Traditional pizza beverages like soda are well-known, but for those who prefer juice, finding the perfect juice to accompany pizza can enhance the dining experience immensely. Dough Maestro's Pizzeria has joined forces with nearby connoisseurs to curate juice combinations that pair with our pizzas flawlessly. These pairings are ideal for your restaurant visit or home indulgence, guiding you to the ideal juice selection for your chosen pizza.
Simple Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Fusion
A classic Margherita pizza, with its subtle flavors of fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil, deserves a juice that can match its delicacy without overwhelming it. A tomato basil concoction is ideal for echoing the pizza's acidity while standing up to the mozzarella. A gentle pomegranate juice also provides pleasant red fruit notes that can enhance and marry well with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the nuanced flavors of the basil.
Our top pick: Our Margherita is a delight when combined with our own Tomato Basil Delight or, if you prefer something on the sweeter side, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend from local sources.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Selection
For toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto which are rich in flavor, choose a juice with a bold body and spice. A spiced cherry juice's jammy taste and peppery kick boldly counterbalance the salty and spicy nature of the meat. A nice alternative could be a blackcurrant juice, providing dark, rustic fruit flavors with a tart edge to slice through the heavy meaty toppings.
Our top pick: Patrons frequently enjoy our own handcrafted Spiced Cherry Fusion or our Organic Blackcurrant Indulgence with our meat-packed pizzas.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot Selection or Berry Forest Medley
For pizzas adorned with the rich, savory taste of mushrooms and truffles, select juices that can offer a similar profile. Beet juice delicately mirrors the earthiness of truffle and mushrooms while balancing their richness with its subtle sweetness. A medley of forest berries also serves well by providing complex berry tones that resonate with the deep, earthy flavors of the pizza.
Our top pick: Sample our Exotic Mushroom pizza alongside our Freshly Squeezed Beet Juice or a Wild Berry Forest Blend.
Seafood Special: Crisp Citrus Mix or Sea Buckthorn Blend
Seafood-themed pizzas like those with prawns or clams match beautifully with zesty juices that bring out the seafood's flavor. A citrus combination provides a refreshing zing that elevates the seafood's palate, while Sea Buckthorn juice offers an excellent balance of high acidity, a tropical vibe, and subtle sharpness that complements the seafood without overshadowing it.
Our top pick: The Citrus Zen or Organic Sea Buckthorn Harmony are sublime companions for our Mediterranean Sea’s Bounty pizza.
Veggie Delight: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Fusion
Oriented towards an array of vegetables, these pizzas crave adaptable, herbal-like juices. A 'green cleanse' elixir comprising spinach, kale, and apple brings out the best in toppings like bell peppers and artichokes. A cucumber melon juice offers a gentle freshness and balance that supports the variety of vegetables without drowning them out.
Our top pick: For an ideal match, pair our Verdant Veggie pizza with our Daily Green Cleanse or a Cool Cucumber Melon Elixir.
Four Cheeses Affair: Non-Dairy Creamy Almond or Effervescent Apple
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza pairs well with a beverage that either complements or balances the heavy cheese flavors. A nutty almond beverage enhances the sumptuous flavor profile, whereas a fizzy apple drink's lightness and zest cut through the cheese's richness, offering a crisp complement.
Our top pick: Try our Four Cheese sensation with a Smooth Almond Drink or our Fizzy Apple Quencher.
For the Fire Eaters: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Creation
For pizzas with a fiery kick from spicy toppings, a cooling or zesty juice can offer solace. Mango lassi has a cooling effect as well as a luxurious texture that provides relief between spicy bites. A juice with ginger and turmeric stands strong against the spice while offering an intriguing taste contrast, coupled with added health benefits.
Our top pick: Our Blazing pizza pairs exceptionally with a Handcrafted Mango Lassi or our Radiant Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Sweet Endings: Berry Mix Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Indulgence
Adventurous dessert pizzas, such as ones with Nutella and fruit, deserve sweet companion drinks. A berry smoothie pairs wonderfully with fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond beverage blissfully complements chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The key is choosing a drink that matches or surpasses the pizza's sweetness.
Our top pick: Our Decadent Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with a Berry Extravaganza Smoothie or a Rich Chocolate Almond Beverage.
Guidance on Pairing Pizza with Juices
- It's important to consider the chief flavor of the pizza rather than focusing solely on the crust or sauce.
- Typically, juices high in acid pair well with tomato-based pizzas, as they share the tomato's innate acidity.
- Sparkling juices offer a flexible choice that generally suits any pizza style.
- Experimentation is encouraged - the most unexpected pairings might yield the most rewarding culinary adventures.

To sweeten the deal, we also feature juice flight options, inviting you to sample a trio of different juices with your meal.
Do remember, though these tips may guide you toward complementary pairings, personal taste prevails over convention. The ultimate juice for your pizza is, simply put, the one you cherish the most.
