New Bedford's Jimmy's Pizza Serves Sinfully Tasty Dessert Pizzas

The recent addition of decadent dessert pizzas has captured the imagination of patrons old and new.

Introducing the Apple Strudel and Peach Nutella pizzas, masterfully crafted by DaSilva himself.

Drawing inspiration from his culinary adventures in southern pizza joints, the Apple Strudel pizza is bursting with a symphony of flavors: rich notes of brown sugar, crisp apples, cinnamon and butter, all crowned with a luscious drizzle of sweet icing.

The Peach Nutella pizza elevates the dessert experience to new heights, swapping the traditional pizza sauce base for creamy Nutella, and topped with succulent peaches. It's a harmonious blend of fruity freshness and decadent chocolate hazelnut goodness.

When asked about future additions to the dessert menu, Luis DaSilva teased a creation featuring banana and custard, also drizzled with Nutella — a promise of another irresistible pie in the making.

As the South End evolves, Jimmy’s remains a strong family-owned fixture in New Bedford's business community.

Whether you’re a long-time patron or a first-time visitor, one thing is certain: a slice of history and a taste of the future await you at Jimmy’s Pizza on Brock Avenue.

The Best of South Shore Bar Pizza

There's pizza, and then there's South Shore Bar Pizza. Birthed in Brockton (and to this writer, perfected in Randolph – Lynwood Café is the true G.O.A.T.), it must meet certain qualifications to be considered "SSBP," which include: it's a 10-inch pie; it has a thin, cracker-like crust with minimal "flop;" the cheese is a blend that features more cheddar than mozzarella; and bonus points if you take it home between two carboard-type plates wrapped in flat brown paper bag. They also usually come with "laced" or "burnt" edges (terminology depends on where you are ordering), which is when the sauce and cheese are extended all the way to the edge of the pan, creating a crispy, flavorful coating to the crust. We reached out to the hugely popular South Shore Bar Pizza Social Club Facebook group to ask the experts to share the best of the best (in no particular order).
