Of the specialty pizzas on Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar pizza menu, the Albanian Pizza is the one built almost entirely around vegetables. Here’s exactly what’s on it, and how it stacks up against Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s other specialty pies.
What’s On It
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s menu describes the whole pie as “artichokes, sautéed spinach, and roasted peppers on a hand-tossed pizza crust — a vegetable-forward specialty pizza with bold Mediterranean flavor.” The by-the-slice description fills in the rest of the picture, confirming the pie is finished with mozzarella and tomato sauce under those toppings. So the full build is: hand-tossed crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella, then artichokes, sautéed spinach, and roasted peppers on top.
This guide sticks to what Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s menu actually says about the dish — no claims are made here about Albanian culinary history or regional authenticity, since the menu itself doesn’t make any such claim either. It’s presented as a specialty combination, not a traditional recipe.
What Makes the Flavor Different
Artichokes and roasted peppers both bring a savory, slightly tangy depth, while sautéed spinach adds an earthy, mellow backdrop rather than the sharper bite of raw vegetables. Combined with tomato sauce and mozzarella, the result leans savory and vegetable-heavy rather than sweet or spicy — a different profile than pizzas built around meat, cheese blends, or fruit-forward toppings like the Hawaiian.
Albanian Pizza vs. Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Other Vegetable Pizzas
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Veggie Pizza is the other primarily vegetable-based option on the menu, but the two use different vegetables entirely: Veggie Pizza is topped with onions, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, and tomatoes, while Albanian Pizza uses artichokes, sautéed spinach, and roasted peppers. If you want the more familiar mix, order the Veggie Pizza; if you want something a little different, Albanian Pizza is the less common combination.
By the Slice or Whole Pie
Albanian Pizza is one of the eight pizzas Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar offers by the slice, at $6.00, alongside the $16.00 whole pie.
