The fire is believed to have started within the takeaway restaurant.
Merseyside police has said that it is 'lucky' nobody was in the building at the time of the fire, as the takeaway is below a number of flats.
No injuries have been reported.
A joint investigation between Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and Merseyside Police is ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact police.
Detective Inspector Ben Dyer said: "Thankfully nobody was hurt during the incident, especially as it was an extensive fire and there are flats above the shop. Luckily nobody was in the building at the time of the fire.
"The investigation is in the early stages, so at this point we are keeping an open mind as to how the fire was caused.
"However I would like to appeal to anyone was in the vicinity at around 8.30pm onwards and noticed any suspicious activity then please let us know.
"I am also appealing for any drivers who were in the area at the time to please check your dashcam footage and get in touch if something suspicious was captured. This evidence could hold information that could be vital to our enquiries."
