Bakers Pizzeria: A Professional Italian Dining Brand

  Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Shanghai, Bakers Pizzeria  is an Italian casual dining chain built on a simple belief: authentic Italian flavors should be accessible to everyone. The brand’s story began when its founder, Richard, traveled to Italy and fell in love with the country’s food culture—eventually partnering with a Neapolitan chef to bring genuine Italian pizza to China .

Over nearly two decades, Bakers Pizza has grown into a recognized name in China’s casual Western dining segment, operating stores across major commercial districts in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and beyond . Its menu goes beyond pizza to include pasta, risotto, steak, and desserts, but pizza remains the heart of the brand. Its signature foie gras pizza earned the championship at the 2016 Shanghai International Pizza Masters . The brand positions itself as a step above fast-food pizza—offering a sit-down dining experience with quality ingredients, table service, and an atmosphere suited for family gatherings, dates, and casual business meals .

The Challenge: Delivering Premium Pizza at a Mid-Range Price Point

Unlike quick-service pizza chains, Bakers Pizzeria operates as a full-service Western restaurant with a higher average ticket price. Customers dining here expect more than convenience—they expect a pizza that looks, smells, and tastes like it was made with care.

This created a specific challenge for their kitchen:

• Baking quality is non-negotiable. At Bakers Pizzeria’s price point, a soggy center, uneven browning, or a crust that lacks structure is immediately noticeable. The pizza must deliver on texture and appearance every single time.

• Consistency across a multi-store network. With locations spread across multiple provinces, Bakers Pizzeria needs equipment that produces the same result regardless of which kitchen is operating it.

• Efficiency without compromise. A full-service restaurant cannot afford slow bake times or inconsistent throughput during peak hours. The oven must keep up with dine-in demand while maintaining quality.

Standard ovens often struggle to balance these demands—especially with the varied dough styles and topping loads that a professional pizza restaurant requires.

The Bakers Rock Solution.

We equipped Bakers Pizza with our conveyor impinger oven, configured specifically for the demands of a professional pizza restaurant.

1. High-quality bake, every time.
Our impinger oven delivers consistent heat distribution and airflow, producing a pizza with a properly baked crust, even browning, and the structural integrity that a dine-in restaurant demands. No hot spots, no undercooked centers.

2. Built for professional kitchens.
Unlike countertop models designed for low-volume settings, our oven handles the throughput of a busy restaurant kitchen—keeping pace with dine-in orders without sacrificing bake quality.

3. Standardization across locations.
The same oven, the same settings, the same result. Bakers Pizza can replicate its signature pizza quality across every store, reducing reliance on individual operator skill.
