Bertucci's Beverly, Marlboro Restaurants Among Those Shutting Down

BEVERLY, MA — Fans of brick-oven pizza in Beverly and Marlboro will have to take a little farther drive to enjoy their favorite pies after those two Bertucci's Restaurant locations were among those that closed as the Somerville-born chain filed for bankruptcy.

The two locations were removed from Bertucci's website as of Wednesday morning with Beverly Bertucci's Facebook page listing the location as "permanently closed." Locations in Brockton, Caton and North Attleboro were also reportedly closed.

The closings leave 20 Massachusetts locations of the national chain that originated in Davis Square in Somerville in 1981.

Those on the North Shore can still visit locations in Peabody and Swampscott, while MetroWest locations remain in Framingham, Holliston and Westboro.

The chain, which is now based in Northboro, filed bankruptcy in Florida this week. This is its second bankruptcy filing — having also done so in 2018 when it then closed 15 restaurants.
