While it's common to have beer with your pizza, those who have a passion for Juice know that choosing the right Juice combination can enhance the overall pizza dining experience. At ModularPath, we've teamed up with expert sommeliers to curate a list of Juice pairings that perfectly align with our offerings. Whether you're enjoying a meal in our establishment or indulging in a takeaway at home, these curated pairings will guide you to the ultimate Juice choice for your go-to pizza variety.
Classic Margherita: Non-alcoholic Sangiovese or Non-alcoholic Pinot Noir
The Margherita pizza's classic combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil demands a Juice that subtly complements these refined ingredients. A non-alcoholic medium-bodied Sangiovese displays a vivid acidity that matches well with the tomatoes without overshadowing the delicate cheese. On a different note, a non-alcoholic light-bodied Pinot Noir anchors the tomatoes' sweetness and pairs nicely with the aromatic basil.
Our specific recommendation: We find that our Margherita pairs wonderfully with a non-alcoholic Chianti Classico or similarly, a local option is the non-alcoholic Chapel Down Union Red from Kent.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Non-alcoholic Zinfandel or Non-alcoholic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Meat-heavy pizzas demand non-alcoholic Juices robust enough to balance out the intense taste of cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto. A non-alcoholic American Zinfandel with its bold fruit essence beautifully complements the spiciness and overall richness of the meat toppings. Alternatively, non-alcoholic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo introduces dark fruit flavors and a pleasant finishing taste that can cut through the meaty richness.
Our specific recommendation: Our diners really enjoy the non-alcoholic Ridge Vineyards Three Valleys Zinfandel Blend or Umani Ronchi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with our Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Non-alcoholic Nebbiolo or Non-alcoholic Pinot Noir
The savory qualities of mushrooms and truffles are perfectly matched by Juices that reflect earthy essences. Non-alcoholic Nebbiolo, known for Barolo and Barbaresco, brings with it delicate scents of roses and forest floor, which beautifully marry with the flavors of fungi, while its acidity and dryness slice through any creaminess. An aged non-alcoholic Pinot Noir can also be an exceptional choice, as it develops complementary aromas that truly reflect the pizza's essence.
Our specific recommendation: Consider trying our Wild Mushroom pizza with a non-alcoholic Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo or a non-alcoholic Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir from Oregon.
Seafood Pizza: Non-alcoholic Vermentino or Non-alcoholic Albariño
Pizzas adorned with prawns, clams, or other kinds of seafood pair ideally with crisp white Juices that lend a mineral backbone. Non-alcoholic Vermentino from Sardinia provides a hint of salinity that works to intensify seafood flavors, joined by citrus touches that freshen the overall profile. The Spanish non-alcoholic Albariño is also a top choice, featuring high acidity, peachy nuances, and a touch of salinity that doesn't overshadow the delicate seafood.
Our specific recommendation: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza matches divinely with Pala I Fiori Vermentino di Sardegna or Pazo de Señorans Albariño, both non-alcoholic.
Vegetable Supreme: Non-alcoholic Grüner Veltliner or Non-alcoholic Soave
The symphony of flavors that a vegetable-topped pizza provides pairs excellently with flexible, herbaceous white Juices. Non-alcoholic Austrian Grüner Veltliner is known for its distinct white pepper edge and green notes that echo the vegetable flavors like bell peppers or artichokes. Non-alcoholic Soave from Italy, with its subtle almond undertones, offers a body that can support the myriad of vegetable textures without becoming overpowering.
Our specific recommendation: Our Garden Harvest pizza is in perfect harmony with a non-alcoholic Loimer Grüner Veltliner or Pieropan Soave Classico.
Four Cheese Pizza: Non-alcoholic Chardonnay or Non-alcoholic Lambrusco
The sumptuous taste of a four-cheese pizza suits a Juice that echoes or contrasts this richness. Non-alcoholic lightly oaked Chardonnay brings forward compatible buttery notes that underscore similar qualities in the cheese mixture. Conversely, a non-alcoholic Lambrusco, with its playful bubbles and refreshing character, can cut through the cheese's richness and fruitily accompany the savory notes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza pairs wonderfully with a non-alcoholic Chateau Montelena Chardonnay or Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano in non-alcoholic form.
Spicy Pizzas: Non-alcoholic Riesling or Non-alcoholic Gewürztraminer
For pizzas with chili flakes, spicy sausage, or hot honey, off-dry white Juices provide a cooling sensation. A non-alcoholic German Riesling with a hint of sweetness alleviates the heat, while its acidity delivers refreshment. Non-alcoholic Gewürztraminer, with its distinctive lychee and rose petal aromas and slight sweetness, complements spiciness and provides an intriguing aromatic balance.
Our specific recommendation: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is perfectly matched with a non-alcoholic Dr. Loosen Riesling Kabinett or Domaine Weinbach Gewürztraminer.
Dessert Pizza: Late Harvest Juices or Non-alcoholic Port
For those brave enough to indulge in our Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet Juices are crucial companions. Late harvest whites like a non-alcoholic Sauternes or Tokaji match fruit-topped variations, while non-alcoholic Ruby Port is divine with chocolate and hazelnut options. It's important to ensure the Juice has a sweetness level on par with or higher than the dessert.
Our specific recommendation: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza pairs heavenly with a non-alcoholic Disznókő Tokaji 5 Puttonyos or Graham's Six Grapes Reserve Port.
