UNO Pizzeria & Grill closes three longtime Massachusetts locations
The Dedham, Revere, and Braintree restaurants shut their doors after more than three decades, citing rising costs and shifting dining habits.
UNO Pizzeria & Grill has closed its locations in Dedham, Revere, and Braintree after more than three decades in business, according to announcements posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page.
The three locations closed on Sunday, Jan. 11. The Dedham location had served the community for 37 years, Revere for 34 years, and Braintree for 33 years.
“It’s been an incredible journey, Dedham,” the company wrote in a Facebook post announcing the location’s closure. “We would like to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has made this restaurant feel like home for over three decades. It’s been an unforgettable run.”

Similar messages were shared for the Revere and Braintree locations, thanking customers for decades of support and inviting them to visit other UNO restaurants in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Outside of Massachusetts, the company also closed its last remaining Rhode Island location in the city of Warwick.
The closures come after the company reviewed its restaurant lineup. In a statement sent to MassLive, a company spokesperson said UNO Restaurants “made a strategic decision to close a few long-standing but underperforming restaurants.”
“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 said. “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.”
