GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (WWLP) - A popular Great Barrington eatery won't be serving pizza until the owners figure out what caused a blaze to break out there.



The fire broke out this afternoon at the Baba Louie's Pizzeria and started above the smoke detection and sprinkler system. It also gave dozens of residents and business owners quite the scare as nearby shops were forced to close early.

Great Barrington Fire chief Harry Jennings told 22news that because the alarm system wasn't tripped, the fire came as a surprise. Jennings said the pizza shop will not re-open until the problem is found and fixed. He says Baba Louie's is now working with an architect to speed that process along.
