The DPP12N is a 12-inch diameter aluminium deep pizza pan with a non-stick coating. It handles thick-base, deep-dish, and pan-style pizza production in commercial deck ovens and convection units. Used by pizzerias, hotel kitchens, and catering operations running multiple simultaneous bakes.
Commercial Application
Deep pans allow higher dough volume per unit, producing thicker crusts without edge collapse. The non-stick surface reduces oil use and speeds pan turnover during high-volume service. Operators pre-load multiple pans during prep and rotate them through deck ovens in sequence.
During service, the pan sits directly on stone or steel decks, transferring base heat while containing side rise. Each pan yields one 12-inch pizza. Staff remove pans with metal peels, slice on separate boards, and return pans to wash stations within minutes.
Key Operational Advantages
- 12-inch diameter fits standard deck oven shelves and convection racks
- Aluminium construction offers quick heat transfer and low pan weight
- Non-stick coating reduces sticking on cheese-heavy or oil-light doughs
- Deep sidewalls contain thick dough expansion during baking
- CE-certified for commercial kitchen hygiene and safety compliance
- Compatible with gas and electric deck ovens operating at 230–290°C

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What oven temperature range does the DPP12N handle?
A: The non-stick coating is rated for continuous use up to 290°C. Most deck ovens for deep-dish pizza run between 230–260°C. Brief exposure to higher temperatures during broiler finishing does not damage the coating.
Q: Does the pan work on stone or steel deck surfaces?
A: The uncoated aluminium base works on both stone and steel decks. Stone decks provide slower, more even base heat. Steel decks offer faster recovery between bakes.
Q: Can the pan be used in gas and electric ovens?
A: Yes. Gas and electric deck ovens both operate within the pan's temperature range. Gas units may require slightly longer bake times due to humidity variation.
Q: How many pizzas does one pan produce per service?
A: Each pan produces one 12-inch pizza per bake cycle. Operators running 4–6 deck shelves rotate multiple pans continuously during peak service.
Q: What is the recommended dough weight per pan?
A: 280–350 grams of dough fills the pan for a typical deep-dish or thick-crust pizza. Lower weights produce thinner bases with higher sidewall rise.
