Just caught the 6 o'clock NBC 4 news by accident. The lead story was Totonno's. Damage looks extensive. Major bummer.

I hope everyone is OK and nobody was hurt.

Just got word from Cookie in Coney Island.
Looks worse than is, restoration crew already on site.
Yes heavy damage but not down to the ground.
stevelieber at 9:09PM on 03/14/09
Oh no! That's terrible news. Glad to hear that not one was hurt. Hope they'll be able to reopen soon!

Insurance money? Lots or burning building in these parts a few decades ago.
chaevans at 9:35PM on 03/14/09
That's no insurance job. That's the oldest pizzeria in Briookyn. You don't burn it down for insurance money. My heart bleeds for Cookie and her crew. Bring her back as good as ever. I raise my glass to you tonight.

Oh no! Please don't let it close!

This is terrible! According to one channel, it was an oven fire, which I unfortunately predicted. This episode can't possibly look good for coal ovens which are already banned in many places. Hope they rebuild ASAP.
DrAlex at 10:57PM on 03/14/09
Is the coal oven OK? IS THE COAL OVEN OK!?!!?!?
TimSPC at 11:13PM on 03/14/09
Though we have not eaten at Totono's in Coney Island we have eaten at Totono's at 125 Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers. We have to admit that the comments about their pizza being the best around is 100% correct. We were sorry to learn that this Coney Island landmark was beset by fire and seriously damaged.

A bit of good news in the video report. The oven is still standing:
