Although soda is often seen as pizza’s classic partner, juice fans know that a thoughtful pairing can lift your pizza experience dramatically. At Brick & Basil Pizzeria, we’ve teamed up with local specialists to craft juice suggestions that suit our menu seamlessly. Whether you’re eating in or taking your meal to go, these ideas will help you choose the ideal juice for any pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato-Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
Margherita’s simplicity—fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—calls for a drink that won’t overshadow its delicate balance. A fresh tomato–basil juice brings bright acidity that mirrors the tomatoes and enough body to support the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate blend adds refined red-fruit notes that highlight tomato sweetness and play well with basil’s herbal character.
Our pick: We love our Margherita with the signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat-Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pies stacked with pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto need juices with depth and a touch of spice. Spiced cherry, with its jammy fruit and peppery finish, stands up to salty, spicy meats. Blackcurrant is another great choice, offering rustic dark-berry flavors and a tart edge that cuts through richness.
Our pick: Guests especially enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with the Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom & Truffle: Beetroot or Wild Berry
The earthy umami of mushrooms and truffles pairs best with juices that echo those notes. Beetroot juice brings subtle earthiness and gentle sweetness that balances richness. A forest berry blend also excels, layering complex berry tones that resonate with the pizza’s savory depth.
Our pick: Try the Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas topped with prawns, clams, or other seafood, crisp juices with a mineral lift are ideal. A citrus blend refreshes and brightens, enhancing delicate seafood flavors. Sea buckthorn offers high acidity, tropical nuance, and a clean tartness that won’t overpower subtle toppings.
Our pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs beautifully with Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber-Melon
Vegetable-forward pizzas benefit from versatile, herb-leaning juices. A green detox mix with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and elevates peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. Cucumber–melon brings cool, gentle freshness that complements varied textures without dominating.
Our pick: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds harmony with Daily Green Detox or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four-Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pie invites either complement or contrast. Creamy almond milk adds nutty notes that enhance the cheese blend. For contrast, choose sparkling apple—its bubbles and acidity refresh the palate while fruity character offsets savory intensity.
Our pick: Our Quattro Formaggi pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger-Turmeric
With chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey, cooling or boldly spiced juices shine. Mango lassi soothes and calms the palate between bites. Ginger–turmeric stands up to heat while offering lively contrast and comforting, warming notes.
Our pick: Our Spicy Diavola is a perfect match for Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate-Almond
For Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, sweeter drinks are crucial. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-focused slices, while chocolate–almond milk pairs luxuriously with chocolate-hazelnut versions. Make sure your drink is at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Matching Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the dominant flavor of the pizza, not only the crust or sauce
- High-acid, tangy juices generally complement tomato-based pizzas
- Sparkling juices are versatile and pair well with almost any pizza
- Be open to trying new combinations—unexpected matches can be unforgettable
