Lievitoo Pizza closed after firefighters tackle overnight fire
Lievitoo Pizza remained closed today after a fire broke out overnight earlier this week.
The fire service raced to the traditional Italian restaurant, which is located on Woodhouse Lane, after receiving a call from the member of the public at 22:48 on Wednesday (October 25).
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service dispatched crews from Leeds and Hunslet who arrived on the scene in five minutes.
The blaze was put out by 23:27 with no report of any injuries.
Lievitoo Pizza opened in 2019 and has since become a mainstay of the student lunch rush.
It has partnered with several student societies over the years, including Leeds Student Radio, The Italian Society and Women In Leadership.
