Gothamist news map gives the location as 359 7th Ave -- that's where Pizza Plus is. Hope all is okay -- I have a soft spot in my heart for that old joint.

it was, indeed, 359 7th Avenue...a grease fire from Pizza Plus. I live next door and now have a giant hole in the ceiling of my bathroom, straight through to the outside. ugh.

in other news, though...no one was hurt. we had all either left for work or were out of the building and neighboring buildings as soon as the fire started.

I walked past it before. All of the windows in PP are broken and water all over the floor.

Sorry to hear about the hole in the ceiling but glad to hear nobody was hurt

Pizza Plus and the 2 apts above it are TOAST (no pun intended). No one was hurt, thank God. Just gotta call from the owner's uncle. Everyone's AOK, just out of biz for now

Not a grease fire, but supossedly issue with one of the other protection systems, go figure! Sorry to hear about your pad.

Glad no one was hurt!

Rough week or two for businesses in the South Slope.

Tost closed (loved them!). Computer Cafe closed. And now this.

Damn. What do you do in such a situation? Do you have to move?

You really consider Computer Cafe a loss?

Ha!

And as much as I liked Tost, I think I care more about their closing than the owners ever did--which is sad. They kept such erratic hours I thought they had closed months ago.
