Southington Pizza Place Damaged by Fire

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A local pizza place was damaged by fire Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The fire was called in by a passerby at about midnight at Townline Pizza, 1660 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike, authorities said.

There were no sprinklers in the building, but water spewing out of a burst pipe actually helped contain the flames, authorities said.

NBC Connecticut reported that the pizza shop is closed but the remaining stores in the plaza should be able to operate, authorities said.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
