Selling Chicago-style pizza outside of Chicago has always been a challenge.
As someone who grew up near Boston, a city with a long tradition of thin-crust pizza from chains like Pizzeria Regina, Papa Gino’s, and Santarpio’s, deep-dish pizza seemed like an entirely different food. It wasn’t something commonly sold during my childhood, and it remains something I never really thought about pizza.
Despite this, Uno Pizzeria, which was known as Pizzeria Uno in the 1980s and 90s, flourished in New England. The chain offered a version of deep-dish pizza that was a take on the Chicago classic, but even closer to traditional pizza.
It was a deep dish, but not as deep as what is traditionally sold under that name. You could eat it with a fork and knife, but you could also pick it up and eat it as a slice.
Uno hasn’t exactly taken over New England, but it has become a steady presence with dozens of locations across the region. That presence has slowly withered as the overall chain has shrunk from more than 150 locations nationwide to just 36 as of February 3, 2026, according to the locations page on the company’s website.
Now, the chain has abruptly closed three more locations in Massachusetts.
Uno Pizzeria has closed locations in Dedham, Revere and Braintree, Mass., without any notice to customers, WCVB in Boston reported.
The chain posted a notice on its Facebook page, which has since been removed.
“After 34 years of serving this amazing community, our Revere location is closing its doors for the last time on Sunday,” the restaurant posted. “We’d like to thank everyone who has made this restaurant feel like home for over three decades. It’s been an unforgettable run!”

Those shutdowns leave just five Massachusetts locations listed on the chain’s website. Two locations are listed for New Hampshire, in Concord and Tilton. No Uno restaurants remain in Rhode Island.
Uno did not return a request for comment from the news station.

Significant reduction in total units: Uno has shrunk in recent years; has closed more than a quarter of its U.S. system in 2024, dropping from about 68 locations to about 53, and continued closings pushed that number lower into 2025, Nation’s Restaurant News (NRN) reported.
