Grillvett, a Moscow-based manufacturer of live-fire cooking equipment, has expanded its lineup to include pizza ovens built from domestically sourced components. This development was reported by the TASS news agency, reflecting the company’s ongoing shift toward in-house production of professional pizza heating systems. Grillvett has traditionally focused on catering gear, and the new line marks a meaningful step in vertical integration, aiming to enhance reliability, reduce maintenance downtime, and offer a more consistent flame-driven cooking experience for high-volume pizzerias and foodservice operations.
According to the announcement, the capital’s enterprise began mass-producing dome-style, wood-fired pizza ovens designed for professional kitchens. The ovens are engineered to deliver intense heat efficiently while preserving structural integrity under heavy daily use. By leveraging multi-layer construction and robust insulation, the devices retain heat effectively and facilitate rapid recovery during busy service periods, which is essential for maintaining throughput and product quality in competitive markets.
Technical specifications cited by Grillvett emphasize heat propagation and temperature stability. The units can reach temperatures up to 450 degrees Celsius, enabling crisp crusts and evenly cooked toppings. The body of each oven comprises six insulation layers, contributing to sustained interior temperatures and minimizing energy loss. This design choice supports economic operation and consistent baking results, even during peak service hours in busy kitchens.
A notable feature of these ovens is their superior heat retention. Even after a lull in service or at the start of the next workday, the interior temperature remains sufficiently high to begin cooking promptly and maintain a uniform cooking environment across the entire chamber. This characteristic helps chefs maintain rhythm and reduces wait times between orders, which is particularly valuable for high-volume pizza operations that demand steady output and predictable quality.
In related industry developments, the pizza delivery sector has shown interest in equipment that enhances efficiency and consistency. In late August 2022, Vladimir Filimonov, who heads the TVOЯ Pizza brand, discussed practical criteria for evaluating pizza delivery quality and the role equipment choices play in achieving dependable results. The discussion underscores how reliable ovens, heat management, and durable construction contribute to a superior end product and a smoother delivery workflow. This perspective emphasizes the interplay between technology, workflow, and customer satisfaction in modern pizza services (TASS).
