Despite the traditional tie of soda to pizza, those who savor juices understand that an apt juice blend can transform a pizza dining experience. At RidgePortal, in collaboration with culinary experts, we've designed juice pairings that harmonize seamlessly with our menu offerings. Whether savoring our cuisine in-house or in the comfort of your abode, these pairings will guide you to the ideal juice to accompany your pizza of choice.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mixture
A Margherita's classic blend of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil demands a juice that doesn't dominate these subtle tastes. A self-made tomato basil juice mirrors the tomato's brightness and stands firm against the mozzarella. As another option, a light pomegranate mix introduces sweet red fruit tones that highlight the tomato sweetness and match the basil's aroma.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita pairs excellently with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, for those who favor sweetness, an area-sourced Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Meaty Pepperoni and Fans of Meat: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Hearty pizzas adorned with cured meats such as pepperoni demand juices with enough depth and zest to contend with the vigorous taste profiles. A spicy cherry juice, with its fruity essence and piquant edge, aligns perfectly with the meats’ salinity and heat. A blackcurrant juice alternative offers full-bodied dark berry tastes and a crisply tart finish that slices through the meat's richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our carnivore patrons particularly relish our homemade Spicy Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme accompanying our Meat Feast selection.
Fungi and Truffle Diamond: Beetroot or Berry of the Forest
The nuanced, savory elements of mushrooms and truffles seek juices bearing similar essence. Juice derived from beetroot suggests subtle earthy hues aligning with the mushrooms, with its innate sweetness cutting through the savory depths. Likewise, a forest berry blend sings with complex berry accents that are reminiscent of the umami from the pizza.
Our specific recommendation: Experience our Wild Mushroom specialty alongside Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Assortment.
Oceanic Pizza: Citrus Assortment or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-adorned pizzas aspire to crisp, minerally juices. A citrus concoction offers zestful qualities that bolster seafood's flavors with lively, lightening notes. Sea buckthorn is yet another superior option due to its high acidity, exotic flair, and mild tanginess that doesn't overshadow the seafood's delicacy.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood Pizza is elevated when paired with our invigorating Citrus Assortment or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Treat.
Veggie Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas crowned with vegetables flourish alongside versatile juices with herb-like inflections. Green detox juice featuring spinach, celery, and apples amplifies and complements the tastes of bell peppers and artichokes among other veggies. A cucumber melon juice offers a subtle and gentle body that gracefully supports the varied textures of vegetables without commanding the palate.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its counterpart in our Daily Green Cleanse or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quartet of Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Fizzy Apple
A pizza boasting four cheeses either requires a juice that complements or contrasts. A silky almond milk matches with its nutty undertones, enriching the composite flavors of cheese. In contrast, a fizzy apple juice, with its sparkles and acidity, slices through the dense cheese mixture, and its apple tones offer a delightful polarity to the savory dairy.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi thrives paired with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Fizzy Apple Thriller.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas dressed with chili, spicy sausage, or zestful honey marry well with creamy or fiery juices that mitigate the heat. Mango lassi affords a cooling effect amid its creamy consistency that caresses the palate between bites. Juice activated with ginger and turmeric surpasses in facing the zest, providing an enthralling flavor contrast with added health benefits.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza meets its match in our Artisan Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the adventurous consuming Nutella and fruit-topped dessert pizzas, sweet juices are quintessential. Smoothies based on mixed berries suit fruit-layered dessert pizzas, while a chocolate almond blend pairs divinely with chocolate and hazelnut blends, ensuring that the beverage sweetness rivals that of the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when coupled with our Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
