Mad Matt's Pizza and Roast Beef to Open in the Former Flip the Bird Space in North Woburn

Last month, it was reported that a local group of dining spots in the northern suburbs of Boston that focus on fried chicken sandwiches had closed one of its locations, and now we have learned what will be going into the space.

According to a source (Beckie Hunter), Mad Matt's Pizza and Roast Beef is planning to open in North Woburn, moving into the former Flip the Bird Space on Main Street. A Daily Times Chronicle article indicates that Nicholas Houvardas of Nick's Place in Lexington and Burlington is involved (and presumably Matthew Houvardas as well), with the upcoming spot apparently not having any renovations being done to the space.

Other locations of Flip the Bird remain open in Beverly, Danvers, and Swampscott, along with an upcoming outlet in North Andover.

The address for the upcoming Mad Matt's Pizza and Roast Beef in North Woburn is 880 Main Street (Route 38), Woburn, MA, 01801.
