The Pizza Chef Set is the ideal solution for equipping a new pizzeria or upgrading an existing set of tools. Professional pizzaiolo work requires several specialized tools, and combining them in one set ensures optimal compatibility and a uniform quality level. The tools included in the set are mutually complementary — large and small peels, cutters of various sizes and screens — which provide a complete preparation cycle from dough rolling to serving the finished pizza.
Typical contents of a Pizza Chef Set
A professional Pizza Chef Set typically includes the following items. Pizza peels — an aluminium or stainless steel peel for placing and removing pizza from the oven; usually two sizes (28 cm and 33 cm). Pizza cutter or wheel — a rotary or mezzaluna cutter made of stainless steel with an ergonomic handle; some sets include both types. Dough scraper — a plastic or stainless steel scraper for cutting dough and lifting it from the surface. Pizza screen — a perforated aluminium screen for baking; improves air circulation under the dough. Dough containers — some sets also include dough storage containers. Also take a look at Pizza Peels.
Types of peels in the set
The pizza peel in the set plays an important role in professional pizzaiolo work. Aluminium peel — lightweight, durable, with good glide thanks to a wooden or composite handle; the standard option in larger sets. Stainless steel peel — more durable and hygienic; meets HACCP requirements; heavier. Perforated peel — with holes; reduces sticking under the dough; suitable for wet or thin dough. Conveyor peel — shorter length for conveyor-type ovens; suitable for conveyor-type pizza restaurants. Handle length — from 75 cm to 150 cm depending on oven depth; important to consider before purchasing the set. Also take a look at Pizza Screens.
Pizza cutters in the set
A pizza cutter is an essential element in every Pizza Chef Set. Wheel cutter — a stainless steel blade that rotates around an axis; fast cutting with a continuous pulling motion; the most popular option in professional kitchens. Mezzaluna pizza cutter — a semi-circular blade with handles on both sides; cuts with a rocking motion; provides a uniform cut across the entire width. Pizza scissors — some sets include pizza scissors for cutting directly on the board. Blade maintenance — regular sharpening or replacement of professional cutters to ensure clean cutting without tearing the dough. Also take a look at Pizza Boards.
Using and maintaining the set
Proper maintenance of the Pizza Chef Set extends the lifespan of the tools. Daily cleaning — peels and screens should be cleaned after each shift; remove dough residue; stainless steel tools are dishwasher-safe. Aluminium peel maintenance — regular cleaning with silver polish; avoid abrasive agents that scratch the surface. Cutter sharpening — regular sharpening of the wheel blade or replacement; a sharp blade ensures clean cutting without pulling the dough. Screen cleaning — cleaning perforated screens is specific; dough deposits must be scraped off before washing. Also take a look at Dough Containers.
