Take a step inside a pizza food trailer to see how the team at 451 set up their food trailer for maximum efficiency. • The Perfect Food Truck... - Pizza Oven
WOW This is a Well Oiled Business... EXCELLENT VIDEO... I am seriously considering "Decking OUT" my Vintage Travel Trailer for a Pizza Trailer here in New Mexico (US) How much do you sell your Pizza now in 2023? How much do you sell your slices? That is a GREAT Idea... (truthfully never thought of just selling by the slice). Thank you all for a great video... This Pizza Trailer is EXCELLENT... Well Thought Out.
@@CustomTrailerPros THANK Y'ALL for taking the time to reply... because I know you're busy, busy, busy... You have no idea what this means to me... I have to know... Why did you name your Pizza Biz... 451 Pizza? ... That is such a cool name... Clean and simple and easy to remember...
@@judichristopher4604 - We are the dealer who sold the trailer to the customer who operates it, so we aren't totally sure where the name comes from other than the things you said - it is simple and easy to remember.
My dream for years has been to open my own food service business. I have been leaning towards a food truck or trailer and the thing I cook better than anything else is pizza. What I am grappling with is not knowing how much dough I would need to keep on hand. Most foods you can just keep cranking out and if you run out of an ingredient you can send someone to go get more. But with pizza it's different. You have to have enough dough made and fermented ahead of time and proofing ready to be made or you have no product. And when you run out, you're done making pizza for the day. Thats the one thing I can't figure out, and no one ever seems to discuss how much dough they keep on hand.
You can't say how much until you open and see how busy you are. Once you've been open, mess up a bunch, then start to get the flow of customer volume, rush times, etc...
The good thing about Pizza Dough... you need more than enough... because you can always use that dough the next day... pizza dough is always better 24 hours later anyway. I think you can FREEZE it... I never have but it's best to make more than you'll think you'll need.
@@judichristopher4604 dont know if they still do - but dominos use to make their dough the day before - put all pre made bases in the fridge for use the next day.. this was 20 years ago but yeah.. their pizza use to taste better then too hah
@@devilastic Thank you for that info. I think dough needs to sit//ref. at least 2 day so it can ferment. Everything taste better the next day. BAHAHAHAHA
Guys i am from Australia and thinking of opening a food trailer powered through diesel generator. so i wonder what kind of energy would i need to get same sort of pizza ovens going? anyone
Thanks for reaching out! There are several ways to look at financing. If you have a good relationship with your bank, talking to them could be a great place to start. If that is not an option, you can go here to apply with a lender who has helped a lot of our customers - www.customtrailerpros.com/financing/
It is time saved, but also helps keep pizzas consistent. Either way that same space will be used to hand roll the pizzas or use the machine. I imagine some people are better served hand rolling, while others prefer the automated process.
The ovens do vent through the smoke stack in this trailer, but your fire marshall will be the one to determine if you are required to have a hood or not, as well as fire suppression.

What is the benefit of using a pizza roller? Is the time saved really worth all that precious space? Just curious.
It is time saved, but also helps keep pizzas consistent. Either way that same space will be used to hand roll the pizzas or use the machine. I imagine some people are better served hand rolling, while others prefer the automated process.
No
I was going to ask this, space and cost 😂
Toss them
where do you prepare the food, do you rent commercial kitchen or at home ?
Thanks for the question! The dough is not made in the trailer, but everything else is.
What is your pizza dough recipe? Or do you just buy frozen?
Where can I buy the pizza oven?
Hi Haya, you can find that pizza oven here - cookshack.com/products/wood-fired-pizza-oven-model-pz400
I notice this trailer does not have a vent hood? So the ovens vent through the smoke stack out the roof? No need for a fire suppression system either
