Electric Pizza Ovens

Electric pizza ovens are a versatile and reliable solution for baking pizza in restaurants and pizzerias — the electric heating element ensures stable temperature and easy installation without the need for a gas connection. BHS offers these ovens across Europe.

Advantages of electric pizza ovens

Electric pizza ovens provide several advantages for HoReCa businesses. Temperature precision — electric pizza ovens maintain a stable set temperature without fluctuations; independent top and bottom heat control allows adjusting heat distribution for baking different pizza styles. Ease of installation — electric pizza ovens do not require a gas connection; a suitable electrical connection is sufficient; ideal for locations without a gas network. Multi-deck configuration — electric pizza ovens are available with 1–4 independent baking chambers; each chamber has its own temperature control. Stone deck — electric pizza ovens with a fireproof stone or chamotte deck; accumulates heat and transfers it to the pizza base, creating a crispy crust. Explore also gas pizza ovens.

Types and configuration of electric pizza ovens

Electric pizza ovens are available in various configurations to suit production volume. Compact electric pizza ovens — electric pizza ovens with a small baking chamber for a 30–45 cm diameter pizza; suitable for cafés with limited demand or as an additional appliance. Standard single-deck electric pizza ovens — electric pizza ovens with a baking zone 60–80 cm wide; capacity for 2–4 pizzas simultaneously. Double-deck electric pizza ovens — electric pizza ovens with two independent chambers; double capacity with space-saving floor area. Convection electric pizza ovens — electric pizza ovens with a fan; air circulation ensures faster and more even baking; also suitable for bread and pastries. Tunnel electric pizza ovens — electric pizza ovens with a conveyor belt system; pizza moves through the baking zone; for high-production-capacity businesses.

Technical specifications of electric pizza ovens

The choice of electric pizza ovens depends on temperature requirements, pizza style and electrical installation capacity. Baking temperature — the maximum temperature of electric pizza ovens is usually 350–450°C; sufficient for most pizza styles, except authentic Neapolitan pizza, which requires 450–500°C. Electrical power — the power of electric pizza ovens is 2,5–15 kW depending on the model and number of decks; check the kitchen’s electrical installation capacity before installation. Heating element — electric pizza ovens with top and bottom heating elements; independent control allows creating a crispier or softer top and bottom. Stone deck material — electric pizza ovens with stone decks made of chamotte, fireproof stone or ceramic; each material accumulates and transfers heat differently.

Maintenance and durability

Electric pizza ovens require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Stone deck cleaning — the stone deck of electric pizza ovens should be cleaned after each shift with a dry metal brush; burnt residues are scraped off once the stone has cooled; do not wash with water — the stone may crack due to sudden temperature changes. Heating element inspection — check the condition of the heating elements of electric pizza ovens quarterly; a damaged element causes uneven temperature. Door seal inspection — replace the door seals of electric pizza ovens if damaged; a worn seal allows heat to escape from the chamber. Exterior surface cleaning — the stainless steel exterior of electric pizza ovens should be cleaned with a damp cloth; do not use abrasives that scratch the surface.
