See What’s Happening at the International Pizza Expo!
The International Pizza Expo and Conference is coming up March 28-30 in Las Vegas.
Whether you’re able to attend this fun event or just wish you could, we’ve got all the saucy details right here.
A fresh batch of hot pizza products has arrived to help your operation improve efficiencies and save across the board.
We may also be able to save you a little dough with opportunities to win free equipment, even if you can’t make it to Vegas for the show.
Save on Ingredients and Safeguard Quality
Did you know that pre-shredded cheese has additives like potato starch, powdered cellulose (also known as wood pulp), and natamycin? Anyone know what that even is? These additives add bulk and help keep the cheese from molding and clumping, but they can also prevent it from melting properly.
What’s the answer? Shred your own cheese, so you’ll know exactly what’s on your pie and get the quality, finished product you and your customers are looking for.
Sammic’s Combi Prep Models CK-35V, CK-38V, CK-45V, and CK-48V are versatile machines that allow you to quickly swap heads to change from cheese shredding to Bowl Processing for sauces.
FWE (Booth 1657) will be highlighting their indispensable pizza hot holding and dough proofing cabinets, and this year they’re especially excited to introduce their new Refrigerated Dough Retarder (RD-10).
The RD-10 is designed specifically to aid in the dough retardation process for a consistently perfect dough ball every time. Reaching retardation temperature within 10 minutes, the RD-10 ensures that your dough will progress at your ideal fermentation rate. This allows your dough to reach the maximum rich and complex flavor.

Speaking of saving precious ingredients, Cambro (booth 2322) will be bringing their brand new CamSquares FreshPro line to the pizza market for the first time at this year’s show.
This new food storage system enhances freshness, food safety, efficiency, and ease of use in general.
Fresh Pro’s color-coordinated Easy Seal Covers seal tightly to keep food fresh while still being easy to remove, recessed handles provide 25% more storage capacity so more containers and inventory will fit on a shelf, and rounded corners make pouring from the corners easy and comfortable.
Drain shelves, also color-coordinated by container size, extend the shelf life of ingredients like sliced or chopped tomatoes by holding them up out of their own juices.
Cambro will also be showcasing their Pizza Dough Boxes for keeping dough fresh during storage.
Boxes stack together tightly to keep dough fresh and prevent crusting while keeping contaminants out.
Keep Production Moving
Transport and store pans of pre-made pizzas, fresh baked pizzas, and rolled pizza dough with NewAge Industrial (booth 2531) Adjustable Pizza Pan Racks. Designed to adjust to fit multiple pizza pan sizes, these rolling racks adjust in 1" increments to hold pans ranging in size from 10" to 16". Each section adjusts so that the racks can hold differing pan sizes at the same time.
Prep and Bake Fast
The Aperion is Lincoln’s fastest oven, reducing cook times by up to 20% versus their Fast Bake ovens and traditional competitive impingement ovens.
The Aperion is the first Lincoln oven to have independent top and bottom air flow which eliminates the need for unique finger configurations. Simply adjust the bottom and/or top air flow setting, and the oven responds immediately to optimize the culinary characteristics of any product. It also features a hinge and removable front door for easy cleaning.
Welbilt will also be exhibiting the latest pizzeria equipment solutions including refrigerated prep tables, refrigerators, and freezers by Delfield; Frymaster fryers; Merrychef accelerated ovens; and Merco hot holding stations.
Achieve Artisanal Quality with Less Labor
The OneRev bakes perfectly cooked artisanal pizzas in ONE ROTATION. A single setting cooks multiple-size pizzas with an assortment of toppings.
Loading and unloading is the only skill required, which means that limited employee training is needed to operate it. Center, underfloor, and finish flames assure consistent, even baking every time.
Boost Impulse Buys and Add-on Sales
The Hatco Flav-R-Savor Heated Air Curtain Merchandiser gives customers access to temperature-controlled hot foods such as personal pizzas, breadsticks, and wings without having to open doors to get to them.
Warm air at the top front of the cabinet is forced downward to form a “curtain” of heated air which is then drawn toward the rear of the cabinet. This air flow pattern effectively and safely keeps foods at ideal serving temperatures without doors getting in the way of quick, hygienic self-service.
Protection for the Last Mile
Hatco (booth 1201) will also be demonstrating their Flav-R2-Go® Floor Mount Pizza Locker System at the show. This heated locker system conveniently holds multiple hot pizza orders with quick and secure access for to-go orders.
Customers and delivery drivers can arrive and access their specific locker to retrieve orders without needing to interact with an employee, waiting, or disrupting on-premise service operations.
Each locker has a timer to hold pizzas for up to 45 minutes and is preset at 149°F, with a high temperature range up to 180°F. The heat can also be switched off for ambient holding.
The last thing you want is for the last mile to ruin your investment in quality ingredients and efforts to deliver delicious pizza, so protect your pies with Cambro GoBags Insulated Pizza Bags.
Cambro will be showing a wide variety of bags designed to hold anywhere from two to ten 16", 18", or 20" pizzas. With reinforced stitching and a tight seal to provide superior moisture control and temperature retention, these durable bags are also machine washable.
Add iced beverages to your delivery menu with Cambro GoBoxes and Beverage Holder Inserts designed specifically to keep beverages upright and refreshingly cold.
