Pizza ovens
In the catering industry, the preparation of real, high-quality pizzas requires the right equipment. Ordinary convection ovens do not reach the required temperatures or ensure even baking, resulting in a mediocre product. Investing in a professional pizza oven from GastroProdukt allows you to serve better dishes and enables faster service. As a result, your establishment will serve more guests in a shorter time and you can build a stronger brand and stand out from the competition.
We encourage you to check out our full range of pizza ovens, which are perfect for pizzerias, restaurants and other catering establishments.
Catering pizza ovens
At GastroProdukt, we understand very well that preparing a top quality dish requires not only great skill, but also professional equipment. Catering pizza ovens increase the comfort of your work, as well as improving the possibility of the number of pizzas being baked at the same time, which in turn increases the revenue of your establishment. Our offer includes both traditional wood-fired pizza ovens and modern electric or gas-fired models.
Selected GastroProdukt products offer interesting solutions, such as the innovative Forninox technology, which makes it easier to maintain a constant temperature in the chamber. This frees the chef from the obligation to constantly monitor the hearth or the state of the fire - so he can focus on what is most important: preparing a delicious dish.
Professional pizza ovens
We particularly recommend professional wood-fired pizza ovens, built with chamotte bricks from Anagni in Italy. Such an oven is largely handmade, which gives it character and makes any customer immediately look at the establishment with a more favourable eye.
GastroProdukt offers a genuine, original Italian pizza oven. It will be ideal for establishments that follow authentic recipes and focus on a Mediterranean atmosphere. We offer a wide selection of models from the well-known manufacturer Alfa Forni, straight from sunny Italy.
How do you choose a pizza oven?
There are many types of pizza ovens available on the market. Depending on your preferences, it makes sense to opt for a specific type. However, it is important to remember that needs and possibilities are two different things.
Before deciding to buy a pizza oven, you should first carefully analyse the conditions of the premises and the technical possibilities of the connections. The installation of a wood-fired oven in practice depends on the permissible heat emission and the load-bearing capacity of the ground. Similarly, gas models require specific requirements: a suitable flue, gas installation, electrical supply and effective ventilation. To begin with, it is therefore worth verifying which types of cooker can realistically be considered, taking into account the existing technical infrastructure and building regulations.
Another important consideration is what type of cake you want to bake. Completely different baking temperatures are assigned to a true Neapolitan pizza and others to those variants based on slightly thicker dough or prepared with special types of yeast. Is there a universal pizza oven? The temperature range that a particular appliance will be able to handle is important. If it exceeds 450°C, almost any of the popular pizzas can be prepared in it.
The size of the pizzeria also plays a key role. It can be difficult to fit a real stone pizza oven in a small space. It is the question of space that can determine whether a small electric oven or a slightly larger gas or brick oven is the better choice. Even if the equipment will theoretically fit in the chosen space, you still need to remember that it must be installed in such a way that your staff can operate it freely.
When choosing a pizza oven, intuitive operation is key - even less experienced cooks will quickly learn to use our equipment. The models available in the catalogue have been designed with simple, ergonomic use in mind. If you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to consult our specialists, who will help you choose the ideal solution.
A very important selection criterion is also the price of the equipment itself and its maintenance costs. In the case of pizza ovens, the cheapest choice will be an electric model, but this does not mean that it will always work. If the premises serve many customers, it can generate very high electricity bills.
Wood-fired pizza ovens are definitely more viable - even if you fire them with high-calorie beech, they will be cheaper to maintain than electric or gas models. In the face of rising utility prices, you need to take this into account. It is best to make the relevant calculations to determine which option you can afford.
In summary, if you want to buy a viable, relatively efficient pizza oven, it is best to invest in an electric model. If you need a very efficient, large, expandable oven, it is a good idea to choose a gas oven. On the other hand, when you plan to bake Neapolitan-style pizzas or in the garden, it is worth choosing an oven based on the Italian style, wood-fired.
Cleaning and maintenance of pizza ovens
Traditional wood-fired pizza ovens are cleaned using a special wire brush on warm chamotte. Residues of burnt dough are scrubbed until the surface is clean. This is a time-consuming task, but in line with what many Italian masters recommend. Occasionally, a slightly damp cloth can also be rolled onto the brush to wash the inside of the heating chamber. On top of this, of course, you also need to remember to remove the ashes regularly with a dustpan and broom. All the necessary accessories can also be found in the GastroProdukt range.
A classic pizza oven should also be properly heated so that the temperature inside gradually increases. Failure to do so can lead to cracking of the bricks and even damage to the ceramic coating. Any flaw contributes to heat loss and reduces the functionality and performance of the equipment.
Do you want to make operation and maintenance as easy as possible? A more convenient solution is to choose an electric pizza oven that offers a pyrolysis mode. All you have to do is turn it on and set the temperature high enough, then wait until the cleaning process is complete - all the impurities will be burnt off, so all you have to do at the end is pick out the ashes. The unit is made of robust, resistant stainless steel, so the outside can also be washed freely with special chemicals.
