Though soda is often the go-to drink for pizza, those who favor juice are aware that the appropriate juice choice can raise a pizza meal to a higher standard. At UniversalInsights, our collaboration with culinary connoisseurs has resulted in a curated list of juice combinations that flawlessly suit our offerings. Whether it's a meal in our eatery or a takeaway treat, these suggestions will guide you to the ideal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Simple Margherita: Tomato Basil Drink or Pomegranate Mix
The Margherita pizza's blend of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil necessitates a juice that can enhance but not dominate these subtle tastes. A handcrafted tomato basil beverage complements the tomatoes' acidity and holds its own against the creamy cheese. Alternatively, the delicate characteristics of a pomegranate juice can amplify the tomatoes' sweetness and the freshness of the basil.
Our personalized tip: The Margherita is a delight with our own Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweet twist, a locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry drink.
Pepperoni and Meat-Heavy Pizzas: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Meat-heavy pizzas with ingredients like pepperoni and sausage benefit from robust, spicy juices. A jam-like spicy cherry juice with a hint of pepper harmonizes with both the salty and savory tastes of the meats. Blackcurrant juice is another great choice, offering deep, dark fruit notes with a tart edge that complements the meat's richness.
Our personalized tip: Diners favor our homemade Spicy Cherry Elixir or Pure Blackcurrant Supreme to go with a Meat Lovers' pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Pizzas: Beetroot or Berry Forest Juice
Juices that mirror the umami and earthiness of mushrooms and truffles are ideal with these pizzas. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthiness and natural sweetness, is a perfect match. Similarly, a beverage infused with a mixture of forest berries offers a complex taste that echoes the wild, earthy notes of the pizza.
Our personalized tip: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a hit when paired with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Nectar or Wild Berry Forest Juice.
Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Seafood pizzas match well with zesty juices that carry a hint of minerality. A varied citrus concoction brings a refreshing zest to the seafood's flavor, while sea buckthorn juice offers a punch of high acidity and exotic notes that don't mask the seafood's delicate nature.
Our personalized tip: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes perfectly with a Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Veggie Supreme Pizzas: Green Detox Blend or Cucumber Melon Drink
For pizzas topped with an array of vegetables, choose juices with a breadth of herbal flavors. A green detox mixture with ingredients like spinach and apple can highlight the taste of vegetables such as bell peppers. A cucumber melon juice is light and refreshing, ideal for complementing the mixed textures of the vegetables without overpowering them.
Our personalized tip: The Vegetable Supreme is ideally matched with a Daily Green Detox Blend or a Cool Cucumber Melon Splash.
Quadruple Cheese Pizzas: Nutty Almond Milk or Bubbly Apple Juice
A quadruple cheese pizza needs a drink with either a corresponding or contrasting flavor profile. Nutty almond milk enhances the cheese's flavors, while a fizzy apple juice teaming with acidity can provide a contrast to the richness, and its fruity essence offers a pleasing balance to the savory cheese.
Our personalized tip: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza complements wonderfully with Smooth Vanilla Almond Drink or Bubbly Apple Twist.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Yogurt Blend or Ginger Turmeric Juice
For pizzas with a kick like chili flakes or fiery sausage, go for soothing creamy or zesty juices. A mango yogurt drink can cool the mouth and creamy texture can be comforting. The strong flavors of ginger turmeric also stand out against the heat and add a fascinating contrast while providing health benefits.
Our personalized tip: The Spicy Inferno pizza is well-matched with our Crafted Mango Yogurt Drink or the Ginger Turmeric Zing.
Sweet Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolaty Almond Milk
For those who dare to sample our Nutella and fruit-topped pizzas, a sweet juice is a must. A mixed berry smoothie works well with the fruit elements, while a chocolate almond drink is divine with Nutella-based pizzas. It's critical that the drink is on the sweet side to match the dessert pizza.
Our personalized tip: A heavenly pairing for our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is the Berry Smoothie Extravaganza or a Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Suggestions for Matching Pizza with Juice

- Juices with high acidity generally pair well with tomato-centric pizzas due to their inherent tartness
- Sparkling juices are adaptable options that can accompany almost any pizza type
- Be open to experimenting – some of the most memorable matches might be the most unexpected
