Industrial Pizza Preparation Equipment
Industrial Pizza Preparation Equipment
Pizza production consists of successive stages, from kneading and sheeting the dough to preparing toppings, baking and delivery. Using the right equipment at each stage directly affects the taste of the pizza, service speed and consistency in production. For pizzerias, restaurants, cafes and hotels, equipment selection is shaped by the daily number of pizzas and the variety of products on the menu.
Mutbex offers electric, gas, conveyor and rotating deck pizza ovens, refrigerated pizza preparation units, dough sheeters and dough mixers, pizza pans and pizza screens, as well as pizza delivery bags and thermoboxes. Products from brands such as Öztiryakiler, Atalay, Empero, Rational and Avatherm can be compared in a single category.
Why Is a Stone Deck Important in a Pizza Oven?
A good pizza needs not only its top but also its base to be baked properly. The stone deck used in pizza ovens stores high heat and transfers it evenly to the dough. This keeps the bottom of the pizza crispy and the inside soft.
You can watch the effect of the stone deck on baking results in the Mutbex video. For oven types and selection criteria by business, you can read our article Pizza Oven Guide.

Electric Stone Deck Pizza Ovens
Thanks to easy installation and temperature control, electric pizza ovens are among the models most preferred by pizzerias and restaurants. According to the product page, the Öztiryakiler Electric Pizza Oven bakes 4+4 pizzas of 24 cm diameter at once with its 2-deck design, 50 x 50 x 10 cm interior per deck and 8 kW power.
For example, the Atalay APF-62-2 Double Deck Pizza Oven stands out with its specially made baking stone and independent top and bottom thermostat control. All single and double deck models are listed in the electric pizza ovens category.
Conveyor Pizza Ovens
In conveyor ovens, the pizza passes through the baking chamber on a moving belt. Since the baking time is determined by the belt speed, every pizza bakes in the same time with the same result. This design provides consistent production for pizzerias and chains with high delivery volumes.
According to the product page, the Öztiryakiler OKF 1500 is an electric conveyor oven with 10 kW total power and a 380 V connection. For businesses with gas infrastructure, the Öztiryakiler G1502 Gas Conveyor Pizza Oven is available, and for pide and lahmacun production, the Öztiryakiler OF1900L Conveyor Pide Lahmacun Oven. Other models are listed in the conveyor pizza ovens category.
Gas Pizza Ovens with Rotating Deck
In rotating deck ovens, the baking stone rotates inside the oven so that every point of the pizza receives equal heat. According to the product page, the Empero Gas Pizza Oven with Rotating Deck offers even baking with its 1000 mm rotating refractory stone deck, baking temperature adjustable between 0-400 °C and digital display.
Able to run on LPG and natural gas, the oven suits high-volume businesses with gas infrastructure. For higher capacity, the Empero Gas Pizza Oven with Rotating Deck, 130 Pizzas per Hour model with a 1200 mm stone is available. All models are listed in the gas pizza ovens category.
Refrigerated Pizza Preparation Units
Keeping pizza toppings cold and organized on the prep counter is important for both food safety and preparation speed. According to the product page, the Öztiryakiler PZC 54 Pizza Preparation Unit presents toppings at a single point with a capacity of 8 GN 1/4 containers, a -2/+8 °C operating range and a digital temperature display.
The plexiglass cover protects the toppings when not in use. Businesses that prefer a glass cover can choose the Öztiryakiler Pizza Preparation Unit with Glass Cover PZC 35, and those looking for a taller body can choose the high pizza preparation unit PZC 54. All models are listed in the pizza preparation units category.
Dough Sheeters
Rolling out dough by hand takes time and can result in different thicknesses for each pizza. Dough sheeters roll the dough to an even thickness by passing it between rollers. For example, according to the product page, the Öztiryakiler HA 40 sheets dough weighing 100-700 grams to a diameter of 26-40 cm.
For smaller diameters, the Öztiryakiler HA 30 is available, and for diameters up to 60 cm, the Öztiryakiler HA 60.3. You can watch the detailed review of the HA 40 in the Mutbex video. All models are listed in the dough sheeters category.
Dough Mixing and Proofing
The consistency of pizza dough varies with kneading time and dough quantity. For pizzerias preparing large quantities of dough, industrial dough mixers reduce the workload. For example, the Öztiryakiler UHM50 TR was developed for high-volume businesses with its 50 kg flour and 75 kg dough capacity.
Dough trays are used to keep kneaded dough from drying out while it proofs. The Avatherm Pizza Dough Tray Lid, which can be used at this stage, keeps the dough fresh according to the product page, and the trays can be stacked. Other models are listed in the industrial dough mixers category.
Pizza Pans and Pizza Screens
A pizza screen, made of aluminum with a perforated design, allows heat to reach the dough directly. According to the product page, this design prevents the dough from sticking, helps the pizza keep its shape and helps the base bake better. Pizza screens are offered in different diameters from 20 cm to 43 cm.
For service and baking, the Öztiryakiler Non-Stick Perforated Pizza Plate and the Öztiryakiler Aluminum Pizza Pan with Lid can be chosen, and for pre-processed frozen pizzas, the Rational Pizza Pan. All models are listed in the pizza pans category.
Pizza Delivery Bags and Pizzabox
For pizzerias offering delivery, getting the pizza to the customer hot directly affects customer satisfaction. According to the product page, the Avatherm Pizzabox holds 8 pizzas with its front-loading design and 46 x 46 x 33 cm interior.
For single and small orders, the Avatherm AV13 Pizza Bag can be used. Bags in different sizes are listed in the pizza delivery bags category.
