Key Features & Technical Specs

Powerful Heating System

Temperature Range: Standard models reach 700–950°F (370–510°C), while high-temp variants go up to 1,000°F (540°C)—ideal for achieving the signature charred crust and “leopard spotting” of Neapolitan-style pizza.

Heat Retention: Uses cordierite, refractory brick, or steel hearth materials to lock in heat, ensuring rapid cook times (60–90 seconds per pizza) and preserving moisture in ingredients.

Fuel Flexibility: Available in wood-fired, gas, electric, or hybrid (dual-fuel) options, with heat outputs ranging from 15,000–100,000+ BTU.

Durable & Space-Saving Build

Exterior: 304-grade stainless steel or powder-coated steel for rust resistance and easy cleaning.

Interior: 2–4” thick ceramic fiber insulation to minimize heat loss, paired with 1–2” thermal mass stone/brick floors for even heat distribution.

Dimensions: Model-specific sizes (e.g., GL-4T: 950×880×435mm cabinet, 660×660×160mm inner liner; GL-01: 496×490×350mm cabinet) to suit different spaces.

Efficiency & Control

Fast Preheating: 15–45 minutes (vs. 60+ minutes for traditional ovens), saving time for busy operations.

Precision Monitoring: Equipped with infrared thermometers for real-time temperature checks; gas/electric models include thermostats with ±10°F accuracy, while wood-fired versions use manual airflow dampers.

Energy Savings: Wood/gas models use 30–50% less energy than conventional ovens, reducing operational costs.

Ideal Applications

Commercial Use: Pizzerias

Pizzerias of all sizes benefit from the GLEAD Pizza Oven’s versatility—traditional wood-fired setups cater to artisanal pie lovers, delivering authentic charred crusts and bold flavors that keep customers returning. For fast-casual pizzerias with high order volumes, the oven’s conveyor system variant can handle 50–200+ pizzas per hour, ensuring quick service during peak lunch or dinner rushes. The precise temperature control also allows chefs to experiment with different crust styles, from thin and crispy to thick and chewy, expanding the menu to appeal to a wider audience.

Commercial Use: Restaurants & Bars

Restaurants and bars with open kitchens use the wood-fired GLEAD Pizza Oven as a focal point, turning pizza preparation into a visual experience that engages diners. This not only enhances the ambiance but also builds trust in the freshness of the food. For back-of-house operations, compact electric models fit into tight spaces while still delivering restaurant-quality results, making them ideal for establishments that want to add pizza to their menu without overhauling their kitchen layout. The oven’s ability to roast vegetables and cook meats also lets chefs create versatile side dishes or main courses, maximizing its value beyond pizza.

Commercial Use: Food Trucks

Food trucks rely on equipment that balances performance and portability, and the GLEAD Pizza Oven’s propane-powered variant fits this need perfectly. Its compact design takes up minimal space in the truck, while its fast preheating (15–45 minutes) ensures the truck can start serving quickly at different locations—from festivals to street corners. The oven’s durable stainless steel exterior withstands the vibrations and temperature changes of mobile operations, and its ability to cook pizzas in 60–90 seconds keeps lines short, helping food truck owners serve more customers and boost revenue.

Home & Outdoor Use: Backyards

Home cooks who love hosting backyard gatherings will appreciate the GLEAD Pizza Oven’s ability to replicate restaurant-quality pizzas at home. The wood-fired model adds a rustic touch to parties, letting hosts interact with guests while preparing food, and its rapid cook time means guests don’t have to wait long for fresh slices. The oven’s versatility also shines here—beyond pizza, it can roast burgers, cook fish, or bake garlic bread, making it a central piece for outdoor meals. Its compact size fits most backyard patios, and the easy-to-clean exterior ensures maintenance doesn’t cut into leisure time.

Home & Outdoor Use: Small Kitchens

For home cooks with small kitchens, compact electric models like GL-01 or GL-02 are game-changers. They fit on countertops or in storage cabinets when not in use, eliminating the need for bulky permanent installation. Despite their size, these models still reach the high temperatures needed for perfect pizza crusts, and their energy efficiency keeps utility bills low. The oven’s ability to bake cookies, toast bread, or reheat leftovers also makes it a daily-use appliance, not just a specialty tool—maximizing its value for small-space living.

FAQ

What voltage options are available for GLEAD Pizza Ovens?

Models offer 220–240V (for smaller units like GL-01/GL-02) or 380V~3N (for high-power commercial models like GL-8T), ensuring compatibility with global electrical systems.

Can I cook more than just pizza in this oven?

Yes! It’s versatile enough to roast vegetables, cook meats, and bake bread—its even heat distribution enhances flavor and texture across all dishes. For example, roasted bell peppers and zucchini from the oven have a smoky sweetness that complements salads or pastas, while baked bread has a crispy crust and soft interior, rivaling bakery-quality loaves.

What maintenance is required for wood-fired models?

Weekly ash removal is essential to prevent buildup that can affect heat distribution; simply scoop out ash once the oven is cool. Monthly scrubbing of the stone/brick interior with a stiff brush removes food residue and prevents it from burning onto future dishes. For hybrid models with gas components, an annual inspection by a professional ensures the burner and gas lines are in good condition, reducing the risk of leaks or malfunctions.
