Poppy's Diner and Pizza in Peabody Is Closing Its Doors

A restaurant that opened in Peabody late last year is going to be closing this week, but the owner is hoping to open a smaller restaurant at some point in the future.

A note sent to us by the owner of Poppy's Diner and Pizza on Route 1 indicates that the Peabody eatery will be closing at the end of March. Poppy's has been serving American fare and comfort food since opening last fall on the stretch of highway between Route 128 and Lowell Street. Some of the dishes they have offered customers include pancakes, pizza, burgers, chicken and dumplings, macaroni and cheese, shepherd's pie, and chicken wings.

According to the owner, they are looking to open a restaurant in a smaller space, and will likely keep the Poppy's name if/when they do open.
