BURLINGTON, MA - Upper Crust Pizzeria is officially set to open its seventh location in Massachusetts right here in Burlington on Monday.

The newest Upper Crust Pizzeria is set to open Monday, April 11 in the Burlington Marketplace on Mall Road.

Company CFO Ben Deb told Burlington Patch last week the decision to open in Burlington was an easy one.

"It’s an up and coming area with lots of develop over there and to be honest, we didn’t see too much pizza there," Deb said. "There's a lot of dine in restaurants, but as far something like our concept maybe one or two in that entire market."

In 2012 and 2013 several of the chain's locations closed after the company faced financial difficulties. At the time company officials filed for bankruptcy protection.

Deb said Upper Crust's new ownership took over in 2013 and they are planning on even more expansion into markets in Greater Boston, Washington D.C. and Metro Los Angeles. Another new location is set to open in D.C. in late April.

Upper Crust Pizzeria has six other locations in Massachusetts: Beacon Hill, Brookline, Cambridge, Lexington, South End and Wellesley, as well as a location in Arlington, VA, Beverly Hills and Washington, D.C.
