Every pizza on Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar pizza menu starts with the same hand-tossed crust, but not every pizza gets the same tomato sauce. White pizza skips it entirely. Here’s what that actually means, and how Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar in Fort Worth builds its version.
No Sauce, More Cheese
The one thing that defines white pizza across pizzerias generally is the absence of red sauce. In its place, the crust is typically topped directly with cheese — often a mix of mozzarella and ricotta — sometimes with garlic, and occasionally with other toppings such as vegetables or chicken, depending on the pizzeria. Without tomato sauce providing moisture and acidity, the cheese and any oil or garlic have to do more of the work, which is why white pizza tends to taste richer and more concentrated than a red-sauce pie of the same size.
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s White Pizza — $13.00
Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar keeps its White Pizza simple: creamy ricotta and mozzarella infused with fresh garlic on a hand-tossed pizza crust — no tomato sauce, all richness. It’s built around just three elements — ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic — rather than a longer topping list, which keeps the focus on the cheese itself. It’s currently offered as a whole pie rather than by the slice.
How It Compares to Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Other Pizzas
Most of the pizza menu builds on the same house tomato sauce — Cheese Pizza, Hawaiian, Veggie, and the specialty pies all use it as a base. White Pizza is the exception, along with the Margherita Pizza in a different way — the Margherita uses fresh tomatoes directly rather than a cooked sauce. If you want to taste the difference sauce makes, ordering a White Pizza next to a classic Cheese Pizza is a direct comparison.
