Every pizzeria has a commercial pizza oven, but the type of oven will differ from one establishment to the next. Commercial pizza ovens should be chosen based on a number of different factors. You may need to do some research first before purchasing a pizza oven.
Different ovens can handle a different capacity of pizzas. You will want to figure out how many pizzas need to be cooked every hour and find the type of oven that can accommodate that.
A conveyor oven can cook large amount of pizzas, and you can control the speed of the conveyor to cook more or less.
A deck oven comes in various sizes and will cook a different amount of pizzas depending on the width of the unit. It is possible to stack some ovens on top of each other, or you can get one that has been manufactured to be a double oven.
You will also need to look at the difference between gas, electric and wood-fired ovens. All of them have their place, but gas is more popular because it is easier to control than the others and heats up very quickly. Wood-fired ovens are usually chosen because they make the pizza taste wonderful. An electric commercial pizza oven is rarely used.
Every commercial pizza oven will come with its own set of features, controls and gadgets. Take into account that most of these extra features will cost extra and get only what you think you will need to run your eating establishment.
If you need to get a double stacked oven, or even a triple stacked one, you should check to make sure that it will run with your electrical components. You may need to call in an electrician to make sure that it can be set up in the kitchen safely and legally.
You should also check out the ventilation requirements for each model that you are interested in. There are some brands of ovens that require more ventilation than others.
Commercial pizza ovens vary a lot in price. A very small shop may pay under $5,000 for a new oven, while a large pizzeria may need one that runs for approximately $50,000. Between these two extremes are many other ovens that will accommodate any size of shop.
Commercial pizza ovens vary in size, shape and price, and you will need to do some homework before going ahead and purchasing one. The best thing you can do is walk into a few pizzerias and find out what they are using. The owner or manager there will tell you the truth, without any hyped-up sales talk you would get from a company sales representative. After talking to a few owners you will know which model and type you would prefer to have in your own shop.
