Curious what everyone does for ham topping for there pizzas. I had been getting a quartered ham product but the quality of it seems to have dropped significantly and we also keep getting like bags of it in that are rotten. It’s the only pre sliced and portioned pizza ham my supplier has though so I’m trying to figure out other options.
 
I use Dearborn Pit Ham, we slice it ourself. When going on pizzas we just hand tear big slices. Customers love the flavor of it, great quality
 
What meat slicer did you use and how thick did you slice your ham? I don’t currently have a slicer but it’s something I am currently considering
 
We used a Berkel 12” similar to this:

What should one look for when buying a slicer? Motor hp? Blade size? Auto cutter? What sets the garbage apart from the gold standard?
 
I have an old hobart slicer, we qrt the ham and slice super thin, i dont know the number off hand, not to thick, probably about the thickness of a business card
 
I actually bought a second slicer off www.meatyourmaker.com. i bought their larger one 10" blade. Im so disappointed with it i put it on the shelf and keep using my ancient hobart. Neither one is auto, i prefer to have control over slicing and stand right there. Go to the web above and check out theirs. I just dont like it as it seems a bit small for slicing the ham even when quartered

Its perceived for commercial use. So yeah not happy as i now have a $400 paper weight sitting around. It has great power with built in sharpener, just truly not meant for commercial use.

We get a 3/8" or 3/16’’ (depends on the substitute) diced cube ham. Comes in a 10lb case, 2 5lb bags. I believe it’s a Hormel product. Nice coverage
 
We hand cut veg, i have a pelican cheese grater attachment for my hobart, i pulled my monster hobart slicer back out of storage
 
We use a Berkel 180D to slice our cheese
we use a Hobart 1712 slicer which has the auto feature for ham and salami
we use Sugardale Country Inn whole boneless hams, once sliced cut in half or quarters $3-3.85 lb
