a sophisticated red fruit flavor that brings out the tomatoes' sweetness and harmonizes with the basil.
Our exclusive suggestion: We recommend trying our Margherita paired with our distinctive Tomato Basil Refreshment or, for those with a sweet tooth, a locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Meaty Selections: Spiced Cherry Juice or Blackcurrant
On pizzas brimming with processed meats such as pepperoni and sausage, you'll want a juice with a substantial body and a hint of spice to match the robust flavors. A spiced cherry juice, with its deeply fruity taste and a touch of heat, complements the meat's savory and spicy character well. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice, with its dark fruit notes and a tart aftertaste, provides a nice contrast to the richness of the meat toppings.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our patrons frequently enjoy our homemade Spiced Cherry Tonic or our Organic Blackcurrant Delight with our Hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Fungi Feast: Beetroot or Forest Berry Juice
The distinctive, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffles are well-matched by juices that share earthy undertones. Beetroot juice harmonizes with the natural flavors of mushrooms, offering a gentle sweetness to counterbalance their richness, while a forest berry blend adds a complex berry note that pairs well with the earthiness of the pizza.
Our exclusive suggestion: Choose our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Blast or a Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Special: Citrus Twist or Sea Buckthorn Elixir
For seafood-topped pizzas like those with prawns and shellfish, refreshing and minerally juices are ideal. A citrus mix brings a zesty, invigorating aspect that heightens the flavor of the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice, with its lively acidity and tropical overtones, is another great selection that doesn't overpower the delicate seafood flavors.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our Coastal Delight pizza is exceptionally paired with our zesty Citrus Twist or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Delight: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Refreshment
For pizzas topped with an array of veggies, you'll find that herbal-infused juices complement the assortment well. A detoxifying green juice with spinach, celery, and a hint of apple amplifies and evolves the vegetable flavors, while cucumber melon juice offers a refreshing lightness that doesn't overpower the diverse texture of vegetables.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our Verdant Bounty pizza is perfectly matched with our Daily Green Purifier or a Cool Cucumber Melon Elixir.
Quartet of Cheeses: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple Cordial
The decadent nature of a four-cheese pizza calls for either a juice that complements or contrasts its profile. Creamy almond milk provides a rich nuttiness that brings out the cheese's flavors, while an effervescent apple drink offers a bubbly and acidic counter that effectively cuts through the cheese's creamy texture.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi slice goes hand in hand with our Silky Vanilla Almond Beverage or Bubbly Apple Zest.
For the Fiery Palate: Mango Curd or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas laced with spicy elements like chili, zesty sausage, or heated drizzles pair well with soothing or spicy beverages. A mango lassi can calm the palate, with its velvety consistency tempering the heat, while a ginger turmeric juice stands up well to the fieriness and adds an interesting dimension of flavor along with health benefits.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our Fierce Diavola creation is balanced out by our Homemade Mango Lassi or our Fiery Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Sweet Pizza Endings: Berry Fusion Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Milk
For dessert pizzas, whether topped with fruits and Nutella or other sweet combinations, a sugary drink is essential. Berry smoothies pair well with fruit-topped desserts, and chocolate almond beverages are a heavenly match for chocolate-hazelnut spreads. It's crucial that the drink matches the dessert pizza's sweetness.
Our exclusive suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry dessert pizza is divinely complemented by a Berry Luscious Smoothie or a Rich Chocolate Almond Drink.
Guidance on Pizza and Juice Combinations
- Focus on the pizza's dominant flavors, rather than merely the crust or sauce
- Tangy juices are generally a successful match with tomato-based pizzas because of the natural acidity in tomatoes
- Bubbly juices are versatile and suit almost any pizza variety
- Be bold with your choices—unexpected combos can sometimes lead to the most delightful experiences
