Though soda is often the default drink for pizza, those passionate about juices understand that an appropriate juice pair can enhance the pizza dining experience. At StillSummit, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we have developed juice recommendations that gorgeously match our pizza offerings. These pairings are perfect whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or at home with a takeaway, assisting you in discovering the ideal juice to go with your preferred pizza variety.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mixture
A classic Margherita pizza, with its blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that compliments these subtle tastes. A house-crafted tomato basil juice shines bright with acidity similar to the tomatoes and possesses a solid presence against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate blend with a lighter body offers sophisticated notes of red fruit that heighten the tomato sweetness and engage with the aromatic basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita pizza goes exceptionally well with our own Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a locally obtained Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas brimming with savory meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto, select juices robust in body and spice to complement the intense flavors. A cherry juice with added spices, featuring jam-like fruitiness and a zesty kick, beautifully balances the meats' salinity and heat. Blackcurrant juice is another option, providing deep, rustic fruit tones and a tart edge to slice through the meats' richness.
Our top pick: Our homemade Spiced Cherry Concoction or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme are favorites to accompany our Meat Delight pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry Juice
The deep, savorous tastes of mushrooms and truffles are best matched with juices of similar character. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthly flavors, pairs wonderfully with the umami of mushrooms, with natural sweetness balancing the savoriness. Alternatively, a juice blend of forest berries can introduce intricate berry tones that reflect the earthy features of the pizza.
Our top pick: Try our Earthy Mushroom pizza with our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Blend.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Pizzas adorned with seafood such as prawns or clams call for zesty juices that carry mineral nuances. A mixture of citrus fruits brings a freshness that augments seafood flavors, while a sea buckthorn juice delivers sharpness and tropical notes without overpowering the subtle seafood.
Our top pick: Our Coastal Seafood pizza is beautifully complemented by our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Essence.
Supreme Vegetable Pizza: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Juice
Vegetable-heavy pizzas, with their array of tastes, are best accompanied by adaptable, herbaceous juices. A detoxifying green juice containing spinach, celery, and apple aligns with the flavors of fresh produce like bell peppers and artichokes. A cucumber melon juice tempers these with a mild freshness and a palate that stands up to the range of vegetable textures without overwhelming.
Our top pick: Our Garden Medley pizza pairs impeccably with our Daily Green Detox or Cooling Cucumber Melon Concoction.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond Drink or Sparkling Apple Juice
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza invites either a complementary or contrasting juice pairing. Almond milk with a creamy consistency offers nutty undertones that bring out similar notes in the assorted cheeses. In contrast, a fizzy apple juice, with its crispness and tanginess, cuts through the creamy richness, and its fruitiness offers a pleasing contrast to the savory cheese.
Our top pick: Our Four Cheese Pizza harmonizes beautifully with Vanilla Almond Beverage or Fizzy Apple Essence.
Hot and Spicy Pizza: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Drink
Spicy pizzas adorned with chili flakes or fiery toppings benefit from smooth or tangy juices that offer relief from the heat. The creamy mango lassi calms the taste buds with its smooth texture mediating between fiery bites, while ginger turmeric offers a flavorful counterpoint with added health benefits.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Diavola pizza meets its match in our House-made Mango Lassi or Flames of Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Drink
For the bold enough to try our dessert pizzas topped with Nutella and fruit, juicier blends are imperative. Berry smoothies enhance the fruity notes, whereas chocolate almond beverages provide a divine complement to variations featuring chocolate-hazelnut spreads, ensuring that the drink's sweetness matches that of the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza tastes divine when paired with our Triple Berry Fusion or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Beverage.
