Pizza Table

A Pizza Table is a specialised workstation designed specifically for pizza preparation. Unlike a standard refrigerated work table, a pizza table features an integrated chilled topping zone with GN containers right next to the work surface, allowing the chef to reach all necessary ingredients without leaving the workstation. This significantly speeds up the pizza preparation process and reduces the risk of food contamination. BHS offers pizza tables to pizzerias and Italian restaurants across Europe.

How a pizza table works

The construction of a pizza table typically includes three zones. The work surface – usually a stainless steel or granite slab where the pizza is assembled – the dough is rolled out, toppings are added and the pizza is prepared for baking. The topping zone – chilled sections with GN containers in a row at the top, where baked dough, cheese, vegetables, meat and other pizza ingredients are stored. The refrigerated cabinet below – for additional storage of larger quantities or backup products. The cooling system maintains toppings at +2°C–+8°C throughout the shift, ensuring HACCP compliance and product freshness.

Sizes and configurations

Pizza tables are available in various widths – typically from 1350 mm to 2000 mm. Narrower models are suitable for small pizzerias with limited space, while wider ones are ideal for high-volume pizzerias with multiple staff working simultaneously. The number of topping containers depends on the model – standard options include 8–16 GN 1/6 or 1/3 format containers. The work surface height is usually 900 mm – ergonomically optimised for standing pizza preparation. Many models also offer additional sections, freezers or extra shelves below. In the Refrigerated Tables range, you will find a wider selection of refrigerated work tables.

HACCP and hygiene in the pizza kitchen

Pizza preparation in a HACCP context requires strict adherence to the cold chain. Dough must be stored below +4°C, cheese and meat below +4°C, and vegetables below +8°C. A pizza table with integrated cooling ensures these parameters without extra steps – the chef does not need to check the thermometer or fetch products from the freezer each time. The stainless steel work surface and GN containers are easy to disinfect. After each shift, a full cleaning and container disinfection is mandatory. BHS pizza tables comply with European food safety standards.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In small pizzerias with a single operator, the pizza table is the main work centre – from dough handling to topping application, everything happens in one place without moving around. In large pizzerias with multiple staff, two or more pizza tables can be used in parallel, each configured differently. In Italian restaurants, the pizza table is often supplemented with a Dough Sheeter for quick dough preparation. In dark kitchen formats, where pizza is sold for delivery only, the pizza table ensures maximum efficiency during peak hours. BHS helps you choose the right pizza table size and configuration for your pizzeria’s needs.

Frequently asked questions

Can any toppings be stored in a pizza table? A pizza table can store all pizza toppings – cheese, vegetables, meat, seafood and sauces – as long as they meet the storage temperature requirements. All chilled products must be kept below +4°C; vegetables can be stored up to +8°C. Seafood and cured products are usually stored separately.

Is the pizza table’s work surface suitable for installing a stone slab? Some pizza specialists prefer a granite or marble work surface for pizza preparation, as it maintains a lower temperature and prevents the dough from sticking. Some models allow for a stone surface to be installed. BHS consultants can help determine this option for specific models.
