Traditionally, soda may have been the go-to option for pizza, but juice connoisseurs understand that a thoughtfully selected juice blend can take a pizza meal from good to exceptional. At LeafandStone, in collaboration with culinary specialists, we've curated juice combos that perfectly accentuate our distinct pizza offerings. Whether having a sit-down meal at our eatery or savoring a pizza at home, these endorsed juice selections promise to accompany your chosen slice of pizza superbly.
Iconic Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
The classic Margherita’s fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil necessitate a juice that’s subtle enough not to overshadow its refined flavors. A self-prepared tomato basil juice introduces a zesty tartness that mirrors the tomato while providing enough substance to pair nicely with the cheese. Alternatively, a gentle pomegranate fusion adds sophisticated sweet fruit tones that amplify the tomatoes' sweetness against the basil's fragrant notes.
Our top pick: Our Margherita is delightful with our unique Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter twist, a locally-procured Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Carnivore's Delight: Zesty Cherry or Dark Blackcurrant
A pie dressed in plenty of cured meats like pepperoni demands a juice with the right intensity and a kick to balance the robust tastes. A zesty cherry juice, brimming with sweet fruitiness and a spicy edge, beautifully counteracts the saltiness of the meat toppings. Alternatively, dark blackcurrant juice offers deep fruit flavors and a tangy edge, superb for cutting through the meat’s decadence.
Our top pick: Our clientele especially cherishes our homemade Zesty Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Superior with their Meat Lover's pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet Specialty or Berried Forest Mix
The savory depth of mushrooms and truffles pairs well with juices that share similar earthy undertones. Beet juice reveals subtle soil-like fragrances aligning with mushroom nuances, while its inherent sweetness counters the denseness. A berried forest mix is an excellent counterpart as well, developing intricate berry accents that reflect the intrinsic earthiness of the pizza.
Our top pick: Our Exotic Mushroom pizza is exquisite when accompanied by Cold-Pressed Beet Specialty or Berried Forest Medley.
Seafood Creation: Citrus Burst or Coastal Sea Buckthorn
For seafood-centric pizzas, lively juices with a hint of minerality are the perfect match. A citrus medley introduces zesty notes that enhance the oceanic taste, bringing a light and refreshing balance to the palate. Sea buckthorn juice is another stellar choice with its robust tartness, vibrant tropical notes, and mild bitterness, complementing the subtle flavors of various seafood toppings.
Our top pick: Our Coastal Seafood pizza goes hand in hand with either Citrus Burst or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Ultimate Veggie: Revitalizing Green or Cooling Cucumber Melon
Pizzas crowned with a variety of veggies benefit from adaptable, herby juices. A nourishing green detox blend with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple matches and accentuates the tastes of bell peppers and artichokes. Cucumber melon juice with its unassuming freshness and mellow presence respects the diversity of vegetable flavors without being domineering.
Our top pick: Our Verdant Harvest pizza sings when paired with our Daily Green Cleanse or Chilled Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Quartet of Cheeses: Silky Almond or Bubbly Apple
For a rich four-cheese pizza, select a juice that can either enhance or contrast its flavors. Silky almond milk brings forth nutty undertones that echo the cheese, while a bubbly apple juice, with its light effervescence and tartness, slices through the cheese's richness, offering a delightful flavor contrast.
Our top pick: The Quattro Formaggi is a delight matched with our Vanilla Infused Almond Drink or Bubbly Apple Essence.
Fiery Pizzas: Creamy Mango Lassi or Zingy Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas that pack a punch with chili, fiery sausages, or hot honey, juices that carry a creamy consistency or a bold spice provide soothing relief. Mango lassi, with its cooling effect and smooth texture, is excellent for tempering the heat. Meanwhile, ginger turmeric juice stands strong against spicy elements, offering compelling flavor dynamics and healthful benefits.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Diablo slice is a perfect union with a Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Tonic.
Sugary Delight Pizzas: Berry Fusion Smoothie or Choco Almond Dream
Adventurous enough for a Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizza, one must consider sweet juices. Berry fusion smoothies elevate fruit-adorned dessert pizzas while a sumptuous choco almond drink indulges those who opt for chocolate-hazelnut variations. It's essential to pick a juice that's on par with or sweeter than the dessert itself.
Our top pick: Our Berrylicious Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs like a dream with a Berry Fusion Burst or a Rich Chocolate Almond Indulgence.
