The Bakers Pride Oven Company was founded in The Bronx, New York, in the mid-1940s by entrepreneurs committed to revolutionizing food service equipment. The company's breakthrough invention — the factory-built, gas-fired ceramic deck pizza oven — transformed pizza production forever. What began as a single innovation has evolved into a comprehensive line of professional cooking equipment trusted by the world's finest restaurants and bakeries.
Bakers Pride is now part of the Middleby Corporation, a global leader in commercial kitchen equipment. This partnership ensures continued innovation, access to advanced engineering, and robust support for equipment worldwide. Bakers Pride operates with a dealer network spanning the globe, providing equipment, parts, and service support to foodservice professionals.
The company's philosophy remains unchanged: engineer equipment that endures years of high-volume use while delivering consistent results that chefs depend on.
