Pizza oven repair in Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay bakes pizza on lanais, pool decks and waterfront patios nearly all year, and in neighborhood pizzerias and delivery shops from Tampa to St. Petersburg. Salt air, humidity and summer downpours soak domes and rust steel flues, and frequent lightning takes out the digital controls of electric deck and conveyor ovens. Before a hurricane the gas is closed and the oven covered, and a soaked dome is dried with small fires before a full bake.

What Tampa Bay does
to a pizza oven.

Ybor City, founded beside Tampa in the 1880s by cigar maker Vicente Martinez Ybor, filled up with immigrants from Cuba, Spain and Italy who rolled hundreds of millions of cigars a year.

Sicilian-born Francisco Ferlita opened La Joven Francesca in Ybor City in 1896, most likely the first commercial bakery in the country to turn out Cuban bread.

A 1922 fire destroyed Ferlita's bakery except for its large brick oven, and the original ovens can still be seen inside what is now the Ybor City State Museum.

Columbia Restaurant, opened in Ybor City in 1903 as Saloon Columbia, is the oldest continuously operated restaurant in Florida and takes up an entire city block.

The counties

A second pizza oven

A second pizza oven wired or piped from an existing line may share a circuit or a gas supply with the first, and when both run, a slow preheat or a tripped breaker points to that shared supply rather than a problem inside either oven.

On the water

When a hurricane or a coastal storm is forecast, a pizza oven by salt water has its gas closed at the shutoff, its door shut and its chimney capped, and afterward it stays cold until the burner box and the dome have been checked for water.

Backyard pizza nights

A pizza oven built onto a masonry base traps heat beneath its floor, and without openings in that base the burner valve and igniter module cook along with the pizza, which is why a failing valve there prompts a look at the base's airflow.

The work,
in Tampa Bay.

Ten pizza oven repairs, cheapest first, each with what Tampa Bay changes about it.

What we do

Pizza oven diagnostic visit

A diagnostic visit around Tampa Bay often meets a gas pizza oven on a screened lanai or a stone dome in a bayside yard, and the technician first asks when it last rained, since a dome that drank a summer storm heats slowly and reads wrong until it is dried.

Pizza oven cleaning and safety inspection

A Tampa Bay safety inspection before hurricane season checks a gas pizza oven's shutoff, hose and burner, and after a storm the oven stays unlit until the technician has checked the burner box for water and the dome for soaking.

Pizza oven burner and igniter repair

Gulf humidity leaves a film of moisture on igniter electrodes overnight, so on Tampa Bay patios a gas pizza oven that clicks without catching often needs its electrode cleaned and regapped before a new igniter is ordered.

Pizza oven gas valve and thermocouple repair

Thermocouples on Tampa Bay pizza ovens corrode where they meet the gas valve, and a pilot that holds only while the knob is pressed usually means that tip or its connection, which a technician replaces with the gas shut off.

Pizza oven door and chimney repair

Tampa Bay's humid breeze can reverse the draw in a short pizza oven chimney, sending smoke out of the mouth instead of up, so chimney visits there look at the flue's height, its cap and any soot or nest blocking the path.

Pizza oven floor and dome repair

Tampa Bay's summer downpours soak an uncovered masonry dome through its outer render, and steam forming under a hot first fire can split it, so dome repairs there begin with drying fires built small and raised over several days.

Pizza oven thermostat and control repair

Summer lightning around Tampa Bay takes out control boards on electric deck ovens and rapid-cook units, and a pizza shop there that finds a blank display after a storm has it traced from the outlet to the board.

Deck oven element and deck repair

Electric deck ovens in Tampa Bay pizzerias and hotel kitchens lose elements to heavy daily use, and a deck that browns one side of a pie faster than the other is often a single burned element, found with a meter on the cold oven.

Conveyor oven belt and motor repair

Conveyor ovens in Tampa Bay's delivery pizzerias run without a break through game nights, and a belt that stalls or jerks is traced to a worn drive chain, a stretched belt or a tired motor before the weekend rush returns.

Pizza oven blower and fan repair

Impingement blowers inside Tampa Bay conveyor ovens pull humid air and grease through their fans, and a blower that grinds or slows leaves pies pale on top, so the technician cleans the wheel and checks its bearings and motor.

we see most here.
