Editor's Notes
July 21, 2020:
There is a notable difference in the consistency and flavor of pizza dough that is baked in a wood-fired oven, however, these are not always practical in busy restaurants and require a good amount of ventilation, or must be situated outdoors. The best commercial pizza ovens such as those ranked here solve this issue by combining gas or electrical power and durable stainless steel housing, to produce a highly efficient and workable alternative to traditional brick ovens.
Many, including the Camp Chef Artisan, Camp Chef Italia, Waring WPO500, Adcraft PO-18, and the Waring WPO750 have ceramic decks that serve to absorb and evenly distribute the heat across the base of the dough, just as a brick oven does. Of these, the Camp Chef Italia and Camp Chef Artisan, enhance the heating dynamics of the surrounding oven body, to recreate the way that traditional brick ovens bake bread.
Busier outlets might benefit from having two oven shelves, and the Vevor Countertop, Adcraft PO-18, and the Waring WPO750 can all accommodate at least two pizzas each, while taking up the same amount of space on the worktop as their single-decked counterparts. Alternatively, smaller restaurants, cafes, or mobile catering units may require a model with less capacity, to save on vertical space and use less energy. For these, either the Fusion 508FC, Fusion 1023224, Wisco 561, or Waring WPO500 would be a more practical solution.
