Typically, pizza ovens are divided into the following indicators:

1. By type of energy carrier:

And now, we'll talk about each model in more detail ...
Woodburning stoves are considered the best. They create a unique interior of the establishment and allow you to cook pizza with an unusual taste. Such devices are made of refractory materials, most often made of bricks. Traditionally, these furnaces use wood or coal as fuel. The time of pizza preparation varies from two to five minutes. The construction of this furnace equipment is not complicated. It consists of a stable foundation (basement), a vault, a hearth (firewood and dishes are cooking on it), pipes for removing smoke, the outer shell and the thermal insulation layer.
Interest: True connoisseurs of pizza believe that the best option for cooking this Italian delicacy is the oven.
It would seem that almost all pizzerias should be equipped with such devices. But, alas, this is not so. Entrepreneurs are in no hurry to buy them, because these miracle devices have several weighty minuses. First, they are not cheap. The price for such furnaces is several times higher than for gas or electric. Secondly, the degree of safety of this equipment is a little embarrassing. Open access to fire is not very good. Thirdly, wood stoves are heated for a long time. Usually, the preheating time is about an hour, or even more. As you can see, not everything is as fabulous as it seems at first glance. There are flaws in this oven.

Electric furnaces
First of all, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Olegia plant provides a wide range of electric pizza ovens. With us you will easily find the best models of this equipment at the best price. Such units are simple to maintain, functional and reliable. They are the most convenient in operation and powerful. Heating of the inner chamber is carried out with the help of TENs, which have an upper or / and lower position. Material of the body - steel (alloy or stainless steel). But it is better to give your preference to models of alloy steel, because they do not deform at high temperatures. Most of these devices have an electronic programming system, thermostats and baking temperature regulators, which simplifies the process of pizza cooking as much as possible. These furnaces are convenient for equipping restaurants, cafes and small pizzerias. They can have several tiers. And this is a big plus if you need to cook several pizzas at the same time. The duration of baking culinary products in this equipment is about 15 minutes. The only downside of such installations is that the pizza cooked with their help can not be compared to the one that was baked in a wood stove.

Gas models of kitchen equipment for pizza making.
These units are considered the most economical. They can be connected to a centralized network or a gas cylinder. The inner chamber is heated by the combustion of gas. The duration of baking pizza is 5-7 minutes. Such stoves can have several levels. They are simple to maintain and functional. The main disadvantages of this installation include increased security requirements during its use.

2. According to the principle of work:

Conveyor ovens are used in large enterprises where it is necessary to prepare large volumes of pizza. They act in full accordance with their name: the pizza is laid out on the conveyor belt and moves from one end to the other. At the same time, the cook sets the cooking time and speed. These furnaces are available in both electric and gas versions. They do not require preheating and are characterized by high performance. The main disadvantages of such equipment are:

Outdoor stoves are designed for establishments that want to sell high-quality classic pizza. They are not such gabars dimensional, like their "conveyor counterparts," but their productivity and economy are also nothing! Pizza in such plants is baked on stone or cast iron surfaces located under the camera. The operating temperature is in the range of 400 to 500 degrees. The bottom furnaces are cheaper than conveyor belts, but they have a couple of minuses:

Tip: When selecting a kiln, pay attention to the material and thickness of the hearth. The thicker it is, the longer the stove will keep warm. As a material for pod ideal option will be a stone.

3. By number of levels:

Here everything is clear from the title. Stoves with one level are less productive than multi-level ones. In them it is impossible to bake several pizzas at the same time.

Yes ... The stove heater is different ... Therefore, before buying this equipment, pay attention to the following criteria:

If you plan to choose a pizzeria oven, which is designed for a significant number of seats, then stop at the wood-burning model. For a small establishment or for delivery of pizza you will need a pile or a conveyor stove. Also, conveyor equipment is the simplest in terms of operation, so it is suitable for use by under-qualified personnel. As for the producers of pizza ovens, at present the best of its kind are the Italians. But, do not exaggerate. On the market, it is easy to find counterfeits from China. So be careful. It is not necessary to cast into the background a stove of domestic production. They are not in many respects or even generally inferior in quality to foreign counterparts. Yes, and the price of this technique is quite pleasant.
Tip: To understand if a pizza oven is good or not, find out its weight. Excessive lightness of the stove is an indicator of low heat capacity, low strength of ornamental materials, weak thermal insulation, and generally low quality of equipment in general.
