Although cola drinks have traditionally been pizza's go-to match, aficionados of juices understand that a well-chosen juice can take your pizza dining to sublime levels. At BrookLinenWorks, we've worked hand-in-hand with connoisseurs from the area to craft a selection of juice recommendations that are the perfect accompaniment to our dishes. When feasting in our eatery or savoring a meal at home, these suggestions will aid you in selecting the ideal juice for every pizza variety.
Iconic Margherita: Juice of Tomato and Basil or a Mix of Pomegranate
The understated quality of a Margherita pizza with its ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil necessitates a juice that does not dominate these subtle tastes. A blend of tomato and basil juice provides a similar acidity to the tomatoes and sustains its presence alongside the cheese. Alternatively, a pomegranate-based juice with a lighter body can introduce sophisticated notes of red berries that amplify the tomato's sweetness and the basil's herby character.
Our specific recommendation: We take pleasure in pairing our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Chiller or, for a hint of sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry mix that's locally procured.
Pepperoni and Fans of Meat: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas laden with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or ham demand juices that can hold their own against rich and spicy tastes. A juice infused with spicy cherries, characterized by a deep fruit flavor and a spicy kick, pairs wonderfully with the meat's savoriness and spice. A blackcurrant juice serves as an excellent alternative with its dark berry taste and tangy aftertaste that cuts nicely through the meat's fattiness.
Our specific recommendation: Our patrons have a particular fondness for our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme paired with our Carnivore Delight pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beet Juice or a Forest Berry Fusion
Mushroom and truffle-topped pizzas, rich in earthy and umami flavors, are best paired with juices that harbor similar earthy undertones. Beet juice introduces subtle earth flavors that are a beautiful complement to mushrooms, while also balancing out the richness with its innate sweetness. Equally appropriate is a forest berry juice which brings forth a complex blend of berry essences that resonate with the pizza's earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Experiment with our Exotic Mushroom pizza alongside a glass of cold-pressed Beet Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Combo.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn Juice
Seafood-topped pizzas such as those adorned with prawns or clams are best enjoyed with zesty juices that have mineral inflections. A citrus concoction is perfect for its invigorating qualities that uplift the seafood's inherent flavors, along with lively notes that make the meal feel lighter. Sea buckthorn juice is another top-notch choice, boasting high acidity and an exotic flavor profile, its slight sharpness complementing the seafood without overshadowing it.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes hand in hand with either our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Supreme Vegetarian: Healing Green Juice or Cucumber-Melon
Pizzas with a selection of vegetable toppings bring together a mix of tastes that are well-suited to adaptable, herbaceous juices. A detox juice loaded with greens like spinach, celery, and apple reverberates with the flavors of bell peppers and artichokes. The juice of cucumber with melon offers a gentle freshness and mild body that stands up to the diverse textures of the vegetables without overshadowing them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Verdant Bounty pizza pairs perfectly with our Daily Green Detox or a refreshing, chilled Cucumber Melon Enlightener.
Pizza with Four Cheeses: Almond Milk or Fizzy Apple Juice
The indulgent nature of a pizza with a combination of four cheeses warrants a drink that either complements or contrasts it. A silky almond beverage provides nutty subtleties that echo those found in the cheeses. On the contrary, one might opt for a bubbly apple juice whose bubbles and tartness slice through the cheese's creaminess, while its sweet fruit essence offers a delightful counterbalance to the savory profile of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese Symphony finds its match in either Vanilla Almond Indulgence or a Sparkling Apple Delight.
Pizzas with a Spicy Kick: Mango Lassi or Ginger-Turmeric Blend
For pizzas that boast heat from ingredients like spicy sausage or hot sauces, juices that are creamy or carry heat provide a comforting solace. A mango lassi can help cool the palate, its creamy body mitigating the spice intermittently. A juice that combines ginger and turmeric is also well-suited to stand up to the fiery flavors while introducing an interesting contrast in taste along with its benefits for inflammation.
Our specific recommendation: Our Blazing Inferno pizza is well complemented by our in-house Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger-Turmeric Blend.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate-Nut Drink
Those bold enough to try our dessert pizzas, with toppings like hazelnut spread and fruit, require distinctly sweet drinks. A berry smoothie matches the fruit-topped dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond drink is truly divine when paired with chocolate-jammed varieties. The crucial aspect is that the beverage matches the dessert's sweetness.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Berry Dessert Pizza is celestial alongside the Triple Berry Smoothie or Luxurious Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
