Deck pizza ovens offer the same flexibility as brick ovens in their style and are slightly easier to use, but they still require a lot of skill and constant monitoring, so they tend to have a longer cooking time than conveyors.
As speed of service isn’t always a priority with this oven, a cheese with a slightly slower melt compared to conveyor ovens will work best – but it depends on your style!

Everyday Heroes
If you’re working with a deck oven, you are an everyday hero, focusing on high quality consistent pizzas, working in limited space or where higher out-put is needed.
An everyday hero uses fresh, unprocessed ingredients striving to meet customer demand in a timely manor
