While carbonated drinks have often been pizza's go-to partner, those passionate about juice understand that a carefully selected juice can greatly enhance the pizza eating experience. At UrbanLattice Pizzeria, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we've devised juice suggestions to pair impeccably with our pizza offerings. Whether you're indulging in our restaurant or taking your meal home, these expert recommendations will guide you to an ideal juice for your preferred pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Concoction
A Margherita pizza's simple elegance of garden-fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil deserves a juice that can attend to these finesse-filled flavors. A self-made tomato basil juice brings a lively tang that matches the tomatoes and, at the same time, provides enough boldness to accompany the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate concoction introduces understated red fruit hints that accentuate the tomatoes' sweetness and marry well with the fragrant basil.
Our specific recommendation: Our Margherita is sublime with our custom Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you're in the mood for something more fruit-forward, a locally made Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant Blend
Pizzas brimming with flavor-rich cured meats like pepperoni, sausage, or bacon demand juices with a substantial body and kick to stand against their robust tastes. A spiced cherry juice, with its dense fruit profile and a hint of pepper, complements the meaty toppings' saltiness and zest. Alternatively, a blackcurrant blend with its earthy dark fruit character and satisfyingly sharp finish slices through the meats’ opulence.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly rave about our in-house Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme when enjoying our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot Blend or Forest Berry Fusion
The savory, umami depth of mushrooms and truffle-enhanced pizzas finds its match in juices that hold earthy elements. Beetroot juice presents soft earthy scents that pair effortlessly with mushroom flavors, while its innate sweetness offsets the savoriness. A forest berry fusion also works marvelously, with its layered berry essences reflecting the pizza's inherent earthiness.
Our specific recommendation: Opt for our Wild Mushroom pizza alongside Cold-Pressed Beetroot Blend or Wild Forest Berry Fusion.
Seafood Pizza: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn Elixir
For pizzas adorned with seafood such as shrimp, clams, or other marine delicacies, zesty juices with a touch of minerality make idyllic partners. A citrus medley brings revitalizing features that elevate the seafood's taste while providing zesty overtones that lighten the dish. Sea buckthorn elixir is another prime choice, characterized by its piercing acidity, exotic flavors, and mellow sharpness that collectively do not surpass the seafood's subtle charm.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is complemented exquisitely by our Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Elixir
Veggie-topped pizzas come with a varied flavor profile that can be enhanced by multifaceted, herb-like juices. A green cleanse concoction, featuring spinach, celery, and apple, reverberates and elevates the tastes of bell peppers, artichokes, and other greens. A Cucumber Melon Elixir gives a gentle refreshment and a light structure that supports the diverse veggie textures harmlessly.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in sync with the Daily Green Cleanse or Chilled Cucumber Melon Elixir.
Four Cheese Pizza: Nutty Almond or Sparkling Apple Elixir
The lushness of a four-cheese pizza invites a drink that either complements or contrasts. A velvety almond drink conveys matching nutty notes that resonate with similar characteristics in the cheese medley. For a contrasting option, a gleaming apple elixir—its bubbliness and tartness cut through the creaminess, and its fruity aroma presents a pleasing balance to the savory cheese flavors.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza is delightful with Vanilla Almond Beverage or Sparkling Apple Elixir.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Blend or Ginger Turmeric Potion
For pizzas embellished with hot peppers, spicy meats, or fiery sauces, smooth or warming juices provide a respite. Mango blend mollifies the heat while its smooth texture pacifies the tongue between mouthfuls. The Ginger Turmeric Potion stands up to the spiciness with its arresting flavor profile and offers the added benefit of its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is balanced perfectly with Homemade Mango Blend or Firefly Ginger Turmeric Potion.
Dessert Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Milk
For the daring souls willing to try dessert pizzas like those topped with fruit and chocolate hazelnut spreads, sweet juices are critical. A mixed berry smoothie echoes the topping of fruit-laden dessert pizzas, whereas chocolate almond milk creates a heavenly combination with chocolate-hazelnut variations. The essence is to ensure that the beverage is as sweet or sweeter than the dessert itself.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine with Triple Berry Blend or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Tips for Pairing Juice with Pizza
- Factor in the predominant flavors on the pizza, beyond just the type of crust or sauce.
- Juices high in acidity usually complement tomato-centric pizzas because of tomatoes' inherent tartness.

- Embrace experimentation—unexpected combinations can lead to the most memorable dining encounters.
