While cola and pizza have been long-time partners, those passionate about juice understand that the proper juice match can greatly enhance the pizza experience. At Crust & Craft Pizzeria, in collaboration with connoisseurs, we've devised juice combinations that ideally accentuate the flavors on our menu. Whether enjoying our dishes in-house or at your place, these juice pairings will guide you to the ultimate juice complement for any pizza you prefer.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Mix
The unassuming yet flavorsome Margherita pizza, topped with fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil, requires a juice that will not dominate its gentle taste. A homemade tomato basil juice mirrors the tomato's tang yet has the depth to stand against the mozzarella. In contrast, a pomegranate juice with a light body adds sophisticated red berry flavors that accentuate the sweetness of the tomatoes and the aromatic basil.
Our top choice: Our Margherita pairs exquisitely with our house special Tomato Basil Cooler or, for those who prefer something sweeter, a regionally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Pepperoni and Carnivore’s Delight: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas loaded with hearty meats like salami or bacon demand robust and spicy juices. The Spicy Cherry juice, with its luscious fruit essence and a hint of heat, complements the savory and spicy meat toppings well. On the other hand, Blackcurrant juice provides rich, dark berry flavors and a tart finish that cuts through the meat’s richness.
Our top choice: Patrons particularly relish our home-crafted Spicy Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our overloaded meat pizza.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
A pizza adorned with mushrooms and truffles benefits from beverages that carry earthy tones. Beetroot juice, with its mild earthiness, pairs well with mushrooms, and its innate sweetness counteracts the rich flavors. Meanwhile, a forest berry fusion is an excellent choice due to its complex berry taste that mirrors the earthy pizza.
Our top choice: Our Wild Mushroom pizza marries well with Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a mix of Wild Forest Berries.
Seafood Specialty: Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas with seafood toppings like shrimps or scallops are ideally complemented by lively juices. A citrus mix refreshes the palate and introduces bright notes that balance the meal. Sea buckthorn juice stands out as well for its sharpness, exotic notes, and a tart subtlety that pairs well with delicate seafood tastes.
Our top choice: Our pizza with a medley of Mediterranean seafood goes beautifully with our Citrus Mix or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Extravaganza: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas topped with a variety of vegetables match well with adaptable, herby juices. A green detox concoction with spinach, celery, and apple enhances and complements the vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. Alternatively, a Cucumber Melon juice with its discreet freshness and mild backbone is ideal for the varied textures of the vegetables without being overpowering.
Our top choice: Our bountiful vegetable pizza is perfectly complemented by our Daily Green Detox or a cool Cucumber Melon Refresher.
Quartet of Cheese: Nutty Almond or Fizzy Apple
A rich four-cheese pizza can be paired with contrasting or similar juices. Nutty Almond milk shares complimentary undertones that resonate well with the cheese palette. Otherwise, a bubbling apple beverage cuts through the cheese’s luxuriance with its effervescence and tartness, whilst also adding a sweet contrast.
Our top choice: Our Four Cheese pizza is wonderfully coupled with Vanilla Almond Milk or a Sparkling Apple fizz.
Heated Pizzas: Creamy Mango or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas adorned with hot toppings can be softened by creamy or zesty drinks. A Mango lassi soothes the heat while its silkiness calms between bites. Equally adept is the Ginger Turmeric juice, which not only stands up to spiciness but offers a compelling flavor contrast and health benefits.
Our top choice: Our fiery pizza is well-matched with Homemade Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Pizza Treat: Berry Smoothie or Choco-Almond
For the adventurous who try our sweet pizzas topped with Nutella and fruit, delectably sweet beverages are crucial. Berry Smoothies match well with fruit-topped sweet pizzas whereas a chocolate almond beverage provides a heavenly combination with chocolaty pizzas. Ensure the beverage is as sweet, if not sweeter, than the dessert pizza.
Our top choice: Our pizza topped with Nutella and strawberries is divine with the Triple Berry Blast or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.

- Juices with a high-acid content typically pair well with tomato-based pizzas due to the natural acidity of tomatoes
- Fizzy juices are an adaptable option that can accompany almost any pizza
- Be open to experimenting—often, the most groundbreaking combinations are the most remembered
