For a long time, soda was the go-to drink for pizza, but those who adore juice realize that a good juice can enhance the pizza experience significantly. At HarborBookCorner, we've worked with regional connoisseurs to suggest juice selections that harmonize beautifully with our pizzas. These pairings will make your pizza more enjoyable, whether you're savouring it in our eatery or at home.
Simplicity of Margherita: Juice with Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Blend
Margherita's simple toppings of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil pair well with a juice that isn't overpowering. Tomato basil juice can complement the tomato and balance against the mozzarella, while a light pomegranate blend can accentuate tomato sweetness and match the basil's flavor.
Precise recommendation: Our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler or a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local sources go excellently with our Margherita pizza.
Pepperoni and Meat Heavy Pizzas: Cherry with Spice or Blackcurrant Juice
Heavily topped meat pizzas such as pepperoni or sausage pair well with bold juices. A cherry juice spiced with pepper complements the cured meat, and a tart blackcurrant juice balances the hearty flavors.
Precise recommendation: The house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or our Organic Blackcurrant Supreme is popular with our meat-loaded pizzas.
Mushroom and Truffle Pizza: Beetroot Juice or Berry Blend from the Forest
For the umami taste of mushrooms and truffles, a juice with earthy notes is perfect. Beetroot juice is a tasty complement with its subtle sweetness, and a forest berry mix brings complementary berry notes.
Precise recommendation: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is enhanced by Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Topped Pizza: Citrus Juice or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas go well with mineral-rich juices such as citrus for a refreshing kick or sea buckthorn for its acidity and mild tartness.
Precise recommendation: Try our Mediterranean Seafood pizza with a Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable-Loaded Pizza: Green Detox Juice or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable pizzas work with juices that have herbal notes. Green detox juice or a cucumber melon juice deliver subtle flavors that don't overpower the veggies.
Precise recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is a great match with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Almond with Creaminess or Apple Sparkler
For the creamy richness of a four-cheese pizza, try almond milk for its nutty compliment or a sparkling apple juice to cut through the richness with its acidity.
Precise recommendation: Vanilla Almond Milk or an effervescent Sparkling Apple Crisp are delightful with our Quattro Formaggi pizza.
Spicy Pizza Variants: Mango Lassi or Ginger with Turmeric
Pizzas with a spicy kick benefit from the cooling effect of mango lassi or the flavorful contrast of a ginger turmeric juice.
Precise recommendation: Mango Lassi made in-house or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost are the go-to choices for our Spicy Diavola pizza.
Sweet Pizzas for Dessert: Berry Smoothie or Almond Chocolate Milk
Dessert pizzas with Nutella or fruits pair nicely with the sweetness of berry smoothies, while a chocolate almond milk can be an ideal match for chocolatey options.
Precise recommendation: Our dessert pizza with Nutella and strawberries is a delight with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
