You’ve already done the Hulen Blvd run — Target, the grocery store, maybe a stop at Cityview or the mall. By the time the errands are done, no one wants to cook. Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar is right there on your route south, and for families along the Hulen corridor who’ve found it, the post-shopping dinner stop has become a dependable part of the weekend routine.
The Hulen Corridor: Built Around Families
Hulen Boulevard is one of Southwest Fort Worth’s main commercial arteries — a straight run from the I-30 area south through Ridglea, past I-20, and into the residential neighborhoods around Wedgwood and Crowley. Families from Ridglea Hills, the Cityview area, Westcliff, and the neighborhoods along Hulen make this drive constantly for shopping, groceries, and errands. Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar is on that same road, south of where most families finish their shopping run. It makes the dinner decision almost automatic.
One Stop South of Cityview
From the Cityview Shopping Center, take Hulen Boulevard south past I-20 into the Wedgwood neighborhood. Joe’s at 5440 Gran Via St is roughly 10 to 14 minutes from the Cityview area — the kind of drive families are already making on that side of town. The restaurant is open from 11:00 AM daily, with free parking on-site. No reservation needed, though the kitchen can accommodate larger parties with a call ahead at (817) 945-1765.
Large groups welcome: Joe’s accommodates family-sized tables and has a full bar. Planning for more than six? Call ahead: (817) 945-1765. See the parties and events page for larger group options.
A Full Italian Menu for a Table That Can’t Agree
Pizza is the starting point — New York-style, hand-tossed, available by the slice or whole pie. But the full menu at Joe’s runs considerably deeper: baked lasagna, cannelloni, fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti Bolognese, baked ziti, calzones, and stromboli for the pasta crowd. Chicken entrees and seafood for the table members who don’t want pizza. Salads for anyone keeping it light. Desserts to close it out. There’s something for everyone — which matters when the table is a family with competing opinions.
The dinner specials are worth noting for first-timers: the Italian Sampler ($18.00) is the best single plate for someone who wants to understand what the kitchen is capable of. The Chicken and Shrimp Classic ($22.00) and the Salmon Arrabiata ($22.00) cover the adults who want something beyond pasta. A full bar rounds out the dine-in experience for the grown-ups at the table.
Pickup on the Way Home from Hulen
Two large 1-topping pizzas for $25 — call ahead from the Hulen or Cityview area, place the order, and pick up on the way home through Wedgwood. Online ordering is available through DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, and Slice. See all current coupons and takeout deals before you order.
