Fettuccine is the pasta shape Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar builds the most cream-sauce variety around — seven dishes, almost all rooted in a house-made Alfredo base, each pushed in a different direction. Here’s what actually separates them.
The Alfredo Foundation
Four of the seven fettuccine dishes are built directly on Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s house-made Alfredo — butter, cream, and Parmesan:
- Fettuccine Alfredo ($14.00) — the plain version, simple and satisfying.
- Fettuccine with Chicken ($16.00) — Alfredo sauce topped with grilled chicken breast.
- Fettuccine with Mushrooms ($16.00) — Alfredo cream sauce tossed with sautéed mushrooms.
- Fettuccine with Shrimp ($18.00) — Alfredo cream sauce tossed with succulent shrimp.
Same sauce base across all four; the price and character shift with what’s added — chicken, mushrooms, or shrimp.
Beyond Alfredo
Fettuccine Carbonara — $17.00
Tossed with savory bacon and sautéed onions in a creamy carbonara sauce — a different sauce family from the Alfredo dishes, built around bacon rather than butter and cream alone.
Fettuccine Florentine — $20.00
Shrimp and crabmeat sautéed with fresh spinach over fettuccine — the only fettuccine dish with two seafood proteins and a vegetable (spinach) built into the base preparation rather than as a single add-on.
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Fettuccine Alfredo — $22.00
The signature customizable version: a house-made cream sauce with your choice of chicken, crab, shrimp, or mushrooms. It’s the most expensive fettuccine dish and the only one where you pick the protein yourself.
