Double Deep Pizza Racks
The PVI Double Deep Pizza Rack is built for high-volume pizza production environments that need a smarter way to proof, prep, stage, store, and transport pizza pans. Pizza operations depend on speed, consistency, space efficiency, and product visibility. When pans are spread across tables, stacked improperly, or moved without the right equipment, production slows down and product handling becomes less efficient.
The Double Deep Pizza Rack is designed as a stable mobile rack for large-volume production. It is built to hold a variety of pan sizes, move easily through the kitchen, and support multiple production stages. From dough prep to proofing, staging, storage, and transport, this rack helps pizza operations organize product and reduce unnecessary labor.
PVI’s design includes solid sheet aluminum uprights, laser-cut bent slides with no welds, an open slide design for easy cleaning, product visibility, and reduced contamination. The rack is available as a KD knock-down rack that ships small parcel in three boxes and is designed for easy assembly. The product also features a patented design, and optional accessories include locking casters, heavy-duty swivel casters, heavy-duty locking casters, bumpers, pan stops, and covers.
For pizza restaurants, commissaries, convenience store food programs, schools, stadiums, entertainment venues, commercial kitchens, and high-volume prep operations, the Double Deep Pizza Rack is designed to save labor, improve organization, and support consistent production.
Designed for Large-Volume Pizza Production
Pizza production is a process. Dough needs to be prepared. Pans need to be organized. Product may need to proof. Toppings may need to be staged. Finished or partially prepared items may need to move from one station to another. In high-volume environments, these steps can become difficult to manage without the right storage and transport equipment.
The Double Deep Pizza Rack is ideal for large-volume production because it provides vertical storage and mobility for pizza pans. Instead of using valuable table space for staging, operators can load pans into the rack and move them as needed.
This is especially useful during busy dayparts, catering production, school food service, stadium prep, and commissary operations where dozens of pans may be in process at once.
Proof, Prep, Stage, Store, and Transport
One of the strongest advantages of this rack is its versatility. PVI describes it as a labor-saving mobile pizza rack that can proof, prep, stage, store, and transport product. That means it can support multiple parts of the workflow rather than serving only as a storage rack.
During prep, pans can be loaded and staged for topping. During proofing, product can be organized vertically without consuming too much floor or table space. During service, the rack can help keep prepared pans ready for the oven. During storage or transport, it can move product efficiently between areas.
This kind of flexibility is valuable because food service operations often need equipment that can adapt throughout the day. The same rack may be used differently during morning prep, lunch rush, dinner production, and closing.
Holds a Variety of Pan Sizes
The Double Deep Pizza Rack is designed to hold a variety of pan sizes. PVI lists two width options. The 16″ wide version holds 12″ to 16″ pans or 8″ to 11″ pans centered. The 18″ wide version holds 14″ to 18″ pans or 10″ to 13″ pans centered.
This range is important because pizza operations often use more than one pan size. A restaurant may serve small, medium, and large pizzas. A commissary may support multiple brands or menu formats. A school or convenience store may use different pan sizes depending on product type.
A rack that can handle multiple pan sizes gives operators more flexibility and helps reduce the need for separate racks for every pan format.
Double Deep Design for Better Capacity
The double deep format allows the rack to hold more pans while maintaining a practical mobile footprint. PVI lists models with 40- and 48-pan capacities depending on shelf spacing. This makes the rack a strong fit for kitchens where production volume is high and space is limited.
Maximizing vertical storage is one of the best ways to improve kitchen efficiency. Floor space and table space are always at a premium. A double deep rack gives operators more storage capacity without spreading pans across the kitchen.
For high-volume pizza programs, this can help improve production flow and reduce the number of trips staff need to make between prep, proofing, storage, and cooking areas.
Solid Sheet Aluminum Uprights
The rack is built with solid sheet aluminum uprights. This gives the product structure and durability while maintaining aluminum’s rust-resistant benefits. In pizza operations, equipment is exposed to flour, dough, sauce, oil, cheese, moisture, and cleaning processes. Aluminum construction helps the rack stand up to that environment.
Solid sheet uprights also support the rack’s slide system and overall stability. A pizza rack needs to move while loaded, and staff need confidence that the rack will hold up to repeated daily use.
Laser-Cut Bent Slides with No Welds
PVI’s Double Deep Pizza Rack uses laser-cut bent slides with no welds. This design helps create a clean, consistent support system for pizza pans. Reducing welds in the slide area can also improve cleanability and reduce areas where food particles may collect.
In food service equipment, clean design matters. Racks should be easy to wipe down, inspect, and maintain. The slide design supports both functionality and sanitation.
Open Slide Design for Easy Cleaning
The rack features an open slide design for easy cleaning. This is a key benefit in pizza production, where sauce, cheese, flour, oil, and toppings can create buildup if equipment is hard to clean.
Open slides make it easier for staff to see and access the areas that need cleaning. This supports better sanitation and faster end-of-day maintenance. The open design also keeps product visible, which helps staff quickly identify what is loaded on the rack.
Product visibility is especially helpful during busy production. Staff can see what is ready, what is staged, and what needs to move next.
Helps Reduce Contamination
PVI notes that the open slide design helps reduce contamination. In a food service environment, equipment should support clean handling and product protection. Better visibility, easier cleaning access, and organized pan storage all contribute to a cleaner workflow.
When pans are stacked improperly or placed on random surfaces, contamination risk can increase. A dedicated rack helps keep pans organized in a controlled, repeatable system.
Optional Cover to Keep Product Moist and Fresh
A cover is available as an option for the Double Deep Pizza Rack. PVI notes that the cover helps keep product moist and fresh. This is especially useful during proofing, staging, and holding.
Dough and prepared pizza products can dry out if exposed too long. A cover helps protect product during production and can be valuable for operations that stage pans ahead of service.
For high-volume pizza production, maintaining product quality while improving efficiency is the goal. The optional cover supports both.
KD Rack for Small Parcel Shipping
The Double Deep Pizza Rack is offered as a KD knock-down rack that ships small parcel in three boxes and is designed for easy assembly. This is an important purchasing advantage. Large food service equipment can be expensive and difficult to ship. A knock-down design helps make delivery more manageable.
For dealers and operators, small parcel shipping can simplify logistics. Once received, the rack can be assembled and placed into service.
Optional Accessories
PVI offers several options for the Double Deep Pizza Rack, including locking casters, heavy-duty swivel casters, heavy-duty locking casters, bumpers, pan stops, and covers.
These options allow operators to tailor the rack to their workflow. Locking casters help keep the rack stationary during loading or staging. Heavy-duty caster options may be valuable in high-use environments. Bumpers can help protect the rack and surrounding equipment. Pan stops can help control pan movement. Covers help protect product quality.
