For Anthony, the XLT conveyor oven has essentially become another reliable “employee”
Continuing a recent discussion with Anthony Lopez of Twisted Pizza, Lopez shared his insights on the transition from traditional deck ovens to XLT conveyor ovens. His experience with XLT ovens highlights how conveyor ovens, specifically conveyorized impingement ovens, can transform pizza operations by improving consistency, efficiency, and bake quality.
The Convenience and Consistency of XLT Conveyor Ovens
Anthony’s journey with XLT conveyor ovens began as he sought ways to streamline operations at Twisted Pizza without compromising on quality. According to him, making the switch was a “no-brainer.” Here’s why:
- Ease of Use: Operating a deck oven requires skilled labor and constant attention, often needing two employees to manage efficiently, especially with high demand. Anthony noted how switching to XLT conveyor ovens simplified his operations. Unlike deck ovens, which demand hands-on work to ensure even baking, conveyor ovens automate the process, allowing even new team members to operate them with ease.
- Consistent Quality: One of the biggest challenges with deck ovens is achieving a uniform bake every time. Anthony pointed out that even the best-trained staff struggle to deliver the exact same quality consistently with a deck oven. With XLT’s conveyor pizza oven, he no longer has to worry about quality variations between staff members. The impingement technology in XLT ovens ensures that each pizza is baked to perfection, with consistent results regardless of who is operating the oven.
- Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Before transitioning to conveyor ovens, customers would often visit on specific days to get a pizza baked by their favorite cook. Now, Anthony’s customers are happy with the product every day, knowing they’ll receive the same high-quality pizza regardless of who is working. This reliability has even helped Twisted Pizza win awards, all while using a conveyor oven instead of a deck oven. This goes to show that conveyorized impingement ovens not only maintain but can elevate bake quality.
- Efficient Workflow and Labor Savings: By eliminating the need for constant oversight, XLT ovens free up staff to focus on other tasks, reducing labor costs and improving overall efficiency. For Anthony, the conveyor oven has essentially become another reliable “employee,” one that doesn’t require a break and consistently performs its job well.
The Winning Formula: XLT Conveyorized Impingement Ovens
XLT conveyor ovens use advanced impingement technology to direct hot air at the pizza, ensuring even cooking on the top and bottom for a balanced texture and bake. For Twisted Pizza, this technology has meant higher customer satisfaction and a streamlined operation. From the award-winning results to the increased efficiency, Anthony’s experience speaks volumes about the benefits of switching to XLT.
Final Thoughts: A Game Changer for Pizzerias
