Raising the Bar in QSR, Pizzerias and Hospitality Kitchens: Enrico Sgarbossa on PizzaMaster Ovens and MFItaly Mixers

In hospitality kitchens and pizza shops, speed, consistency, and reliability can make or break a service. For seasoned pizzaiolo and brand ambassador Enrico Sgarbossa, investing in premium pizza equipment hasn’t only elevated the quality of his delicious pizzas; it’s also transformed the way his kitchens operate.

From faster cooking times to energy-efficient solutions, Enrico shares why PizzaMaster ovens and MFItaly dough mixers have become essential for modern pizzerias, restaurants, and hospitality venues across Australia.

Why Premium Pizza-Making Equipment Matters

“A high-performance pizza oven is your best friend during service. When you’re loading the oven non-stop for 3-4 hours, you need fast recovery time to ensure every pizza comes out with consistent quality. PizzaMaster excels here.” – Enrico Sgarbossa

Many operators learn the hard way that cutting costs on pizza equipment often leads to slower workflows, uneven crust results, and higher maintenance costs over time. According to Enrico, high-performance ovens and dough mixers improve pizza-making consistency, reduce staff stress during peak hours, and deliver a better experience for both customers and teams.

 

The Game-Changer: PizzaMaster Ovens

Globally recognised for reliability and performance, PizzaMaster ovens are built for the demands of busy kitchens and pizza stores. Enrico’s first encounter with them confirmed the hype:

“I was truly impressed by its performance, fast recovery, and the simple yet smart user interface.” – Enrico Sgarbossa

Why these are the best pizza equipment for hospitality:

  • Fast recovery times: Keep up during back-to-back pizza making without compromising quality. PizzaMaster ovens are often quicker than conveyor pizza ovens, whilst achieving the quality that was once only possible from wood fired pizza ovens!
  • Versatility: Perfect for everything from thin-crust Roman pizzas to focaccia, pastries, and even bread dough.
  • Energy management: They are upfront about how different settings affect energy consumption, helping chefs plan smarter and run more energy-efficient kitchens in the long term.

 

MFItaly Mixers: Perfect Pizza Dough Every Time

“In pizza, there are no real secrets-but if there’s one key step, it’s the dough mixing process.” – Enrico Sgarbossa

MFItaly dough mixers are engineered for consistency and flexibility. From low-hydration thin crusts to high-hydration contemporary bases, they handle a variety of pizza-making processes with ease. The machine runs for hours without compromise, ensuring quality and temperature-consistent dough for operational peace of mind.

For high-volume kitchens and pizza makers, this means smoother workflows, less waste, and dough that's always ready when you are.

Boosting Efficiency and ROI

Enrico emphasises that quality equipment isn’t just about better food – it’s about creating a smarter business:

  • Reduced downtime and maintenance (Enrico hasn’t changed a light bulb in five years).
  • Faster preheat times (ovens reach temperature in 40 minutes).
  • Simplified training (beginner pizzaiolos can operate efficiently).
  • Long-term savings through durability and retained resale value.

“Choosing quality equipment is an investment that pays off in time, money, and quality of life at work.” – Enrico Sgarbossa

Meeting the Demands of Modern Hospitality

The shift toward electric ovens is no longer a trend but a standard. Electric units now outperform traditional wood-fired ovens in consistency, speed, and sustainability, without sacrificing flavour.

“Most of the time, if I don’t say I’m using an electric oven, customers assume the pizza came from a woodfired one. That tells you how far performance has come.” – Enrico Sgarbossa

This evolution supports modern kitchens that are aiming to manage heat more efficiently and reduce environmental impact.

Looking Ahead

With styles like Roman pizza and thin and crispy bases gaining popularity, chefs are pushing creative boundaries while scaling operations. PizzaMaster ovens and MFItaly dough mixers give kitchens the control and freedom they need for pizza making, helping them craft delicious creations and keep loyal customers coming back.

“Good equipment gives you the opportunity to play, to experiment and craft what you really want to offer.” – Enrico Sgarbossa
