    Blodgett 1048B BTU question

    bummer on the ovens. There are tons of them in the Chicago area used places. I don’t have a second really but if I had to pick it would be the old BP like Defara’s uses. Frank Mastro designed them as well and are basically a 1000 with a different outside look. Then it would be the pizza master...

    Blodgett 1048B BTU question

    Stef: The 1000 is actually pretty easy to find compared to finding one with the original stones. It is very hard to find one that is not beaten to all heck at this point in their life. Without the stones they are on par with the Y series ovens. I never liked the 1048 because I was raised on the...

    Blodgett 1048B BTU question

    There is an aluminum tag on the ovens side when you open the bottom door. Check to see what it says for model # and btu’s. Have her send you a photo. Personally the 1048 is not an oven I would use. We use 1960’s blodgett 1000’s which are 120,000 btu’s per deck with double burners. They bake...

    What are your cc processing rates

    Here in NV it is legal to have a charge for CC fees. We add 3% to every CC order and it offsets the fees. Once in a blue moon someone confronts us on this charge. We tell them the CC fees kill us and we are selling pizza and not subsidizing your CC perks.

    Passing credit card fee on to customer

    sounds good but prices are going up so fast it would be an ongoing menu charge. We mainly do it to pay for our credit card machine fees and to not help finance peoples trips to England 🙂

    Advertising expenses

    We haven’t spent any money on advertising. Make a consistently great pie with great service and that will be the best advertising and something that money can’t buy 🙂

    Passing credit card fee on to customer

    We have been doing it for years. Only a couple people have questioned it. In Nevada it is legal to do this- we post a small notice of the fee charge (3%) on the register. That makes it legal, but I think most other states have different rules?

    Who’s using conveyor ovens in New York

    I grew up in New Jersey and the NYC metro area pizza world. I never saw a conveyor oven till I left in the early 80’s. No reputable NYC pizzeria would ever use them. True NY style places are artisan in approach and conveyors would run customers off and I doubt the quality of the pie would ever...
