Though carbonated sodas have historically been the go-to drink for pizza, those who have an affection for juice understand that choosing the right juice can significantly enhance the pizza dining experience. At LynbrookField, we've joined forces with local connoisseurs to develop a specially curated list of juice pairings that are the perfect companions to our pizza selection. These pairings are suited for enjoying whether you visit us or prefer your pizza at home.
Iconic Margherita: Tomato Basil Mixer or Pomegranate Concoction
A Margherita pizza, with its simple ingredients of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, requires a drink that doesn't overshadow these subtle tastes. A fresh-made tomato basil drink provides a vivid tang to match the tomato flavor while giving enough heft to complement the cheese. On another hand, a pomegranate mix introduces a sophisticated berry note that enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and harmonizes with the basil's green notes.
Our top pick: We suggest enjoying our Margherita with our custom-blended Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something on the sweeter side, a local Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Cured Meat Pizzas: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Selection
Pizzas brimming with cured meats like pepperoni and sausage require a beverage with a robust body and a spice kick to match the strong tastes. A tart cherry drink infused with a hint of spice complements the savory and zesty flavors of the cured meats perfectly. Blackcurrant juice is another great option, offering a deep and rustic berry palate along with a tangy finish to cut through the meat's richness.
Our top pick: Our patrons particularly favor our own Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme served alongside our Hearty Meat Feast pizza.
Fungi and Truffle Pizzas: Beetroot Blend or Forest Berry Mix
The distinctive, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffles require beverages with depth. Beetroot juice with its subtly earthy taste pairs beautifully with mushroom flavors, with its innate sweetness balancing the savoriness. A blend of forest berries, too, complements well, offering a richness in taste that mimics the earthiness of the pizza.
Our top pick: The perfect partners for our Earthy Mushroom pizza are our Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Sea-Inspired Pizzas: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn Fusion
Crusts topped with prawns or other ocean delicacies beg for refreshing beverages with a hint of mineral undertone. A citrus concoction can enhance the marine flavors while providing a lively zest to the mix. Sea buckthorn juice offers a winning combination of high acid, a hint of the tropics, and enough of a tart edge to complement but not overpower the gentle seafood.
Our top pick: Savory Seafood pizza is complemented splendidly by our Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Garden Delight Pizzas: Herbal Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Elixir
Pizzas adorned with a colorful array of veggies benefit from juices that have versatile, garden-inspired notes. A detoxifying green juice with ingredients like spinach, celery, and apple echoes the vibrant flavors of garden produce like bells peppers and artichokes. Conversely, a cucumber melon drink imparts a delicate freshness and light texture that doesn't mask the assorted vegetable flavors.
Our top pick: Our Garden Bounty pizza goes seamlessly with Daily Herbal Cleanse or a Chilled Cucumber Melon Elixir.
Cheese-Forward Pizzas: Almond Cream or Effervescent Apple
A pizza blanketed in a quartet of cheeses warrants a drink that either complements or contrasts its richness. An almond milk with a velvety texture brings out the nuttiness in the cheese. Alternatively, a bubbling apple delight acts to slice through the dense cheese with its bright acidity, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the savory profile of the pizza.
Our top pick: Our Four-Cheese Symphony pairs exquisitely with a Creamy Vanilla Almond Beverage or a Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Spicy Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Creation
For pizzas seasoned with a fiery kick from ingredients like chili or spicy cured meat, drinks that are cool and creamy or with a bit of zest offer comforting relief. A mango lassi calms the taste buds while the smooth texture moderates the heat in between bites. A ginger turmeric drink stands up well to the robust flavors, providing an exciting flavor contrast and promoting health with its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our top pick: Our Spicy Diavola pizza meets its match with our in-house Mango Lassi or the invigorating Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Pizzas: Berry Fusion or Chocolate Almond Beverage
For those who indulge in Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet beverages are key. A smoothie made from assorted berries complements the fruit topping, while a chocolate almond drink is a divine pairing for chocolate and hazelnut spreads. The crucial factor is that the drink matches the sugary level of the confection.
Our top pick: Our Nutella and Strawberry Delight is divinely paired with a Berry Blast Smoothie or Luxurious Chocolate Almond Drink.

- Juices high in acidity are generally good matches for tomato-heavy pizzas due to the inherent acidity in tomatoes
