Historically, soda might have been the go-to drink for pizza, but those who adore juice understand that a carefully selected juice can take a pizza meal from good to great. At EvenQuarter, a collaborative effort with local connoisseurs has led to an expertly-curated list of juice pairings that beautifully accentuate our vast menu. Whether you choose to savor our pizzas on-site or at home, these curated suggestions assist in discovering the ideal juice complement for your chosen type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
The uncomplicated nature of a Margherita pizza, with its fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, necessitates a juice that can embrace these subtle tastes. Choose a savory tomato basil juice to match the sourness of the tomatoes and compete with the cheesy texture, or a delicate pomegranate mix to echo the tomato's sweetness and highlight the aromatic basil.
Our top pick: Our Tomato Basil Chiller or a fine Pomegranate Blueberry concoction from the region are our go-to choices for our Margherita.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
For pizzas brimming with salami, ham, or bacon, juices with robust body and a hint of spice balance out the intense tastes of the meats. A spiced cherry juice, punctuated with its rich fruit flavor and a hint of peppery zest, pairs perfectly with the saltiness and kick of meaty toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice, with its deep berry taste and tart aftertaste, cuts through the meats' richness effectively.
Our top pick: Patrons frequently choose our crafted Spiced Cherry Elixir or the pure Organic Blackcurrant Supreme to go with our Meat Fest pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The deep umami essence of mushrooms and truffles benefits from juices that mirror these flavors. Beetroot juice, with its slight sweetness and earthy undertones, is the perfect match for fungi-rich pizzas. A forest berry concoction, rich in intricate berry flavors, also complements the earthiness exceptionally.
Our top pick: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is divine when paired with our Freshly Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry mixture.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas that feature seafood such as prawns or mussels are complemented by sharp, mineral-like juices. The zestiness of a citrus blend brings out the freshness of the seafood, while a sea buckthorn juice, being tropically vibrant and mildly tart, does not overpower the delicate seafood flavors.
Our top pick: Our Citrus Fusion or Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir are the perfect accompaniments for our Mediterranean Seafood pizza.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with an assortment of vegetables pair well with juices that feature herbal notes. A green cleanse juice comprising spinach, celery, and green apple matches the taste profiles of bell peppers and artichoke hearts. A Cucumber Melon Juice is a light and fresh option, well-suited to the texture of various vegetables without overwhelming the palate.
Our top pick: Our verdant Garden Harvest pizza pairs exquisitely with our Daily Green Cleanse or the refreshing Cucumber Melon Dew.
Four Cheese Pizza: Silky Almond or Effervescent Apple
A heavy four-cheese pizza requires either a juice that complements or contrasts its texture. A smooth almond milk with nutty undertones helps to highlight the cheese's rich flavors. In contrast, a bubbly apple juice with its crisp acidity and fruitiness, offers a refreshing counterbalance to the savory cheese.
Our top pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is an excellent match for our Vanilla Almond Blend or Sparkling Apple Tang.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Spicy toppings such as hot peppers or spiced sausage are soothed by smooth or zesty juices. The creamy mango lassi offers a cooling sensation while its silkiness provides relief between spicy mouthfuls. A ginger turmeric juice stands resilient against the heat, presenting a compelling contrast and healthful properties.
Our top pick: Our fiery Spicy Diavola pizza pairs seamlessly with our Creamy Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For our unique Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, juices that are sweet in nature are a necessary pairing. A blended berry smoothie supports the fruit flavors of the dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond drink perfectly complements a chocolate and hazelnut spread base. The key is a beverage that can match the sweetness level of the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza with a Berry Explosion Smoothie or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Milk is a taste of heaven.
