• Uno Pizzeria & Grill closes 3 more Massachusetts locations (wcvb.com) — Uno Pizzeria & Grill has permanently closed its Dedham location, ending local service as part of a broader pullback that also shuttered restaurants in Braintree, Revere, and Warwick, Rhode Island. The chain, now based in nearby Norwood, is down to just five Massachusetts locations, all outside I-495, reflecting a steep nationwide contraction from its peak size.
