The success of Pizza Day at Lawton Elementary is a testament to the importance of innovative kitchen technology.
For Lawton Elementary School in Seminole County, Florida, pizza day has gone from a kitchen nightmare to a breeze of efficiency and fun, thanks to the incredible power of the XLT 3240 conveyor oven. Partnering with Red Apple Dining, the school is now serving perfectly baked pizzas in record time—making both students and staff happier than ever.
From Stressful to Stress-Free Pizza Days
Before introducing the XLT conveyor pizza oven, baking pizzas at Lawton Elementary was a painstaking process. Kitchen staff had to hover over traditional ovens, constantly rotating pizzas to ensure even cooking and safe temperatures. This time-intensive process took up to 9 minutes per pizza and added unnecessary stress to already busy days.
But those days are long gone. With the XLT 3240 conveyorized impingement oven, pizza baking has become as simple as placing the pie on one side and retrieving it fully cooked on the other. In just 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the oven delivers a perfectly baked pizza—every single time.
