Fire Ravages Brick Pizzeria and Convenience Store, Causes Road Closures

by Emma

A blaze erupted at a shopping plaza situated on Herbertsville Road in Brick, inflicting severe damage—potentially risking the destruction—upon a complex housing a pizzeria, convenience store, and a disused dry cleaning establishment. Firefighters managed to extinguish the inferno by approximately 7 p.m., yet witnesses recount a scene of devastation, according to accounts gathered by Shorebeat.

The epicenter of the conflagration was the shopping plaza located at 358 Herbertsville Road, home to Cuzzins Pizza and Jay’s Food Market. The third unit within the complex, formerly a dry cleaning establishment, had recently shuttered its operations. Brick fire officials reported the closure of Herbertsville Road between 19th and 22nd avenues. While unconfirmed, reports remain speculative regarding the extent of the fire’s reach into nearby residential or commercial properties before it was brought under control by firefighting crews.

Although employees of the pizzeria and convenience store were safely evacuated, authorities have not disclosed details regarding any rescue efforts or potential injuries sustained by firefighters during the operation.

Sources, though not officially corroborated, have suggested to Shorebeat that maintenance work on the structure’s roof may have been a precursor to the outbreak of the fire, believed to have originated in the vicinity of the pizzeria. Shorebeat awaits confirmation on the exact cause of the blaze. Firefighting contingents from various jurisdictions and neighboring municipalities swiftly converged upon the scene, employing multiple ladder trucks to combat the flames engulfing the commercial edifice from above, eventually gaining control over the inferno.
