Traditionally, soda has been pizza’s go-to beverage, but juice fans know the right pairing can lift a slice to new levels. At EquiDistantMeadow, we’ve teamed up with local experts to craft juice suggestions that harmonize with our menu. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a takeaway, these ideas will help you pick the ideal juice for your favorite pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The simple Margherita—tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—needs a juice that won’t overpower its delicate notes. A homemade tomato basil juice provides bright acidity that matches the tomatoes while offering enough body to pair with the cheese. Alternatively, a light pomegranate blend adds red-fruit brightness that complements the tomatoes and the herbaceous basil.
Our specific recommendation: We love pairing our Margherita with our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or, for something sweeter, a locally-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas loaded with cured meats call for juices with depth and spice to stand up to bold flavors. Spiced cherry juice, with its jammy fruit character and peppery finish, pairs beautifully with the saltiness and spice of meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice offers rustic dark fruit flavors and a tart finish that cuts through the richness of the meats.
Our specific recommendation: Our customers particularly enjoy our house-made Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The earthy, umami notes of mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices that share similar undertones. Beetroot juice yields subtle earthy aromas that complement fungi flavors, with natural sweetness balancing the richness. A forest berry blend also works nicely, developing complex berry flavors that mirror the earthiness of the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Try our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas featuring prawns, clams, or other seafood, crisp juices with mineral notes are ideal companions. A citrus blend brings refreshing qualities that enhance seafood flavors, along with bright notes that lighten the overall experience. Sea buckthorn juice is another excellent option, with high acidity, tropical character, and a subtle tartness that won’t overwhelm delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza pairs beautifully with our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-topped pizzas benefit from juices with herbal notes. A green detox juice with spinach, celery, and apple echoes and enhances the flavors of peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. Cucumber melon juice provides gentle freshness and a light body that stands up to various vegetable textures without overpowering them.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds perfect harmony with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The richness of a four-cheese pie invites either a complementary or contrasting pairing. Creamy almond milk offers nutty notes that augment the cheese. For contrast, try a sparkling apple juice—the fizz and acidity cut through the richness, while its fruity character provides a pleasant counterpoint to the savory cheeses.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey pair well with creamy or spicy juices. Mango lassi cools the palate with its creamy texture, while ginger turmeric juice holds up to heat and offers an interesting flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza finds its match in Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For dessert pizzas featuring Nutella and fruit, sweet drinks are essential. Mixed berry smoothies complement fruit-topped desserts, while chocolate almond milk pairs beautifully with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The key is to choose a drink that’s at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs wonderfully with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.

- High-acid juices generally pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the tomatoes’ natural acidity
