Although soda is traditionally the go-to drink for pizza, those who appreciate juices understand that an aptly chosen juice can take a pizza meal to the next level. At OpalPlateau, we have partnered with culinary experts to curate juice suggestions that flawlessly match our selection of pizzas. Whether you are dining at our establishment or ordering to enjoy at home, these curated picks will guide you to the ideal juice for whatever pizza you choose.
Iconic Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza's simple elegance of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil necessitates a juice that harmonizes without dominating the flavors. A tomato basil juice exudes a vibrant tang akin to the tomato's own while holding its ground against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate juice delivers refined tart notes that synergize with the tomato sweetness and highlight the basil.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Tomato Basil Delight or a locally crafted Pomegranate Blueberry juice make excellent partners for our Margherita.
Hearty Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Meaty pizzas boasting pepperoni, sausage, or other cured meats require a juice with enough character and a hint of spice to counteract the distinct flavors. A Spicy cherry juice, brimming with rich fruitiness and a zestful kick, complements the savory and spicy meat toppings. As an alternative, blackcurrant juice offers deep berry undertones with a tart edge that slices through the meat's richness.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Spiced Cherry Brew or Pure Blackcurrant Delight are favorites with our Hearty Meat Spectacular pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
An earthy gourmet pizza with mushrooms and truffles pairs exquisitely with juices bearing similar earthbound qualities. Beetroot juice adds a subtle earthiness that perfectly matches the fungi whilst its inherent sweetness offsets the savoriness. Forest berry juice complements well too, with intricate berry notes that resonate with the pizza’s earthy depth.
Our tailored suggestion: Pair our Exotic Mushroom & Truffle pizza with our Pure Beetroot Beverage or a Wild Berry Forest Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Refreshing Citrus or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-centric pizzas like those topped with prawns or clams are best accompanied by zesty juices rich in mineral undertones. A citrus burst reinvigorates the palate, while sea buckthorn juice, with its vivid acidity and slight tang, marries well without overshadowing the seafood's subtle taste.
Our tailored suggestion: Enjoy our Coastal Delight pizza with a Crisp Citrus Quencher or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetarian's Choice: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Veggie-laden pizzas with their rainbow of flavors are complemented by herbal and refreshing juices. A green detox blend with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple parallels and lifts the taste of bell peppers, artichokes, and other greens. A cucumber melon juice brings a gentle, refreshing contrast compatible with the variety of vegetable textures.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Verdant Veg Pizza is a match made in heaven with our Daily Green Detox or a Cool Cucumber Melon Sip.
Quattro Cheese Mastery: Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
The luxurious feel of a four-cheese pizza pairs wonderfully with either a similar or contrasting beverage. Creamy almond milk showcases harmony with its nutty undertone that echoes the cheese blend. In contrast, a bubbly apple juice provides a tart fizz that slices through the cheesy opulence while offering a fruity balance to the savory profile.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Four-Cheese Symphony goes hand in hand with Sweetened Almond Dream or Fizzy Apple Harmony.
For the Heat Seekers: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas embellished with chili peppers, fiery sausage, or sizzling sauces, soothing or spicy juices offer balance. A smooth Mango lassi alleviates the heat, with its velvety texture tempering the spice between mouthfuls, while a Ginger Turmeric juice stands its ground offering both intriguing flavors and health benefits.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Fiery Inferno pizza is brilliantly tamed with our Homemade Mango Lassi or the Zesty Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Divine Dessert Pizzas: Berry Puree or Chocolate Almond
For the dessert pizza enthusiast, sweet juices are vital. A berry smoothie is ideal for complementing fruit-topped versions, while a chocolate almond milk is a match made in heaven for chocolate-hazelnut combinations, ensuring the drink's sweetness aligns with the dessert’s sugary essence.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Sweetened Berry Dream or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Milk flawlessly accompany our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza.
