Famous deep dish pizza chain closes several ‘underperforming’ New England stores
A national restaurant chain best known for its Chicago-style deep dish pizza has shuttered several "underperforming" stores in New England.
UNO Pizzeria & Grill closed its restaurants in Revere , Dedham and Braintree on Sunday, Jan. 11, according to Facebook posts from the respective locations.
The Braintree location was open for 33 years, the Revere restaurant for 34 years and the Dedham spot for 37 years.
"We would like to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has made this restaurant feel like home for over three decades," each of the posts read. "It's been an unforgettable run!"
"While we're saying goodbye to this location, we'd love to serve you again soon at our area restaurants in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine," the posts read.
After recently evaluating its restaurant roster, UNO Restaurants "made a strategic decision to close a few long-standing but underperforming restaurants," a company spokesperson wrote in a statement sent to MassLive.
"Given market forces such as rising food costs, taxes, rents and labor costs along with consumers changing dining habits, we had to take a hard internal look at all of our locations and close a few locations that were running tight margins," the statement reads. "We are very proud to have multiple locations that have spanned three decades of servicing Massachusetts diners with Deep Dish Pizza and the best food around."
In addition to the Massachusetts spots, UNO Pizzeria & Grill also closed its last remaining location in Rhode Island. The Warwick location of the pizza chain shut down on Sunday as well.
"We have enjoyed being part of this wonderful community and will truly miss the partnerships and friendships we have made over the last 40 years," the restaurant wrote in an Instagram post .
These recent closures come after UNO Pizzeria & Grill closed its location on Boston Road in Springfield in August 2025 , its Nashua, New Hampshire restaurant in February 2025 and its Smithfield, Rhode Island spot in September 2024 .
The company now has five locations left in Massachusetts (Attleboro, Bellingham, Springfield, Sturbridge and Worcester ) as well as two in New Hampshire and two in Maine.
