Pizza-making is an art form requiring precision, passion, and the perfect combination of ingredients. As any master pizzaiolo knows, achieving pizza perfection starts with exceptional dough and ends with a superior oven. The tips we've compiled here from Master Pizzaiolo Bryan Spangler will help highlight these important ideas -- and more -- because, as any operator knows, pizza is a way of life.
At the heart of every great pizza lies the dough, and as Pizzaiolo Spangler points out, pizza should be considered bread with toppings. This means the dough itself is extremely important because it is the delivery vehicle for the other flavors and ingredients. Master pizzaiolos around the world devote significant time and energy to perfecting their pizza dough, understanding that it forms the foundation of their culinary creations.
While every ingredient plays a crucial role, the oven holds a special place in the pizza-making process. Spangler emphasizes the importance of an exceptional bake with consistent results, and he attributes much of his own operation's success to the PizzaMaster oven. He notes, "Buying a PizzaMaster oven was easily one of the best decisions I've ever made."
What sets PizzaMaster ovens apart? Spangler highlights their superior recovery heat, thanks to higher wattage elements strategically placed in the oven. This results in faster and more consistent baking, surpassing the performance of any other deck oven he's used in the past.
One of the standout features of PizzaMaster ovens is their flexibility and efficiency. Spangler praises the oven's infinite settings and ability to reach temperatures up to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing for a wide range of pizza styles, from Neo-Neapolitan to New York and beyond.
Moreover, PizzaMaster ovens boast exceptional insulation, keeping heat inside the oven for more efficient energy use. Spangler notes that these electric deck ovens outperform gas deck ovens in terms of cost and efficiency, making them a cost-effective choice for his restaurant.
Recognizing that one size does not fit all, PizzaMaster ovens offer a range of models to suit various needs. Whether you're building a new kitchen or retrofitting an existing space, there's a PizzaMaster oven to fit your requirements.
