While carbonated drinks have traditionally been pizza's go-to partner, those passionate about juice understand that a well-chosen juice combination can take a pizza meal to the next level. At TerraFrame, we've worked with culinary connoisseurs to curate a list of juice suggestions that perfectly match our pizzas. Whether you're savoring our pies at our establishment or in the comfort of your home, our guidance will assist you in discovering the ideal juice to accompany your preferred type of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza's straightforward ingredients—ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—demand a juice that enhances without dominating these subtle tastes. A freshly made tomato basil juice offers a complementary acidity to the tomatoes while holding its own against the cheese. Alternatively, a lighter pomegranate juice adds a graceful touch of red fruit that harmonizes with the tomato's sweetness and the basil's freshness.
Our specific suggestion: We recommend pairing our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a hint of sweetness, a regionally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas covered with cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto require juices with a solid presence and spiciness to match their intense flavors. A Spiced cherry juice delivers a deep fruit flavor with a spicy kick that matches well with the salty and spicy taste of meat toppings. On the other hand, blackcurrant juice presents deep, dark fruit notes with an appealingly sour edge that balances the meats' savoriness.
Our specific suggestion: Our patrons especially enjoy our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our Meat Lovers' pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The savory depth of mushrooms and truffles pairs well with juices that have earthy undertones. Beetroot juice delivers understated earthy tastes that blend superbly with the flavor of mushrooms. Its innate sweetness also helps mitigate the richness. A forest berry combination is also delightful, as it develops intricate berry undertones that reflect the pizza's earthiness.
Our specific suggestion: Experience our Wild Mushroom pizza with Freshly-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Forest Berry Mix.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
For pizzas adorned with seafood like prawns or clams, sharp juices with a mineral flavor are excellent pairings. A citrus blend is perfect for bringing out the seafood's flavors, with bright accents that lighten the whole palate. Sea buckthorn juice, with its vibrant acidity and exotic notes, is another brilliant choice that subtlety complements the seafood without overpowering it.
Our specific suggestion: Our signature Mediterranean Seafood pizza matches wonderfully with our Citrus Blend or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-heavy pizzas have a range of flavors that are enhanced by juices with herby notes. A green juice featuring spinach, celery, and apple reflects and augments the tastes of peppers, artichokes, and additional veggies. The gentle essence and light body of cucumber melon juice provide a balanced freshness without overshadowing the myriad textures of the vegetables.
Our specific suggestion: Our Garden Delight pizza is perfectly complimented by our Daily Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Chiller.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Fizzy Apple
The decadence of a four-cheese pizza requires a beverage that either complements or contrasts it. Creamy almond milk brings out the nutty flavors in the cheese mix while sparkling apple juice, with its bubbliness and tartness, cuts through the cheese's richness and offers a pleasing contrast to the umami flavors.
Our specific suggestion: Our Quattro Formaggi is divine when served with Smooth Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Zest.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Smoothie or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas that boast chili, spicy sausage, or zesty sauces, juices that are either creamy or have a spicy note offer respite. A mango smoothie calms the taste buds, while the smooth texture alleviates the heat between each bite. A ginger turmeric juice can also stand up to the spiciness, providing an exciting contrast in flavor along with healthful benefits.
Our specific suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pizza is complemented delightfully by our Homemade Mango Smoothie or Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Puree or Chocolate Almond
For those intrigued by Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, sweet beverages are indispensable. A berry puree smoothie pairs well with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond drink is a heavenly match with chocolate and hazelnut combinations—it's critical that the drink is sweet enough to contend with the dessert itself.
Our specific suggestion: Our Nutella and Berry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when accompanied by a Mixed Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Advice for Pairing Pizza with Juice
- Focus on the pizza's prevailing flavors, rather than just the crust or sauce alone.
- Acidic juices typically pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the inherit acidity of tomatoes.

- Be bold in your experimentation—unexpected combinations can often yield the most exciting taste experiences.
