Faster Oven Cooks Like A Bat Out Of Hell

Hell Pizza has always been ahead of their game when it comes to delivering pizza with pizzazz, so we asked owners Mike Hird and Simon Kingi what makes the brand hot as… well, Hell!

With a name like Hell and tongue-in-cheek marketing promising a taste of the damned, it’s no surprise Hell Pizza has served themselves a giant slice of the pizza market in New Zealand. Now the chain has moved across the Tasman and, with pizzas named after the seven deadly sins and pastas, salads and ice cream on the menu, the co-owners believe Australians are sure to embrace the unique experience Hell Pizza offers.

“It’s been a leap of faith - taking over what has been such a successful chain in New Zealand and we are determined to maintain that high standard which has made the brand such a huge success,” Mr. Hird said.

“We are also determined to do our bit for the environment and we are committed to recycling all our plastics, glass bottles, paper and tin weekly as well as regularly changing our oil and safely discarding the waste.”

Further proof of the company’s commitment to reducing their carbon footprint is their use the new Middleby Marshall PS670 WOW! Oven, which is currently the most energy efficient on the market – meaning for Hell Pizza, the proof is in the pizza.

“Not only does this innovative oven slash cook times, but it also reduces running costs by up to 40 percent,” Mr Hird says, “The WOW! Oven can cook a Hell pizza in just over four minutes, increasing a store’s production capacity while offering customers devilishly fast delivery times (pun totally intended).

“We don’t need a double stack of ovens or a triple wide belt width to meet the demands during our peak service times. The new WOW! oven meets our capacities and saves us money at the same time,” Mike said.

“The oven also goes into an automatic energysaving sleep mode when food is not being cooked, then when it senses food on the conveyor, it forces the oven to full power,” Mr. Hird said.
