8 things to know: Pizza, Italian food chain files for third bankruptcy

In April 2025, Bertucci's, a New England Italian pizza chain, shut down five of its restaurants across Massachusetts—including sites in towns such as Norwood, Braintree, Mansfield, North Andover, and Plymouth—amid ongoing bankruptcy filings.
The closures followed the company's third bankruptcy filing since 2018, driven by falling sales and economic challenges affecting legacy casual dining brands.
Bertucci's continues to operate 10 Massachusetts locations according to its website, while it launched a fast-casual concept called Bertucci's Pronto near Boston's Government Center.
The bankruptcy filings attributed the chain's struggles to ongoing financial losses, persistent inflation, and challenging market conditions, with the company seeking bankruptcy protection to gain temporary relief and develop a reorganization strategy.
The recent closures and bankruptcy imply the company seeks to reduce losses and reorganize amid uncertain economic conditions and changing consumer demand.
