Pizza Prep Tables
Pizza prep tables are a staple in pizzerias, food trucks, and restaurants that serve pizza, flatbreads, and other made-to-order dishes. These refrigerated workstations combine cold storage with a dedicated prep surface, allowing staff to quickly assemble pizzas with easy access to ingredients. The top section typically features a pan rail that holds GN-sized containers for toppings like cheese, meats, vegetables, and sauces, while the base contains one or more refrigerated cabinets for dough trays or extra storage.
Most commercial pizza prep tables come in sizes ranging from compact single-door models to large multi-door units over 90 inches wide. The cutting surface is usually made of poly or granite and extends along the full length of the unit, giving ample room for pizza assembly. Some models also include a built-in dough retarder or extra drawers for improved organization. Optional accessories like night covers, lift-up sneeze guards, and ingredient bin lids are also available depending on the brand and model.
Refrigeration type is another key factor—pizza prep tables may be air-cooled (static or forced air) or use a cold-wall design. Forced air systems are more consistent and better suited for busy kitchens, but may require more frequent cleaning. For long-lasting performance, look for tables with stainless steel construction, digital thermostats, and high-efficiency compressors. Some models use eco-friendly refrigerants like R290 for better environmental compliance.
