FM Industrial Pizza Oven STZ 233 for Professional Kitchens

A pizza oven that heats a refractory deck to radiant temperatures, transferring heat evenly through the base while the dome reflects it back onto the toppings. The refractory material stores and releases energy steadily, so the crust crisps without scorching and the cheese melts without drying out. No fan is needed; the heat circulates naturally between the deck and the dome, creating the high, dry environment that gives Neapolitan-style pizzas their characteristic leopard-spotted crust and soft centre.

The operator slides two 350 mm pizzas onto the deck, sets the temperature up to 320 °C, and chooses either a timed cycle of up to 60 minutes or continuous operation. A timer counts down the selected interval and sounds an alarm when the cycle ends, while a separate indicator confirms the oven is still holding temperature in continuous mode. The door remains closed during cooking to maintain the radiant field; opening it briefly to check or turn a pizza does not cause a significant drop in deck temperature.

The cooking surface is made of high-quality refractory material that withstands repeated thermal shock and resists warping. The exterior is stainless steel, finished in a brushed satin that reduces visible fingerprints and scuffs. The control panel is mounted on the front, with a rotary knob for temperature, a push-button timer, and a switch to toggle between timed and continuous modes.

A 3 kW heating element draws a steady load on a single-phase 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchen ring mains. The 28 kg weight allows one person to move the oven with a sack trolley or to place it on a sturdy worktop without additional reinforcement. The 535 mm square footprint fits into a corner or against a wall, leaving space for peel storage and ingredient trays.

Cleaning is limited to the parts the oven exposes: the refractory deck is brushed free of flour and ash after each service, and the stainless steel exterior is wiped with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The timer and temperature controls are sealed behind a clear polycarbonate panel that can be cleaned with a sanitising wipe without risk of moisture ingress.

The STZ 233 is a single-chamber oven with no variants or accessories listed in the current catalogue.
