A commercial pizza oven is designed specifically for use in a restaurant or business as a quick way to cook multiple orders at once. When looking for an oven for your restaurant or business, keep in mind some key factors in your decision. Staying within budget is most business owners concern, and then there is functionality and finally available space.
First and foremost is your budget. Determine how much you can spend at the very most and research the different types of ovens in your price range. Larger ovens tend to be more expensive but think about your need for fast productivity. You will want to work efficiently and serving orders faster also means faster sales.
Then take a measurement to get the dimensions of the space you will be placing the oven in. Do you have the space needed for a larger oven or is something more compact all you can accommodate? Keep in mind these ovens will be reaching extremely high temperature, ample open floor space is a safety requirement so leave extra room.
There are two main types of ovens, brick and conveyor. The type of oven will depend on what you are cooking. If you have a pizza restaurant the conveyor style will be required as baking time needs to be efficient. They vary in the speed of the cooking time, usually from two to five minutes. Ovens used for baking pies, cooking pasta dishes and other foods are similar to home ovens with the front door access. Conveyor style is not really needed.
Finally, most ovens come in gas or electric models. Gas models heat up quickly to about 650 degrees. They are built in stainless steel, fully insulated and easy to clean. The electric commercial pizza oven are the more compact variety and are powered by 120 or 240 volt electricity and like gas, are available in single or double decks.
