While carbonated soft drinks are often the classic go-to for a pizza meal, aficionados of juice have discovered that the ideal juice combination can greatly enhance the pizza dining experience. At Crust & Crafts Pizzeria, we've partnered with culinary experts to formulate juice suggestions that complement our pizza offerings flawlessly. Whether you're eating at our establishment or having a pizza night at home, these recommendations will assist in finding the impeccable juice match for your cherished pizza variety.
Traditional Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, calls for a juice that respects these subtle qualities. A crafted tomato basil juice provides a vibrant tang that echoes the tomato while giving a firm backdrop to the mozzarella. On the other hand, a pomegranate concoction introduces refined red fruit hints that enhance the tomato's natural sweetness and marry well with the earthy basil.
Our top pick: We suggest enjoying our Margherita with our special Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a hint of sweetness, a locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Selection
Pizzas loaded with savory meats like pepperoni or sausage demand a juice with enough character and zest to align with their robust flavors. A hearty spiced cherry juice, replete with its fruity intensity and bold finish, pairs excellently with the umami and heat from these toppings. Blackcurrant juice also provides a fine alternative, delivering deep, dark berry flavors and a tangy edge that slices through the meaty richness.
Our top pick: Patrons especially relish our home-crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Lovers' pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot Blend or Berry Forest Mix
The earthy, savory taste of mushrooms and truffles is best matched with juices that can reflect these characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its subtle earthy undertones, beautifully enhances the flavors of various fungi, while its inherent sweetness serves as a counterbalance to the richness. In addition, a juice made from a selection of forest berries complements well, building a complexity of flavors that resonates with the pizza’s depth.
Our top pick: Experience our Wild Mushroom pizza with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Beverage or a Wild Berry Forest concoction.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Zest or Sea Buckthorn Variety
For pizzas topped with seafood like prawns or clams, crisply flavored juices with a mineral edge are the ideal pairing. A citrus infusion provides refreshment that highlights seafood flavors, with lively zest that brightens the palate. Additionally, sea buckthorn juice with its pronounced acidity and tropical hint, along with a delicate tartness, pairs well without overshadowing the seafood’s nuances.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes delightfully with our vibrant Citrus Zest or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Freshness
Pizzas adorned with an array of vegetables benefit from adaptable, herbal-infused juices. A green detox concoction including spinach, celery, and apple complements and enhances the taste of ingredients like bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice offers a subtle zest and a light consistency that pairs well with different vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Supreme pizza is a perfect match with the Daily Green Cleanse or a chilled Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Smooth Almond or Effervescent Apple
A decadent four-cheese pizza requires a juice that can either complement its richness or create a delightful contrast. A smooth almond beverage offers comforting nutty flavors that echo the cheeses’ creamy profiles. Whereas, an effervescent apple juice, with its bubbly nature and crisp acidity, cuts finely through the cheese’s richness, and its sweet notes provide a pleasing balance to the savory cheese mixture.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza suits wonderfully with a Vanilla Almond Beverage or a Fizzy Apple Spritzer.
Spicy Pizzas: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Concoction
For pizzas with hot ingredients like chili or spicy pepperoni, juices that are creamy or infused with spices can offer solace. A velvety mango lassi cools the heat while its lush texture alleviates between bites. A ginger turmeric blend stands firm against the spiciness and adds a captivating contrast in flavors while boasting anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top pick: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza complements well with our In-house Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Beverage.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Fusion
For the bold diners trying our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruits, sweet juices become essential. A berry smoothie pairs seamlessly with fruit-topped varieties, whereas chocolate almond milk creates a divine couple with chocolate-hazelnut creations, with an emphasis on selecting a drink at least as sweet as the dessert itself.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry dessert pizza is heavenly with the Triple Berry Smoothie or the Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance for Matching Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the pizza's prominent flavors rather than just evaluating its crust or sauce
- High-acidity juices often pair well with tomato-centric pizzas due to the shared acidic profile
- Bubbly juices can be considered all-rounders that harmonize with most pizza types
- Be daring with your choices—unexpected combos can sometimes result in the most memorable matches

Our personnel is always prepared to propose the consummate juice for your pizza choice. We even offer tasting flights that feature an assortment of three diverse juices with your meal.
Keep in mind, while these tips can guide you towards finding complementary pairings, your own taste preferences are paramount. The finest juice to accompany your pizza is, without a doubt, the one you take the most pleasure in drinking!
