Catering businesses require cooking equipment that is fast to set up, easy to transport and reliable during busy events.
A wood fired pizza oven designed for catering allows chefs to create fresh pizzas at weddings, banquets, corporate events and outdoor parties.
Unlike permanent brick ovens used in restaurants, catering ovens are typically portable metal ovens mounted on wheeled carts, allowing them to be moved between event locations.
Forno Sethi designs portable pizza ovens specifically for catering operations, combining wood-fired cooking performance with mobility and quick setup.
Live pizza counters have become extremely popular at events.
Guests enjoy watching pizzas being baked inside the oven while chefs prepare fresh toppings.
Wood-fired catering ovens offer several advantages:
🔥 Authentic pizza flavour
🔥 Fast cooking at high temperatures
🔥 Strong visual attraction at live counters
