Gone are the days when sodas were the only drink considered to accompany pizza, as true juice aficionados understand that the ideal juice pairing can lift a pizza indulgence to extraordinary levels. At OrchardBites, we've sought the advice of connoisseurs to suggest juice combinations that enhance our pizza selection to perfection. Whether sitting down at our establishment or having a pizza to go, these curated juice selections are sure to match your preferred pizza variant perfectly.
Authentic Margherita: A Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its simple yet delicious combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, pairs well with a beverage that maintains the integrity of these subtle tastes. A DIY tomato basil juice provides a vibrant acidity that synergizes with the tomato while offering a sturdy backdrop for the mozzarella. On another note, a light pomegranate concoction introduces a sophisticated red berry flavor that amplifies the tomato’s natural sweetness and pairs harmoniously with the aromatic basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita pizza goes hand in hand with our distinct Tomato Basil Chiller or, for a more sugary option, a locally acquired Pomegranate Blueberry fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
For pizzas with a generous helping of cured meats like pepperoni or sausage, a juice with substantial body and a hint of spice is required to match the intense flavors. A tangy cherry juice brings a rich, fruity depth and a zesty finish, which provides a lovely counter to the meats' savoriness and spiciness. Alternatively, embrace the blackcurrant juice for its earthy dark berry taste and a refreshingly tart edge to contrast with the meats' richness.
Our top pick: Patrons especially savour our specially crafted Spiced Cherry Potion or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Meat Lover’s pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Berry Mix from the Forest
For pizzas with a mushroom base and infused with truffle, select juices that mirror their deep, savory notes. Beetroot juice comes through with subtle earthy undertones that flawlessly enhance the mushroom flavors, while the inherent sweetness serves to balance the overall profile. Equally delightful, a mixed berry from the forest develops intricate flavors that resonate well with the earthy character of the pie.
Our top pick: Enjoy our Wild Mushroom pizza together with Fresh-Pressed Beetroot liquid or Wild Berry Fusion from the Forest.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas, featuring ingredients like shrimp or clams, are best accompanied by crisp juices that embody mineralistic qualities. A citrus medley introduces refreshing characteristics that accentuate the flavors of the seafood, while bright tangy layers serve to lighten the entire dining experience. Sea buckthorn is another appropriate selection, its high acidity and exotic nuances coupled with a restrained tartness ensure seafood’s delicacy isn’t overshadowed.
Our top pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood delicacy is perfectly complemented by our Citrus Explosion or Organic Sea Buckthorn Ambrosia.
Vegetable Supreme Pizza: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Juice
Veggie-centric pizzas with their assortment of tastes are enhanced by adaptable juices with notes of herbs. A green detox blend, containing ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple, mirrors and elevates the flavors of ingredients such as bell peppers and artichokes. Meanwhile, cucumber melon juice provides a subtle crispness and a light composition that suits the varied textures of the vegetables without dominating them.
Our top pick: Our Vegetable Harvest pizza is in perfect sync with our Daily Green Purifier or Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza: Creamy Almond or Fizzy Apple
The opulent nature of a four-cheese pizza suits both compatible and contrasting drink pairings. A creamy almond juice chimes in with nutty undertones that amplify the cheese blend’s similar traits. Alternatively, opt for an effervescent apple juice whose bubbles and tartness slice through the cheese’s creaminess, offering a fruity contrast to balance the savoriness.
Our top pick: Our Four Cheese offering blends delightfully with our Smooth Vanilla Almond mix or a Fizzy Orchard Apple sensation.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Zesty Ginger Turmeric
Spicy pizzas, whether they come with hot sausage or a fiery glaze, are nicely offset by either cooling or vibrant juices. A mango lassi provides chill relief, its creamy texture soothing the palate in between spicy mouthfuls. Conversely, ginger turmeric juice assertively complements the heat while offering an intriguing flavor variance and healthful benefits.
Our top pick: Our Fiery Inferno pizza pairs exceptionally well with our House-Made Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Fusion.
End-of-meal Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate-infused Almond Juice
For the more daring who are willing to sample our dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruit, delectably sweet juices are a must. Mixed berry smoothies marry well with pizzas crowned with fruit, while a chocolate almond mix is an impeccable match for those featuring chocolate and hazelnut. The essential factor is to provide a drink with sweetness matching or exceeding that of the dessert.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Sweet Pizza is divinely partnered with our Triple Berry Explosion or Luxurious Dark Chocolate Almond liquid.
Guidance on Matching Pizza with Juice
- Contemplate the principal taste on the pizza, rather than simply the crust or sauce
- Juices with a high acidity typically pair well with tomato-centric pizzas, given the natural tartness of tomatoes

- Keep an open mind to experimentation—surprising matches sometimes generate the most lasting impressions
