Minerva Pizza has operated on Union Street in Downtown New Bedford since 1969, building a following around their house-made pizzas and subs. Their signature Minerva Special combines linguica, pepperoni, Italian sausage, meatball, onions, and peppers—a lineup reflecting the area's Portuguese heritage alongside Italian tradition. They also offer chicken variations like Buffalo Chicken and BBQ Chicken pizzas, plus Chicken Cheesesteak Pizza with house-roasted chicken. The kitchen uses fresh ingredients throughout, and pizzas are made daily. They handle delivery and takeout orders, with occasional promotions like their buy-two-get-one-free pizza deal.
