A pizza oven fire has sparked an evacuation of Auckland's Langham Hotel.

Fire fighters were called to the hotel just before 9pm this evening.

A Fire Service spokesman said the blaze, which was contained in the flume of the oven, sent flames out the roof of the building.

Fire fighters used an aerial appliance with a large boom to subdue the fire.
Five appliances are still at the scene.
