Although soda is often the classic drink with pizza, juice lovers understand that a thoughtful pairing can transform the meal. At Basil & Brick Pizzeria, we teamed up with nearby specialists to craft juice-match ideas tailored to our menu. Whether you’re eating in or taking your order to go, these picks will guide you to the ideal juice for any pizza style.
Classic Margherita: Tomato-Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita—fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—shines with a drink that respects its subtlety. Tomato-basil juice delivers zesty acidity that echoes the tomatoes and has enough backbone for the cheese. Or choose a lighter pomegranate mix, whose refined red-fruit tones lift the tomato’s sweetness and play nicely with the herbal basil.
Our top pick: We like our Margherita alongside the house Tomato Basil Cooler, or, for a sweeter option, a locally sourced Pomegranate-Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat-Heavy Pies: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pies piled with cured meats—pepperoni, sausage, prosciutto—benefit from fuller, spiced juices. Spiced cherry brings jammy fruit and a subtle pepper kick that meets salty, spicy toppings head-on. Blackcurrant is a great swap, offering dark-berry depth and a tangy edge that refreshes the palate.
Our top suggestion: Guests rave about pairing our Meat Feast with the house Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Woodland Berry
Earthy, umami-driven mushroom and truffle pizzas pair well with juices that echo those tones. Beetroot provides gentle earthiness and a touch of sweetness to round the richness. A woodland berry blend also excels, with layered fruit notes that harmonize with the pizza’s soil-like depth.
What we recommend: Match our Wild Mushroom pie with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
When toppings include prawns, clams, or other seafood, look for bright, clean juices with a hint of minerality. A citrus blend refreshes and lifts the seafood, adding lively accents. Sea buckthorn is equally strong, bringing brisk acidity, gentle tropical tones, and a fine tartness that respects delicate textures.
Our pick: Our Mediterranean Seafood pie shines with Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber-Melon
Veggie-forward pies feature diverse flavors that pair with flexible, herb-leaning juices. A green detox blend—spinach, celery, apple—mirrors and amplifies bell peppers, artichokes, and more. Cucumber-melon brings cool freshness and a gentle profile that complements mixed vegetable textures.
Our recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza sings with Daily Green Detox or the Chilled Cucumber-Melon Refresh.
Four-Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pie’s opulence invites a match or a foil. Creamy almond milk echoes nutty nuances in the cheese mix. For contrast, choose sparkling apple juice—its bubbles and bright acidity refresh the palate, while crisp fruit notes offset the savory depth.
Our serving suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi pairs beautifully with Vanilla Almond Milk or the Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger-Turmeric
For pies with chili flakes, fiery sausage, or hot honey, creamy or zesty drinks bring balance. Mango lassi chills the palate, with a smooth texture that comforts between bites. Ginger–turmeric juice handles heat well and adds a lively contrast along with soothing properties.
Our go-to: Our Spicy Diavola meets its match in the Homemade Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger-Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate-Almond
If you’re diving into our Nutella and fruit dessert pies, you’ll want sweeter drinks. Mixed berry smoothies flatter fruit-topped slices, while chocolate-almond milk is sublime with chocolate-hazelnut combos. Aim for a beverage that’s at least as sweet as the dessert.
Our favorite match: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is delightful with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pairing Pizza and Juice
- Focus on the main flavor of the pizza, not only the crust or sauce
- Bright, high-acid juices usually suit tomato-based pies because tomatoes are naturally tart
- Sparkling juices are flexible and pair with most pizzas
- Experiment freely—surprising matches often become the most memorable
At Basil & Brick Pizzeria, we’ve broadened our juice menu to feature many of these combinations. Our team can help you choose an ideal match for your pizza. We also provide juice flights so you can sample three different options with your meal.
Keep in mind: these tips are a starting point, but your taste matters most. The right juice for your pizza is the one you love.
