Traditionally, soda is seen as the go-to drink with pizza, but those who love juice understand that an aptly chosen juice can enhance a pizza meal in extraordinary ways. CopperFieldLab has teamed up with local connoisseurs to recommend juice pairings that perfectly match our array of pizzas. Whether you're indulging in our cozy eatery or savoring your meal at home, these pairings will help you select the ideal juice to accompany your preferred pizza variant.
For the Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza, with its luscious tomatoes, silky mozzarella, and aromatic basil, needs a juice that doesn't overshadow these subtle tastes. Tomato basil juice brings a zesty tanginess that echoes the tomato, while also having a robust presence to balance the mozzarella's flavor. On the other hand, a gentle pomegranate blend introduces refined notes of red fruit that both sweeten the tomato's taste and harmonize with the fresh basil.
Our top pick: Our in-house Tomato Basil Cooler and a locally produced Pomegranate Blueberry blend make excellent companions for our Margherita pizza.
For the Meat Connoisseur: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas adorned with pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto crave juices that can handle intense flavors. A spiced cherry juice brings a rich, fruity essence with a hint of pepper that goes well against the savory and spicy elements of the meat. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice offers a mellow yet tart taste, balancing well with the meat's richness.
Our choice recommendation: The Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme from our kitchen are favorites with our Meat Feast pizza.
For Mushroom and Truffle Aficionados: Beetroot or Forest Berry
The distinctive umami flavors of mushrooms and truffles go hand in hand with drinks that share earthy notes. A beetroot juice, with its slight earthiness, is a perfect match for mushroom flavors, with a natural sweetness that provides a counterbalance. A juice blend from forest berries also shines, bringing a complexity that reflects the pizza's earthy taste.
Our special recommendation: Opt for pairing our Wild Mushroom pizza with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
For Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Seafood-topped pizzas pair well with clean, mineral-like juices. A citrus blend refreshes and enhances the seafood's natural taste, while the brightness adds a light contrast. Sea buckthorn juice, with its pronounced acidity and slight tropical nuance, is an outstanding alternative that doesn't overpower the taste of seafood.
Our specific suggestion: Try our Mediterranean Seafood pizza with a Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
For the Vegetarian Selection: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-covered pizzas have a variety of tastes that suit flexible, herb-like juices. A green detox juice with elements like spinach, celery, and apple reinforces the vegetables' flavors, while a blend of cucumber and melon adds a subtle coolness suitable for the diverse textures without overpowering them.
Our recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is beautifully paired with the Daily Green Detox or a refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon blend.
For the Four Cheese Pizza: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
A four-cheese pizza, laden with richness, demands a juice that either complements it or provides a stark contrast. Creamy almond milk introduces a nutty flavor that matches well with the cheesy blend, whereas a sparkling apple juice brings a fizzy tartness that cuts through the richness and presents a delicious contrast to the savory cheese.
Our bespoke pairing: We suggest enjoying our Quattro Formaggi pizza with Vanilla Almond Milk or with a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
For Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas with a kick, like those with chili flakes, hot sausage, or spicy honey, juices that are creamy or have a spicy note offer soothing relief. A mango lassi calms the firing taste buds with its creamy texture between spicy bites, while ginger turmeric juice stands up well against the heat, providing a captivating flavor contrast plus health benefits.
Our fitting match: A Homemade Mango Lassi or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost complements our Spicy Diavola pizza perfectly.
For Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For those who enjoy our sweet pizzas with Nutella and fruit, choosing a sweet juice is key. Berry smoothies work well with fruit-covered dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond milk could be divine alongside chocolate-hazelnut variations. It's important to ensure that the juice is on par with or sweeter than the dessert component itself.
Our delightful pairing: The Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza goes divinely with a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Advice for Pairing Juice with Pizza

- High-acid juices tend to complement tomato-based pizzas because of the tomatoes' innate acidity
- Sparkling juices are adaptable options that are suitable for most pizza types
- Be bold in experimentation—unexpected combinations can yield the most exceptional dining experiences
