Though many associate soda with pizza as a classic duo, those who appreciate juices understand that the right juice combination can enhance a pizza meal significantly. At SavorClearWander, our collaboration with culinary specialists has led us to craft a selection of juice pairings that flawlessly accent the pizzas on our menu. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or indulging in a pizza at home, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice selection for your chosen pizza variant.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza's simple blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil necessitates a juice that can complement without dominating these subtle tastes. Making your own tomato basil juice offers a zesty tartness that echoes the tomato, while also holding its own against the cheese. On the other hand, a pomegranate mix with a lighter body brings forth graceful red fruity notes that accentuate the tomato's sweetness and pair nicely with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest enjoying our Margherita pizza with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, if one prefers a sweeter taste, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend sourced from local suppliers.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
The hefty taste of pizzas adorned with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or ham calls for a juice with substantial body and a hint of spice. A Spicy Cherry Juice, bursting with fruity richness and a piquant finish, complements the savory and spicy toppings. Alternatively, Blackcurrant Juice, with its dark, rustic fruitiness and a sharp tang, provides a nice contrast that slices through the meat's decadence.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons frequently favor our homemade Spicy Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme served with our meat-heavy pizzas.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The umami-rich and earthy flavors present in mushroom and truffle pizzas are ideally paired with juices that share similar characteristics. Beetroot juice, with its understated earthiness, elegantly enhances the flavors of the mushrooms, while its inherent sweetness counteracts the richness. Additionally, a Forest Berry mix provides intricate berry undertones that echo the earthiness present on the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Opt for our Wild Mushroom pizza accompanied by Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas that feature toppings like prawns or clams are best harmonized with clean juices that carry mineral undertones. A mixed citrus juice provides a refreshing character that accentuates the taste of seafood while offering vibrant notes that alleviate the palate. Sea Buckthorn Juice serves as another excellent option, with high acidity, tropical notes, and a subtle sourness to complement the delicate seafood flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Seafood Pizza goes exquisitely with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered with veggies offer a rich blend of tastes that are well-suited to more neutral, herbaceous juices. A green cleanse juice that includes a mixture of spinach, celery, and apple, amplifies the flavors of vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. A Cucumber Melon Juice provides a delicate lightness and freshness that holds its own against an array of vegetable textures without being overpowering.
Our specific recommendation: Our Verdant Delight pizza pairs harmoniously with our Daily Green Cleanse or Iced Cucumber Melon Sip.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Fizzy Apple
For a pizza rich with an assortment of cheeses, one might seek a drink that either complements or contrasts the taste. Creamy almond milk, with its nutty undertones, accentuates the cheese's similar flavors. A bubbly apple juice offers a contrasting taste with its effervescence and crispness that cuts through the cheesy richness, in addition to providing a fruity contrast that can be pleasing against the savory cheese toppings.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese Pizza is beautifully paired with either Vanilla Almond Milk or Fizzy Apple Sparkle.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas that are adorned with elements like chili flakes, hot sausage, or fiery honey, demand a drink that can provide a cooling effect or match the spicy intensity. Mango lassi, with its cooling effect and creamy consistency, offers respite between spicy bites. Ginger turmeric juice also counteracts the heat wonderfully while providing an interesting flavor complexity and health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is exceptionally complemented by a Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Tonic.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those bold enough to partake in our dessert pizzas that feature ingredients like Nutella and various fruits, sweeter juices are a must. A berry smoothie pairs perfectly with fruit-covered dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond milk creates an indulgent pairing with our chocolate-hazelnut variants. The key is to ensure that your chosen drink is at least as sweet as the dessert component.
Our specific recommendation: Our Berry and Nutella Dessert Pizza goes divinely with a Mixed Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pairing Pizza and Juice
- Think about the dominant flavors in the pizza rather than just focusing on the crust or sauce types
- Tart juices usually marry well with tomato-based pizzas on account of the natural acidity in tomatoes
- Bubbly juices are adaptable and can accompany nearly any pizza selection
- Experimentation is encouraged—unexpected combinations can produce delightful surprises

We also have an option to taste a flight of juices, enabling guests to sample a variety of three different juices with their meal.
Although these guidelines are designed to direct you towards complementary pairings, your individual preference is paramount. In the end, the most satisfying juice to accompany your pizza is simply the one you delight in drinking the most!
