The International Pizza Challenge and The Matador Store Electric Stone Hearth Oven… Perfect Together

And so it begins. Today is the first day of the International Pizza Challenge at Pizza Expo 2016. As in past years, WP Bakery Group USA proudly supplies our  WP Matador Store Electric Stone Hearth Oven for various uses throughout the Pizza Expo, including the International Pizza Challenge.

So… what’s it all about? Well… contestants (pizzaioli) bring their own ingredients and they bake a pizza from their pizza menu right there on the spot at Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. They present their pizzas to a panel of judges. Who are the judges? Impartial chefs, food critics and others from the pizzeria industry.

Ahhh… now see? That’s where our Matador Store Electric Stone Hearth Oven comes in. Our Matador is one fabulous oven for baking pizzas. Why else would the most important pizza-making competition in North America use it?

With its stainless steel body and handles, energy saving glass panes, and a lighted baking chamber, it allows you – and your customers – to watch as dough and sauce and cheese become pizza.
