ENP STAFF REPORTS
news@eastniagarapost.com
The fire at Pizza Oven Monday night was caused by careless smoking, according to a report from the Lockport Fire Department.
The fire at the Vine Street pizzeria started around 7:35 p.m., according to the report. Firefighters were on scene four minutes later and had the fire extinguished by 8:08 p.m.
Fire officials say there was approximately $5,000 damage to the structure and an unknown amount of damage to the building's contents.
According to LFD, 26 fire department personnel responded, six of which were on duty already and 20 of whom were called in from home including two fire investigators and Fire Chief Pat Brady. A pair of trucks -- engines 7 and 8 -- were dispatched to the scene.
The LFD report says that when the department's first platoon arrived, it found smoke "comng from a front corner of the structure, with the employees having all safely evacuated the premises prior to the Fire Department’s arrival."
Firefighters found the fire in the front ground floor corner of the structure and immediately pulled some siding and exterior sheathing off of this area of the building to expose the area where the fire was burning. Firefighters then extinguished the fire with approximately 100 gallons of water. Crews than removed boxes and cartons located on the inside of this area of the structure to check for any further evidence of the fire extending to other parts of the building. With no other evidence of heat or flames found anywhere else inside the building the fire was declared out at 8:08 p.m.
"LFD fire investigators found the cause of the fire to be careless smoking in the area located immediately adjacent to the front corner of the structure where the fire started," the report says.

Who has the best pizza in town? Ask that question in a room full of 10 people and you’ll get 12 different answers. This week’s culinary adventure is the beginning of a multi-part segment that aims to discover who, in fact, does have the prize-winning pie. The first location we visited was based upon email recommendations I received over the past two months. I use the term “recommendations” loosely because most of the emails consisted of one sentence. For example “Pizza Oven has the best pizza” and “best sauce=pizza oven” were the ones that put me over the edge and made me dial the phone in search of pizza perfection
Fifteen minutes? That’s what the kind young lady on the phone told me when I ordered my small cheese and pepperoni pizza. That seemed incredibly fast, almost as fast as Chinese take-out. I was already happy and I didn’t even pick it up yet. I took the time I had to review their web page: “Since 1969 Pizza Oven has been Lockport’s number one choice for fresh, New York Style pizza.” My eyes widened with disbelief when I realized that this little pizzeria will soon be celebrating its 50th anniversary. I looked down at the clock and I noticed only 3 minutes had passed. I had twelve minutes to go until I could pick up what some people describe as the best pizza in Western New York.
If you didn’t know to look for the pizzeria, you may miss it. It’s located at 54 Vine Street in Lockport, a little ways down from Main Street. As I pulled in I watched 4 people walk out with pizzas and there was a line inside. The place is small, clean on the inside, but very simple. There’s a no-nonsense approach to this place, they have a reputation for being the best and a counter and a kitchen is all they really need to get the job done.
The pizza has a thin crust and a sweet sauce. My first bite was interrupted by an over eager second bite, and third, and…I couldn’t get enough. This unique slice of pizza earned its reputation. The pepperoni had a classic zing and the extremely thin edges of the crust that had crispy oven roasted cheese made me wonder how this Little Lockportian pizzeria managed to impress me more than any pizzeria I’ve ever been to during my travels to New York City.
This pizzeria may be hard to beat. It was fast, clean, the staff was friendly, and the pizza itself was not only absolutely delicious, but unique too. My only complaint is that the extra slices I was saving for leftovers didn’t last until the next day, that we consumed just a couple hours later because I couldn’t get those crispy edges out of my mind. I’m surprised their legal counsel hasn’t suggested they stamp “CAUTION: ADDICTIVE” on every single box.
The next contestant in my journey to find the best pizza in East Niagara will be decided by the dear readers of this column. Simply email me at the address located at the bottom or leave a comment below and I will tally the recommendations that are received.
+Jay Bérent has paused his search for the World’s greatest cheeseburger to sample some pizza. Help him find his next location by emailing him at jayberent@gmail.com.
