Buying Guide
FAQs
What factors should I prioritize when choosing a commercial pizza oven for my restaurant?
Prioritize capacity (pizza size and output), temperature range (500–800°F for crispy crusts), and build quality (stainless steel for durability). Features like dual heating elements, precise controls, and easy cleaning also enhance efficiency in a busy kitchen.
How do single-deck and double-deck pizza ovens compare in cost and productivity?
Single-deck ovens (e.g., $159.99–$399.99) are cheaper but cook one pizza at a time. Double-deck models (e.g., $191.99–$399.99) cost more upfront but double output, ideal for high-volume restaurants. Conveyor ovens ($1,749.02+) offer even higher throughput but at a premium price.
Are higher-priced pizza ovens worth the investment for a restaurant?
Premium ovens (e.g., $300+) often include advanced features like ETL certification, dual temperature zones, and timers, which improve safety, consistency, and speed. For high-volume settings, these features justify the cost via long-term efficiency gains.
What temperature range is ideal for commercial pizza ovens?
Aim for ovens reaching 500–800°F to achieve Neapolitan-style leoparding and crispy crusts. Models like the CROSSON (550°F) and Ninja (700°F) balance performance and price, while Piezano and Chefman reach 800°F for extreme heat.
How do I balance budget and quality when selecting a restaurant pizza oven?
For tight budgets, consider compact countertop models ($159.99–$250) like Piezano or Kratos. For higher budgets, invest in durable, feature-rich options (e.g., CROSSON’s stainless steel build or PYY’s dual decks) that withstand heavy use and reduce downtime.
Do all commercial pizza ovens require special electrical setups?
Most countertop models (120V, 1,450–1,700W) plug into standard outlets. Exceptions include high-wattage ovens (e.g., PYY’s 2,200W) or conveyor ovens, which may need dedicated circuits. Check product specs for voltage and plug type (e.g., 3-prong vs. 2-prong).
