Pizzerias

The equipment you need to open a pizza business varies depending on whether you plan to open a food truck or restaurant. Pizza equipment comes in various sizes and styles to suit any commercial kitchen. The most common equipment for pizzerias includes:

A convection oven is essential equipment for a pizzeria serving New York or Neapolitan pizza, as the hot air from the convection fan cooks the pizza quickly and evenly. For large pizzerias, a conveyor oven also works well for New York or Neopolitan pizza. Other pizza oven options include stone ovens, floor-standing pizza ovens, deck ovens, and brick ovens.

Your oven will be the most expensive pizza-making equipment in your pizzeria. Prices range significantly. A small, one deck convection oven costs a few hundred dollars and is ideal for use in a food truck. At the higher end of the scale, a 4-deck artisan stone oven costs over $80,000 and can hold 16 18" x 26" sheet pans.

The correct term for a pizza chef is pizzaiolo. The title indicates the chef is trained to make authentic, Italian-style pizzas.
