Though soda may be seen as the go-to drink for pizza, those who are passionate about juices understand that a well-selected juice can greatly enhance the enjoyment of pizza. Here at CampFieldlane, we've joined forces with regional connoisseurs to offer juice pairings that perfectly accentuate the flavors of our menu. These pairings are ideal whether you're savoring a meal in our eatery or indulging in takeaway.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
The uncomplicated nature of a Margherita pizza, with its blend of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, demands a juice that doesn't overpower the subtlety of these tastes. A homemade tomato basil juice contributes a refreshing acidity to complement the tomatoes, while remaining robust against the cheese. Alternatively, a pomegranate blend can introduce elegant red fruit notes, amplifying the tomato sweetness and the aromatic basil.
Our choice: We favor a combination of our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler, or for a sweeter twist, a locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Protein-laden pizzas like those with pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto need a juice with the depth and pizzazz to compete with their intense flavors. A spiced cherry juice, with its lush fruit and a hint of spice, nicely balances the salt and heat from the meats. Another option is blackcurrant juice, which presents dark fruit flavors and a refreshingly astringent finish that cuts through the meat's fat.
Our choice: Guests often prefer our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or our Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside the Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The deep, savory quality of mushrooms and truffles pairs harmoniously with juices that carry similar undertones. Beetroot juice, with subtle earthiness, is a wonderful match to the fungus flavors, and its sweetness provides a counterbalance to the dish’s richness. Forest berry juice also shines, as it offers a complex berry profile that reflects the earthiness of mushrooms and truffles.
Our choice: Our Wild Mushroom pizza goes splendidly with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas thrive alongside crisp juices that possess a mineral-like quality. A citrus blend refreshes the palate, enhancing the various seafood flavors, while also brightening the overall taste. Sea buckthorn juice, with its bright acidity and subtle tartness, is yet another impeccable match that doesn't overshadow gentle seafood flavors.
Our choice: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is exceptionally complemented by our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered in vegetables benefit from adaptable, herb-flavored juices. Green detox juice, made with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple, stands out and bolsters the flavors of bell peppers, artichokes, and more. Cucumber melon juice, on the other hand, offers a whiff of freshness and a lightness that can stand up to the diverse textures of the vegetables without overpowering them.
Our choice: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its perfect match with Daily Green Detox or Chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza, with its dense richness, can pair well with a bite that either complements or contrasts the flavors. Creamy almond milk aligns well, with nutty undertones that enhance the cheese's profile. By contrast, a sparkling apple juice can slice through the heaviness with its fizz and tartness, providing a fruity balance to the savory cheeses.
Our choice: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is a delightful companion to Vanilla Almond Milk or Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas accented with chili, spicy sausage, or heated honey, juices that are creamy or carry a hint of warmth offer a pleasant respite. The cooling effect of a mango lassi, alongside its rich texture, provides comfort between fiery mouthfuls. Ginger turmeric juice stands equally strong against the spice, providing an engaging contrast in flavors and offering anti-inflammatory properties.
Our choice: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly complemented by Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those ready to delve into dessert pizzas like our Nutella and fruit varieties, a sweet beverage is indispensable. A mixed berry smoothie aligns with fruity dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk creates a divine complement to chocolate-hazelnut variations. Ensuring the beverage matches or exceeds the dessert in sweetness is key.
Our choice: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs divinely with Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
