While fizzy drinks are traditionally seen as pizza's go-to partner, those who love juice understand that the correct fruit or vegetable juice can take the pizza-eating experience to another level. At HarborBluff, working with local connoisseurs, we have devised a selection of juice combinations that are the perfect accompaniment to our pizzas. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our eatery or at home with our delivery service, these curated pairings will help you select the supreme juice for your pizza preference.
Time-honored Margherita: Tomato Basil Fusion or Pomegranate Mix
The unadorned beauty of the Margherita, adorned with ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil, demands a juice that doesn't overshadow its subtle qualities. A homemade tomato basil concoction provides a vibrant tang matching the pizza’s tomato, balanced by a solid background to accompany the cheese. On the other hand, a lighter pomegranate mix is characterized by soft red fruit tones that bring out the tomato's natural sweetness and pairs well with the basil’s aromatic profile.
Our suggested choice: Our beloved Margherita is delightful with our exclusive Tomato Basil Chiller or, for a touch of sweet, a locally obtained Pomegranate Blueberry potion.
Hearty Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Rich Blackcurrant
Heavy pizzas adorned with cured meats such as pepperoni or sausages demand a juice with substantial body and a kick of spice. Spicy cherry juice is excellent with its luscious fruit essence and a hint of heat that contrasts the salty and spicy toppings. Blackcurrant juice, presenting deep dark fruit notes and a tart aftertaste, slices through the meaty richness effectively.
Our suggested choice: Patrons particularly relish our crafted Spiced Cherry Potion or Organic Blackcurrant Royale coupled with our Meat Extravaganza pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Berries of the Forest
Pizzas featuring rich earthy mushrooms and truffles pair well with juices that share earthy undertones. Beetroot juice, with its subtle soil-like scent, is a natural complement to the umami found in fungi. The inherent sweetness also counterbalances the pizza's savoriness. Meanwhile, a forest berry composite with layered berry notes reflects the pizza's earthy depth.
Our suggested choice: Our Earthy Mushroom pizza is exquisitely complemented by Freshly Pressed Beetroot Nectar or Wild Berries of the Forest Fusion.
Seafood Specialty: Zesty Citrus or Tart Sea Buckthorn
Seafood pizzas, which may include delicacies like prawns or clams, benefit from crisp, refreshing juices. A mixed citrus juice invigorates the innate flavors of seafood and introduces a light zest to the combination. Sea buckthorn is another stellar option with its vibrant acidity, exotic essence, and just-right sourness that won’t overshadow the seafood’s delicate taste.
Our suggested choice: Our Coastal Delight pizza goes magnificently with our Zesty Citrus Wave or Organic Sea Buckthorn Bliss.
Garden Variety Supreme: Verdant Detox or Cool Cucumber Melon
Pizzas laden with an assortment of vegetables resonate with the herbal notes of versatile juices. A green detox potion consisting of spinach, celery, and apple reflects and enhances the varied flavors of bell peppers and artichokes. In contrast, cucumber melon juice offers a gentle coolness and buoyant texture that navigates different vegetable flavors without dominating.
Our suggested choice: Our Green Harvest pizza forms a perfect symphony with our Signature Green Detox or Refreshing Cucumber Melon Concoction.
Quadruple Cheese Indulgence: Smooth Almond or Effervescent Apple
A decadent four-cheese pizza welcomes either a complementary or contrasting beverage. Smooth almond milk, with its nutty undertones, aligns with the cheese's richness, while an effervescent apple drink cuts through the creamy texture with its vivacity and tart fruit quality.
Our suggested choice: Our Four-Cheese Delicacy is marvelously paired with our Vanilla Almond Dream or Bubbling Apple Purity.
Fiery Pizza Creations: Soothing Mango Lassi or Zingy Ginger Turmeric
For those who love their pizzas with a dash of heat, creamy or zesty juices make for a welcoming reprieve. Mango lassi provides a cooling effect, while at the same time, its smoothness is comforting. On the other hand, Ginger turmeric with its robust flavors stands strong against the spiciness and adds an engaging contrast in taste along with health benefits.
Our suggested choice: The fiery kick of our Spicy Diavola pizza is tamed perfectly by our Handcrafted Mango Lassi or our Energetic Ginger Turmeric Infusion.
Dessert Pizza Dream: Berry Fusion Smoothie or Chocolate Almond Indulgence
For those bold enough to indulge in dessert pizzas, such as our creations topped with Nutella and fruits, a sweet drink is essential. A mixed berry smoothie goes hand in hand with fruity dessert pizzas, and a luscious chocolate almond milk is the ideal match for chocolate-hazelnut creations. The balance between the sweetness of the drink and dessert is key.
Our suggested choice: Our Nutella and Strawberry Delight pizza is divinely matched with a Berry Explosion Smoothie or Luxurious Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Advice for Selecting Juice with Your Pizza
- Base your selection on the prominent flavors of the pizza, not just the crust or sauce types
- Juices high in acidity are a safe bet with tomato-based pizzas, as the acidic profiles pair well
- Bubbly juices are flexible options that can accompany almost any pizza variety
- Keep an open mind with your choices—sometimes the most unlikely partners yield a memorable encounter

We also feature juice tasting sets, allowing customers to sample an assortment of three different juices with their meals.
