Leaves and small stems are normal fare for horn worms although they will occasionally munch on a green tomato. Birds will peck craters in ripe fruit. Nets over the plants are one method of control.

I'm guessing BIRDS! They eat my strawberries, and I looked it up, they eat red tomatoes also, especially mocking birds ;)
Try covering with a net.
I don't think that it would be tomato worms as some people have said, they usually only eat the leaves or green tomatoes.

Probably a tomato horn worm. Here is an article that will help you understand them and deal with them. They turn into hawk moths which I think are really cool looking.

Tomato horn worms. They're green and you can't normally find them on your tomato plants. Look for little black poops and they're usually above the poop.

Could be voles. It happens to me, too. I am generous. I share. And, I just cut out the area and use the rest.
