Bakers Pride has the solution for foodservice professionals that would like to add authentic pizza to their menu, without a huge investment of space and money. This is particularly relevant in October, which is National Pizza Month and the beginning of some of the hottest pizza ordering occasions.

 

Pizza by the slice is very popular with diners and is known to be a nice profit generator for restaurants. In fact, Pizza Today noted that one of the 5 things that the top 100 independent pizzerias have in common is their ‘Pizza by the Slice’ menu item. Not only do consumers love the pizza by the slice option, it’s also a great way to market new pizza styles and flavors to your customers.

 

So let’s take a look at the challenges that might prevent a foodservice operation from taking a slice of the pizza market, even when they know it would be a hit with their customers. The three obstacles that often appear are: space availability in the kitchen, utilities available for hook up, and the capital equipment costs. This is where Bakers Pride comes into play. Based on the challenges presented, Bakers Pride came up with a line of pizza ovens that offer small space solutions at a variety of price points.

 

Let’s take a look at a few of the models. The Bakers Pride P22-BL and P44-BL ovens feature 1/2” hearth stone decks and brick lining for fast bake times, quick recovery, and high volume production in 208v or 220/240v. The P22-BL and P44-BL models are 28” deep and 26” wide. The GP gas oven models feature 2 each, 1” thick hearth stone decks and up to 60,000 BTUH per oven for quick and easy slice reheating. GP models are available in two sizes: 31-1/2” deep with widths of 32 5/8” and 41 5/8”.
