Benefits of Electric Ovens



Let’s explore the advantages of the PizzaMaster electric pizza oven compared to wood-fired ovens, gas-fired ovens, and conveyor ovens. As one of the leading industrial pizza ovens on the market, the PizzaMaster stands out for its efficiency, consistency, and ease of use. This versatile pizza oven is designed to meet the high demands of modern pizzerias, offering superior performance that can truly elevate your business. 


Benefits of the Electric Pizza Oven vs. Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens

  • Reliable, Consistent Results

    • Maintains steady internal temperature for even cooking and repeatable results.

    • Not affected by weather conditions, wood quality, or operator skill.

    • Quick heat recovery after opening the oven door.

    • Ideal for commercial kitchens and industrial pizza ovens setups where consistency is key.

  • Safer to Operate

    • No open flames – greatly reduces fire risk compared to traditional wood-fired ovens.

    • Produces no smoke or carbon monoxide – ideal for indoor use with minimal ventilation.

    • Requires no storage of flammable materials like firewood.

    • Built-in thermostats and timers prevent overheating and help maintain safe, consistent operation.

  • Easy to Use

    • Digital controls for temperature and timing – no need to manually light or manage a fire.

    • Heats up in just 15–20 minutes, versus up to an hour for wood-fired ovens.

    • No specialist training required – easy for any staff to operate.

    • Clean operation – no soot, ash, or debris to manage after service.

  • Cost-Effective

    • Energy-efficient – converts nearly all electricity directly into cooking heat.

    • Lower running costs – once at temperature, operates at just ⅓ of its maximum amperage.

    • Simple installation – requires only a basic electrical connection, no custom venting or chimney.

    • Minimal maintenance – occasional heating element checks versus regular cleaning and brickwork upkeep for wood ovens.


Benefits of the PizzaMaster Electric Pizza Oven vs. Gas-Fired Pizza Ovens

  • Superior Pizza Quality

    • Gas-fired ovens often generate heat from burners beneath the stone hearth, creating excess bottom heat and limiting the chamber’s overall temperature.

    • This imbalance can slow cooking times and reduce capacity.

    • The PizzaMaster electric pizza oven is engineered with greater top heat than bottom heat, combined with a high-performance stone hearth—allowing for higher bake temperatures and improved pizza quality and output.

  • Simplified Ventilation Requirements

    • Gas ovens must be installed under certified hoods with grease filters and sprinkler systems, per national and local regulations.

    • The PizzaMaster pizza oven, as an electric model, typically does not require a ventilation connection—making installation simpler and more flexible.

    • In locations with limited ventilation, a basic hood or connection is recommended but often not legally required.

  • Fewer Regulatory Hurdles

    • Many local governments, property owners, and building codes impose strict limitations on the use of gas ovens due to fire risk and emissions.

    • Electric industrial pizza ovens like the PizzaMaster often bypass these restrictions entirely, streamlining the approval and installation process.

  • Higher Cooking Capacity

    • Thanks to high power output and superior top heat, the PizzaMaster electric pizza oven delivers greater cooking capacity than most gas-fired ovens.

    • Gas models tend to produce uneven heating with more bottom heat, limiting their efficiency and throughput in busy commercial environments.

  • More Flexible Installation

    • Gas ovens can be difficult to install due to strict ventilation and regulatory requirements.

    • With over 105 available models, PizzaMaster ovens are designed for flexible placement and can be installed in a wide variety of commercial spaces—even those with limited infrastructure.

  • Better Investment Value

    • When comparing similar sizes and capacities, the PizzaMaster deck oven is typically more affordable than gas-fired alternatives.

    • The savings increase when factoring in the additional costs of required certified ventilation for gas models.

  • Lower Operating Costs

    • Although gas may be cheaper per unit than electricity, gas ovens use significantly more energy to operate.

    • The PizzaMaster pizza oven is highly energy-efficient—once at target temperature, it runs on just ⅓ of its maximum amperage to maintain consistent heat, making it more economical for daily use.


Benefits of the PizzaMaster Electric Pizza Oven vs. Conveyor Pizza Ovens

  • Superior Pizza Quality

    • The PizzaMaster pizza oven allows pizzas to be baked directly on a stone hearth, producing a crisp, golden crust with a soft interior.

    • Conveyor ovens require baking in pans or on wire grids, which results in longer bake times and lower-quality texture.

    • PizzaMaster ovens use static heat (no moving air), while conveyor ovens have open ends and constant airflow, often drying out the pizza.

    • Many pizzerias using conveyor ovens compensate with added oil or cheese—compromising on quality and cost.

  • Better Design & Smaller Footprint

    • Deck ovens like PizzaMaster enhance the visual appeal of open kitchens, especially when operated by skilled pizza chefs.

    • Conveyor ovens are typically unattractive, often hidden at the back of the kitchen to avoid customer view.

    • Conveyor ovens take up more floor space, which can be a serious disadvantage in compact kitchens or mobile setups.

  • Higher Real-World Capacity

    • While conveyor ovens are marketed as high-capacity solutions, PizzaMaster electric pizza ovens often outperform them in similar footprints.

    • Thanks to high power, advanced insulation, and a superior balance of top and bottom heat, PizzaMaster ovens deliver faster cook times and more pizzas per hour in many real-world settings.

  • Minimal Maintenance

    • Conveyor ovens have many moving parts that require regular servicing and frequent repairs.

    • PizzaMaster deck ovens are mechanically simple and robust, requiring little to no maintenance, which reduces downtime and service costs.

  • Improved User Environment

    • Conveyor ovens radiate more heat into the room due to their open-ended design, raising kitchen temperatures.

    • PizzaMaster’s enclosed deck design keeps heat contained, creating a cooler, more comfortable workspace for staff—and using less energy overall.

  • Lower Investment Cost

    • For similar size and output, a PizzaMaster electric pizza oven is typically more affordable than a conveyor oven.

    • You also avoid the added costs of maintenance contracts and spare parts that conveyor ovens often require.

  • Reduced Total Operating Costs

    • PizzaMaster ovens consume significantly less energy than conveyor ovens.

    • Combined with lower service needs and better durability, this makes the total cost of ownership much lower over time—ideal for any operation using industrial pizza ovens.
