While fizzy drinks are often thought to be pizza’s best friend, aficionados of juice know that a thoughtfully selected juice can take a pizza meal to another level. At FutureSolutions, we’ve partnered with connoisseurs from the area to devise recommendations for juice selections that perfectly go with our pizzas. These suggestions are sure to enhance your dining experience whether you’re seated inside our eatery or relishing a meal at your place.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza, with its simple flavors of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, deserves a juice that doesn’t overshadow its subtleness. A self-made tomato basil juice adds just the right zing that goes along with the tomatoes and the structure to balance the cheese. A Pomegranate mix, being more on the light side, introduces a nice berry flavor that complements both the tomato’s sweetness and the basil’s aromatic profile.
Our top pick: The Margherita is delightful when accompanied by our own Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a touch of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry concoction sourced from local farms.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Heavier pizzas with generous toppings of cured meats such as pepperoni or ham call for juices that have the vigor and spice to match these robust flavors. A Spicy cherry juice, rich in fruity taste with a hint of a spicy kick, harmonizes well with the meat’s saltiness and spicy nature. Alternatively, Blackcurrant juice delivers deep, rustic berry flavors and a tartness that can cleanse the palate from the meats’ savory everpresence.
Our top pick: Patrons rave about our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when paired with our Meat Lovers’ pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Pizzas featuring the earthy tones of mushrooms and truffle necessitate juices with depths that match. Beetroot juice has subtle earthy nuances that marry well with mushroom flavors while its inherent sweetness counters the richness. A forest berry blend is also an excellent choice, with its complex notes that echo the pizza’s earthy flavors.
Our top pick: Our specialty, Wild Mushroom pizza is a match made in gastronomic heaven with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Mix.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-rich pizzas like those topped with prawns or scallops pair well with juices that provide a refreshing mineral hit. A Citrus medley enlivens the seafood’s flavors while brightening the overall taste profile. Sea Buckthorn, known for its vibrant acidity and slight tanginess, offers a balanced flavor that does not overwhelm the subtle taste of seafood.
Our top pick: A coupling of our Mediterranean Seafood pizza with a Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn Juice is quite remarkable.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with a variety of vegetables need juices that can engage with an assortment of tastes without taking over. A detox juice with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple resonates with, and elevates, the flavors of toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, Cucumber melon juice brings a fresh, light touch that holds its own against different vegetable textures without dominating.
Our top pick: The medley of vegetables on our Garden Harvest pizza is flawlessly balanced with our Daily Green Detox or the subtly sweet Cucumber Melon Chiller.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The opulent nature of a four cheese pizza can be complemented by juices that either echo or contrast its flavors. Creamy almond milk resonates with the nutty nuances inherent in the cheese mix. For a refreshing contrast, sparkling apple juice—with its gentle effervescence and sharpness—cuts through the rich, cheesy goodness while offering a fruity counterbalance.
Our top pick: A combination of our Quattro Formaggi pizza with an aromatic Vanilla Almond Milk or the tingling Sparkling Apple Crisp is simply sublime.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas spiced up with hot toppings or sauces scream for juices that can offer a cooling effect or hold their own. A Mango Lassi provides creamy solace to the taste buds, while Ginger Turmeric lends a zesty contrast that can stand up to the heat and provides added health benefits.
Our top pick: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly soothed by our homemade Mango Lassi or the punchy Firefly Ginger Turmeric Tonic.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the bold enough to explore dessert pizzas, like our Nutella and fruit variety, saccharine juices are a must. Berry smoothies marry well with fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk is a decadent pairing for chocolate-hazelnut combinations. It's crucial that the juice matches the dessert in sweetness.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly alongside a Triple Berry Blast or a velvety Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
