This is what we do at our main store that is on the same premises as our commissary, we put the dough on the pan with a little bit of oil and plastic wrap on top. We’ll have a couple racks of dough in one walk in and in our main walk in we have one rack with personal dough on the top couple...

We’ve tried a bunch and settled on the Orbis NPL 604 (https://www.orbiscorporation.com/products/hand-held-containers/straight-wall/npl-604#.XRqXq-hKjIU) Great price too, they were $14.45 each plus $401 freight charge direct from Orbis

We’ve worked with Bouncer in the past, I think we might revisit it. Some of our pizza guys were calling it “bounce back” because it had a little more shrinkage when you put it on the peel than our current flour. We have the dock, forklift, & warehouse space; ADM & General Mills said they have to...

Our’s is Joe Gigante, he’s been really helpful to us the past few years

I’m also looking to go to a clean label. We tried king arthur’s lancelot but our crust didn’t rise during the bake as well; not sure if it was the bromate or the change of flour. They wouldn’t send a rep out to work with me on it, I’m hoping to get someone that can work through it with me so I...

We do our own laundry and own a laundromat. Untangle the aprons before you put them in the dryer, it’s not that bad when they’re wet and they’ll come out of the dryer fine. Use black aprons instead of colored ones. Your towels won’t come out as well as a cleaning service, you might have to buy...

Is switching back to Grande an option? We switched to US Foods when Grande stopped selling to Roma and were able to get a great price from them since we were buying a lot of other products as well. They’re usually ~30 cents cheaper than our other supplier

We currently use ADM’s “Gigantic” high gluten flour (14% protein, 14% moisture, 0.52% ash). I am looking for a comparable flour of similar or higher quality. I’m trying to find a company that will send a truckload directly to us to see if there are any savings in cutting out our distributor. ADM...

We are currently paying, $0.39 for 12 inch $0.48 for 16 inch $0.67 for 18 inch Is anyone paying less? or should I stop complaining about paying almost $0.50 for a lg box 🙂

I’m thinking about changing how we do our scheduling. We’ve been doing it the same way for decades and it’s worked well enough, but I feel like its something that causes some headaches that could be prevented. We operate on a fixed schedule, it remains the same until someone leaves and creates...

See if you can try a rotating deck oven. I’ve never used one, but next time I’m in the market for ovens I plan on looking at them to help with labor and consistency. I’ve used Bakers Pride, Marsal, & old Blodgetts; they all cook great. I’m not sure about Bakers Pride, but Marsal has several...

I like the ones that are “x- dollars off” so you don’t need an expiration. When I’ve done the bite quick ones I find people like to argue on the phone and I give them the discount anyway. I don’t like our staff to view the customer as an adversary

We’ve used Garland air decks, Blodgett 1000s, and Marsal deck ovens. We did the opposite switch from air deck to stone deck (marsal ovens) at one of our locations and got a TON of positive feedback and a steady increase in sales. We’re in the Philly area where there’s a pizza store on every...

We did well with 2 big coupons on a postcard. “$1 off any Medium Pizza” “$2 off any Large or Extra Lg Pizza” nice and simple and if I get one a few years from now I can still accept it.

This is what we do too

I am trying out a Univex pizza spinner next Monday at the Ferraro Foods show. Our Ferrero rep says that you don’t have to change anything in your dough recipe because the machine spins the dough on felt pads rather than pressing the dough like a typical pizza press. The spinning is meant to...

We make all of our dough, sauce, and shred our cheese for 9 locations in one commissary. We love the consistency that this get us. We’re able to do this with 1 full time and 2 part time employees using a 190 qt spiral mixer, dough rounder, and vemag 500 divider. Here’s our dough process. Make...

Mike, I am in nearby delaware county, pa. I don’t need the mixer, but I know someone that works for a major distributor that you’ve heard of that’s always been able to sell extra mixers for me. He does all the work of moving it too. Feel free to shoot me a message and I can give you his name and...

I currently own/operate 2 stores. One has the Marsal MB-series ovens (not sure the exact model number) the other store has Marsal SD-1048’s. I used to run a store with the Y-series Baker’s Pride (again, forget the model number). I’m not a huge fan of the Marsal MB ovens, the wood handles break...

You can always ask a local pizzeria if you can buy some cheese from them. I just sold 25lbs to someone that needed it for a church function
