Reach-in Refrigerator for pizzerias
Dough fermentation and bulk storage: trays of cold-fermenting dough, block cheese, prepped toppings and sauce.
Cold-fermented dough is the reason many pizzerias stand out, and it needs a stable refrigerator that is not opened every few minutes. An upright reach-in, ideally with one section reserved for dough trays, gives that stability, while the other section holds bulk cheese, prepped toppings and sauce. Tray slides or shelving sized to dough boxes make better use of the space than standard shelves. Because the reach-in sits in the back rather than on the line, it can be placed away from the oven, which keeps its temperature steady and its running cost down in a hot kitchen.
How to configure it
- Reserve one section for dough so its door is opened only when trays go in or come out.
- Fit shelving or slides to your dough box size before ordering, so trays stack without blocking airflow.
- Label dough trays with mixing date and time so the oldest dough is used first.
- Keep raw chicken for toppings in covered containers on a low shelf, away from the dough.
Mistakes to avoid
- Mixing dough trays with general stock in one section that is opened all evening, giving inconsistent fermentation.
- Stacking dough boxes tight against the back wall, which can over-chill the dough nearest the evaporator.
The reach-in range
Upright stainless cabinets in one-, two- and three-section builds, with full or half doors. Refrigerator, freezer, dual-temperature and convertible versions share the same body, so a kitchen can standardise on one footprint and one set of spares.
