Built for heat. Installed for performance.
Pizza ovens generate intense heat and require specialist installation to ensure safety, efficiency, and consistent cooking results. A correctly installed oven supports fast service, even cooking, and long-term reliability while protecting staff, equipment, and the surrounding kitchen environment.
Our installations are designed for real-world service conditions, not just manufacturer specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Pizza Oven Installation
What types of pizza ovens are used in commercial kitchens?
Common commercial pizza oven types include:
-
Electric pizza ovens
-
Gas pizza ovens
-
Wood-fired pizza ovens
-
Hybrid ovens (gas with wood assist)
Each type offers different performance, flavour profiles, and installation requirements.
What is the best pizza oven for a commercial kitchen?
The best pizza oven depends on menu volume, available space, ventilation options, and desired cooking style. Gas and electric ovens are popular for consistency and ease of compliance, while wood-fired ovens are chosen for traditional flavour and visual appeal.
What fuels can commercial pizza ovens use?
Commercial pizza ovens can be powered by:
-
Electricity
-
Natural gas
-
LPG
-
Wood (logs or pellets)
Fuel choice affects heat output, ventilation, compliance, and operating costs.
What ventilation is required for a pizza oven?
Ventilation requirements depend on oven type:
-
Electric ovens often require standard mechanical extraction
-
Gas ovens typically require canopy extraction
-
Wood-fired ovens require dedicated flue systems
Ventilation must safely remove heat, smoke, and combustion by-products.
Can a pizza oven be installed under a canopy?
Depending on oven style and flue type, Many gas and electric deck style pizza ovens are suitable for installation beneath an extraction canopy, provided the canopy and airflow are correctly designed for the heat and fumes produced.
Can a pizza oven be installed next to other appliances?
Yes, but spacing, heat shielding, and ventilation must be carefully planned. High operating temperatures mean surrounding equipment and surfaces must be protected and compliant.
What is a twin-wall flue?
A twin-wall flue is an insulated flue system used to safely remove combustion gases from solid fuel or gas appliances. The insulation helps control surface temperatures and improves safety in commercial kitchens.
When is a twin-wall flue required?
Twin-wall flues are commonly required for:
-
Wood-fired pizza ovens
-
Certain gas pizza ovens without canopy extraction
They are used where direct flue discharge is required instead of standard ducted extraction.
What ducting is required for a traditional pizza oven?
Traditional wood-fired pizza ovens typically require a dedicated flue system rather than grease ducting. The flue must be correctly sized, insulated, and routed to safely discharge combustion gases.
Is a fan required on a twin-wall flue?
In many cases, yes. An inline or roof-mounted fan may be required to assist flue draw, improve combustion, and ensure safe discharge—especially where flue runs are long or have multiple bends.
How hot do commercial pizza ovens get?
Commercial pizza ovens can operate at temperatures exceeding 400–500°C, particularly wood-fired models. This makes correct spacing, wall protection, and heat-resistant finishes essential.
Are there special regulations for pizza ovens in commercial kitchens?
Yes. Pizza ovens must comply with:
-
Gas or electrical safety regulations
-
Fire safety guidance
-
Ventilation requirements
-
Manufacturer installation instructions
Solid fuel ovens also require additional fire and flue considerations.
Do pizza ovens require special wall protection?
Yes. Walls near pizza ovens are exposed to extreme heat. Stainless steel wall cladding is commonly used to protect walls and maintain hygiene and compliance.
Can pizza ovens be installed in open or theatre kitchens?
Yes. Pizza ovens are frequently installed in open kitchens, but this requires enhanced ventilation, heat control, and careful layout planning to protect staff and customers.
Can you build dedicated pizza sections in a kitchen?
Yes. Dedicated pizza sections can be designed and installed, including ovens, prep benches, refrigerated toppings units, dough storage, and integrated extraction systems.
Can existing pizza oven installations be improved?
Yes. Existing installations can be reviewed to identify compliance issues, ventilation inefficiencies, heat protection gaps, and opportunities to improve performance and safety.
How do I start a commercial pizza oven installation project?
The first step is a site survey and consultation. This allows oven type, fuel choice, ventilation routes, heat protection, and compliance requirements to be assessed before installation.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your kitchen and recommend a compliant, efficient pizza oven solution.
How much does a commercial pizza oven installation cost?
Costs vary depending on oven type, fuel, ventilation, flue systems, and installation complexity. Proper planning helps avoid costly retrofits and compliance issues later.
Do you work with chefs, engineers, and installers?
Yes. Pizza oven projects are coordinated with chefs, engineers, installers, and project managers to ensure performance, safety, and workflow are all aligned.
What areas do you cover for commercial pizza oven installations?
Commercial pizza oven design and installation services are available across London, Essex, and inside and around the M25.
Why choose a specialist for commercial pizza oven installations?
Specialists understand extreme heat management, ventilation, fire safety, and real-world kitchen workflows. This ensures pizza ovens are installed safely, compliantly, and built to perform at service temperatures.
