Though soda is traditionally favored as the go-to pizza drink, those who adore fresh juices know that a thoughtful juice pairing can take pizza dining to exhilarating levels. At StewGarden, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've devised juice suggestions that perfectly harmonize with our pizza range. Enjoy these curated juice choices whether feasting in our establishment or savoring our pizzas at your convenience.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Tonic or Pomegranate Fusion
The unadorned elegance of a Margherita pizza, with its basic ingredients of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, commands a juice that won't eclipse these finespun tastes. A self-made tomato basil tonic matches the tomatoes' tartness while holding its ground against the mozzarella. On the other hand, a light pomegranate fusion introduces subtle sweet flavors that marry the tomatoes' sweetness and basil's greenness.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest our Tomato Basil Cooler or a regional Pomegranate Blueberry fusion when indulging in our Margherita pizza.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Zesty Cherry or Blackcurrant Nectar
Pizzas laden with cured meats like pepperoni or sausage require juices robust enough to parallel their pronounced tastes. Zesty cherry juice delivers a fruit-forward profile with a spicy kick that handles the meats’ saltiness and heat. As another option, blackcurrant nectar offers opulent dark fruit tastes with a sharp zesty finish that slices through the meaty richness.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons seem to prefer our crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with the Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet Elixir or Forest Berry Mix
Mushrooms and truffles' earthy, savory flavors are best paired with juices carrying similar profiles. Beet elixir provides delicate earthy undertones that perfectly suit mushroom flavors, with its innate sweetness offering balance. A blend of forest berries excels as well, creating intricate berry flavors that reflect the pizza's earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is ideally accompanied by Cold-Pressed Beet Elixir or Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Essence
Seafood-intensive pizzas with prawns or clams blend well with clean juices that have a hint of mineral nature. A vibrant citrus blend complements seafood flavors with its refreshing qualities, while a sea buckthorn essence is equally outstanding, characterized by high acidity and slight tartness that suits seafood's subtle flavor.
Our specific recommendation: Pair our Mediterranean Seafood pizza with a revitalizing Citrus Blend or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetable Deluxe: Revitalizing Green or Cucumber Melon Quencher
The assortment of flavors from vegetable-topped pizzas aligns well with layered, herbaceous juices. A detoxifying green juice containing spinach, celery, and apple resonates with the taste and enhances the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and else. Conversely, a juice with cucumber melon imparts subtle freshness and is well-balanced to complement the diversity of vegetable flavors without being dominating.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Deluxe pizza pairs exquisitely with Daily Green Cleanse or a Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Almond Cream or Effervescent Apple
A quad-cheese pizza necessitates a beverage that either complements or provides a counterbalance to its richness. Almond milk with creamy consistency contributes a nuttiness that plays well with the cheeses' flavors. For a contrasting taste, opt for effervescent apple juice, whose zest and bubbly nature efficiently cut through the heaviness, while its fruitiness serves as an agreeable contrast to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese pizza suits delightfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Effervescent Apple Zing.
Fiery Pizzas: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Elixir
Pizzas spiced with chili, spicy meats, or hot honey benefit from soothing or zesty juices. Mango lassi provides a cooling effect and has a creamy texture that mitigates the heat between slices. A ginger turmeric elixir stands its ground against the piquancy and supplies an intriguing contrast of flavors with added health perks.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza matches seamlessly with Homemade Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Firefly Formula.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Puree or Chocolate Silk Almond
For those daring to try pizzas with Nutella and fruit, sweet juices are paramount. A berry puree supports fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while chocolate silk almond milk pairs divinely with chocolate-hazelnut varieties. It's vital that the beverage is as sweet or sweeter than the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza forms an idyllic match with a Berry Blast Smoothie or Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
