Electric Pizza Ovens vs Gas Pizza Ovens

Considering the current price of gas and future forecast, the cost of running a gas pizza oven is very low. If you are after the best quality - you should look at a combination of both Gas and Wood Fired Pizza Ovens. If you have  a limited space, we recommend to use an electric pizza oven and with a stone base.

Pizzas have become integral parts of diets across the world, more so in the US and Australia because they are easy to collect on the way to home, or even order in other parts of the world. There are many pizzerias that offer variety of toppings to select from and food is served faster too since part of the preparation can be done before hand. But pizzas require ovens. In commercial eateries, pizzas have to be cooked right, and large quantities, apart from being served in time. To facilitate this, both traditional and modern methods are employed. Our pizza ovens can be shipped Australia wide, make sure to check the sizes, buying a commercial pizza oven and industrial gas pizza oven are more expensive than domestic one and the cost of replacing with another pizza oven commercial is not free of charge. We recently participate to a small demonstration witih our range of electric pizza ovens in Perth, Melbourne & Sydney.

The pizza ovens now used by commercial establishments can be broadly divided into three categories, i.e 

a. Deck ovens

b. Wood fired ovens

c. Conveyor pizza ovens

Deck ovens

These are perhaps the most commonly used ovens for making pizzas these days. The temperature in these ovens can reach anywhere between 500 degrees Fahrenheit and above to almost 650 degrees F. Electricity may be used to generate that heat though many are gas based as well. A commercial vent also forms part of this oven from where combustion fumes are released.  There are decks in deck oven. The door reveals decks covered with ceramic. Pizza base with all other ingredients can be directly placed on these decks. At times, pizza screen may be used to place the pizza. 

Large pizzas with diameters of 16” and more are made in these. Such ovens are available in different sizes and may also have multiple decks. A clearance of 3” or so exists between one deck and the other in such ovens with multiple decks. Obviously more than one pizza can be made at one go in these commercial pizza ovens. Power specifications can be almost 200 Volts/ 3600watts or even higher 

Conveyor pizza ovens

As the name suggests there is a conveyor belt and a longer heating oven chamber. Pizza pans move on the conveyor belt, or pizza may be placed on pizza screen. The heat transfer on these is even. However, more room is needed for installing such ovens. Moreover, conveyor belt being a mechanical part requires additional maintenance. However, larger restaurants where demand for pizzas is more and continuous would be better off with these ovens as there is no need to wait for previous pizza to be done. Even the heat utilization is better than other pizza ovens. Most common pizza oven brands: Middleby Marshall & Lincoln.

Wood fired pizza ovens

Unlike the other pizza ovens, there is a central brick oven in which wood is used for generating heat that can reach more than 750 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. This pizza oven is shaped externally like a dome and that is how pizzas were prepared back in Italy. The taste from these ovens is therefore authentic, though it may not appeal to everybody’s palate as people are now accustomed to pizzas from electric or gas fired ovens.
