What type of commercial pizza oven should I buy ?
First and foremost if you buy anything …make sure it’s an Italian pizza oven (some manufacturers claim Italian design – but they are made in China!!)
You’ll only get the true taste of pizza by buying one with a refractory stone base, this allows you to cook the pizza directly on the base – some people prefer to use pizza pans but the true pizza maker will always cook directly on the base.
Next you need to think about power – gas or electric? The electric pizza ovens are the best sellers as they are competitively priced and you don’t have to worry about costly extraction systems. It’s illegal to install a gas pizza oven without the full extract and safety cut out system, so factor this into your budget !!
If you’re starting off with pizza as a trial you may want to go for a small counter top pizza oven, but the most popular sellers are the twin deck electric ovens which cook 8 x 12” pizzas.
The profit margin in pizza sales is enormous, the raw materials cost is low and consumers are used to paying upwards of £7 for a takeaway pizza.
There’s a great selection of pizza ovens (all Italian!) on the following webpage, so take a look and get cooking up some healthy profits!!!
