It's claimed, for example, that the Four Seasons pizza existed as early as 1660. Today, there are over two thousand different types of pizza in Italy. However, scholars agree that the millions of modern pizzas baked around the world are direct descendants of the dish that Italian bakers mastered quickly preparing 200 years ago in one of the most densely populated cities of the time – Naples. Naples is to pizza what Munich is to beer...
There are only two types of classic Neapolitan pizza: Margherito (pizza with tomatoes, cheese, and basil) and Marinaro (with anchovies). Recently, the City of Naples approved a special code that clearly defines the "canonical version of authentic Neapolitan pizza." A team of professors from the University of Naples worked on it, and the result is the following "only legitimate recipe" for pizza:
"The pizza dough is made with premium flour, fresh brewer's yeast, water, and sea salt. Olive oil should be drizzled over the center of the pizza to ensure even baking. The pizza toppings are made with 8-millimeter-thick tomato slices grown in the San Marzano area. The pizza is topped with only mozzarella cheese, made from fresh, high-quality buffalo milk."
Thanks to widespread advertising, quick preparation, simple technology, and a variety of flavors, pizza has become one of the most popular fast-food dishes in global cuisine. Originating in Naples over two centuries ago, it has long been beloved throughout Europe and America, and today is arguably the most affordable and popular food in the world.
One of the advantages of pizza in terms of preparation is its versatility – without violating the technology, it can be prepared at a fast food kiosk, and also served as a standalone dish in a restaurant of almost any category.
Pizza itself is a flat, doughy surface that serves as a "platform" for various toppings. The composition of the toppings can vary depending on the desires and capabilities of both the chef and the customer. The primary indicator of pizza quality is the quality of the dough. Pizza dough should have low moisture content (less than 40%), high aeration, and a uniform texture.
The dough preparation process is multi-stage, and this step is the most important. First, the flour is carefully sifted in a special flour sifter; a Russian-made "Cascade" flour sifter with a capacity of 150 kg/hour is a good choice. Next comes the dough mixing step in a dough mixer (for example, a Fimar with a 7 or 12 kg bowl). Next, the resulting dough is rolled out using electric or mechanical dough sheeters designed for rolling out dough pieces for pizza and other pastries. For example, GGF and S 30/A machines , capable of rolling out round flatbreads with a diameter of 140-290 mm, are well suited for this purpose.
So, the pizza base is ready. To prepare the pizza toppings, you'll need a vegetable slicer (for example, a table with a refrigerated interior and a marble work surface ). Refrigerated stainless steel containers ensure long-term storage of ingredients and allow for quick and easy pizza toppings. The table has a built-in refrigeration unit and chambers of varying sizes, with the refrigeration section divided into two compartments. 
The final step is baking the pizza. The fast-food market offers a wide selection of pizza ovens. We offer a selection of different models. GGF countertop pizza ovens comply with European safety standards. Each oven chamber is equipped with ceramic floors that retain heat. Internal halogen lighting ensures constant monitoring of the baking process. All ovens are equipped with an adjustable thermostat (from 60 to 500°C).
Running a pizzeria is a good, and most importantly, reliable business, unaffected by seasonality and financial upheavals. Pizza, as one of the most affordable dishes, has become a permanent part of our everyday lives. Demand for pizza remains constant, and the high quality of the product ensures a steady increase in customer numbers. Now that professional pizza-making equipment has become available on our market, we can confidently say that authentic Neapolitan pizza can be enjoyed anywhere in Ukraine.
