History
[edit]Bakers Pride was founded in 1945 and began offering the Y-602 Double Pizza Oven. Many New York pizzerias purchased this oven for creating chef quality pizza. Some original models are still in operation.[1] The brand offers a full line of deck ovens and gas counter top ovens such as the VH-1828 series.[2] The GC182 oven features two separate 18 inch conveyors.[3]
Chef Jeff Pond of A4 Pizza stated he always used Bakers Pride ovens which, along with Blodgett and Marsal & Sons, are the most popular pizza ovens in the New York region.[4] The company also offers electric ovens which can produce up to four pies in 15 minutes.[5]
Acquisition
[edit]The brand was a subsidiary of Standex International. It was acquired by Middleby Corporation in 2019.
