Gas Pizza Oven Repair

Commercial pizza ovens are designed to create delicious pizzas for your restaurant or commercial kitchen, retaining extreme temperatures for the perfect crunchy crust.

This is often achieved with wood fired ovens, gas fired pizza ovens, or even electric models.

Commercial gas pizza ovens are becoming increasingly popular, however, for a variety of reasons.

Gas-Fired Pizza Oven

With the option of natural gas or LPG, gas-fired pizza ovens heat up faster than the traditional electric pizza oven, by heating the internal surfaces to cook the pizza. Gas pizza ovens are moreover easier and quicker to operate than a wood-fired oven since you don’t have to create the heat source yourself.

Obtaining and using LPG gas for your pizza oven is pretty simple – and natural gas pizza ovens are even easier, being installed into a gas line within your commercial kitchen.

However, using gas kitchen appliances always comes with a risk of leaks or breakdowns.

Nova Catering Repairs’ Gas Safe Registered engineers are experienced in handling a range of gas appliance repairs – including commercial pizza oven repair.

Is it worth buying a pizza oven?

It’s definitely worth purchasing a commercial pizza oven if your commercial catering menu features pizza or even breads. The great thing about pizza ovens is that they are not limited to just pizza – but are able to cook flatbreads, roast vegetables, and, under the right conditions, meats and fishes, too.

Pizza ovens deliver a great quality result for very little time and effort – allowing your restaurant or commercial kitchen to serve professional pizzas quickly, without sacrificing quality. Pizza ovens are designed to maintain optimal cooking temperatures from 150-260 degrees Celsius – allowing you to withhold your oven for other uses and temperatures.

Can you use a gas pizza oven indoors?

An indoor pizza oven is perfectly safe for indoor use, however, there are a few things you should be aware of before using an indoor pizza oven. Pizza ovens are designed to become extremely hot so your indoor pizza oven needs to be properly vented – especially if it’s gas, which can produce carbon monoxide.

Gas-fired pizza ovens require a gas source – whether that’s portable LPG tanks or a natural gas line, which must be fitted if there’s not one readily available.

Smaller countertop gas pizza ovens may be a good idea for commercial kitchens that do not want to install a conventional pizza oven; they can be used indoors, for a fraction of the price, whilst still guaranteeing the same quality.

Is a gas pizza oven or wood fired better?

When choosing between a gas pizza oven and a wood fired pizza oven for your commercial kitchen, there are several factors to consider.

A large advantage of commercial gas pizza ovens is the fact they are much easier to use. Operating by turning the gas source on and off, and without having to collect and keep an eye on restocking your heat source (as with wood), gas pizza ovens are much easier to handle in a fast-paced commercial kitchen. Moreover, this lack of maintenance frees up staff from having to watch over a wood-fired pizza oven. And when the dinner shift is done, gas pizza ovens make a lot less mess than wood-fired (which produces ash and soot), meaning cleaning up is much quicker. Gas ovens preheat faster, too, and their overall temperature is easier to maintain and control which is suitable for a kitchen that doesn’t have the time to monitor a wood-fired oven. However, being a gas kitchen appliance, gas pizza ovens do have to be installed by a gas appliance engineer.

On the other hand, wood-fired pizza ovens are the most authentic way of making your pizzas. Burning wood as their heat source, wood-fired pizza ovens produce smoke that uniquely flavours your pizza. They also have quicker cooking times versus the gas pizza oven, despite their preheating time being slower. With an open flame, wood-fired pizza ovens can create a hotter cooking environment, and overall need a lot more maintenance whilst functioning than gas pizza ovens.

If your commercial kitchen is fast-paced, happy to produce good quality pizzas, yet without that distinct smoky flavour, then the gas pizza oven is the one for you. Alternatively, if you can afford to invest the time and energy into a wood-fired pizza oven to produce a more authentic pizza, then wood-fired is the way to go.
