Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar has three specialty pizzas built around feta cheese and Peperoncino peppers, and the Mediterranean Pizza is the one with chicken as its protein. Here’s exactly what’s on it, and how it compares to the other two.
What’s On It
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s menu describes the Mediterranean Pizza as: “chicken, spinach, feta, onions, tomatoes, and Peperoncino peppers over garlic on a hand-tossed pizza crust — bright, fresh Mediterranean flavors.” That's a longer topping list than most of Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s specialty pies — six distinct ingredients over a garlic base, rather than a sauce.
As with Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s other Mediterranean-inspired pizzas, this guide sticks to the menu’s own description. No claims are made here about regional authenticity or traditional preparation — the menu itself frames it as an original combination, not a specific regional recipe.
What Makes the Flavor Different
Chicken gives the Mediterranean Pizza a protein-forward character that Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s other feta-based pizzas don’t have. Fresh onions and tomatoes add brightness and acidity, spinach adds an earthy note, and feta and Peperoncino peppers bring the same tangy, salty edge found across Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Mediterranean-style pies. Garlic under everything, instead of tomato sauce, keeps the whole pizza savory rather than sweet.
Mediterranean Pizza vs. Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Other Feta Pizzas
Three of Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s specialty pizzas share a feta-and-Peperoncino foundation, but each takes it a different direction:
- Mediterranean Pizza ($16.00) — chicken, spinach, onions, tomatoes, feta, Peperoncino peppers, over garlic.
- Grecian Pizza ($15.00) — house-made meatballs, feta, ricotta, Peperoncino peppers. See the Grecian Pizza guide.
- Albanian Pizza ($16.00) — artichokes, sautéed spinach, roasted peppers, no feta. See the Albanian Pizza guide.
If you want chicken as the main protein, Mediterranean is the one to order. If you want meatballs, Grecian is the choice; if you want a fully vegetable-based pie, Albanian fits best.
