Wooden Pizza Platters & Boards
You can hear a good pizza base before you taste it. Put it on a cold ceramic plate and the steam has nowhere to go, so the crust turns soft within minutes. Put it on wood and the base stays crisp longer, the cheese stays hot and the pizza arrives looking the way the chef sent it out. That is why a wooden pizza platter is still the first choice in most pizzerias and hotel restaurants.
Makrey has supplied hotel restaurants and cafés across India since 1981. This collection has nine wooden pizza platters, pizza boards and pizza bats, from a 6" personal board to an 18" sharing platter, in plain wood, bark edge and enamel finishes.
Wooden Pizza Platters and Pizza Boards for Restaurants
Round Wooden Pizza Board
The plain round wooden pizza board comes in the widest size range: 8", 9", 10", 12", 14", 16" and 18". It is the everyday pizza platter for restaurant service, from a single personal pizza to a large sharing pie in the middle of the table.
Pizza Platter with Handle
Handled platters are easier for servers to carry and easier for guests to pass around. Choose from 6" to 14" in one wood, 9", 11" and 13" in a second wood, and a single 14" in a third. The smaller sizes double as a pizza serving plate for starters, garlic bread and kids’ menus.
Pizza Platter with Bark Edge
The bark edge platter keeps the natural edge of the wood, so no two pieces look exactly alike. It comes in 9", 11" and 13" and suits cafés and rustic restaurants that want something less uniform on the table.
Enamel Finish Pizza Platters
The enamel finish platter with handle comes in 10" and 12", and a second enamel platter comes in 12". The enamel surface is smooth and quick to wipe clean between services, which suits busy outlets turning tables fast.
Pizza Bats
Pizza bats are flat wooden boards for serving, not for use inside an oven. The rectangular pizza bat is 14" x 8" with an extended 5" handle, and the square pizza bat comes in 9", 10.5" and 12". A square bat works well as a pizza serving board for square-cut pizzas, flatbreads and focaccia.
Choosing the Right Pizza Platter Size
Match the board to the pizza, with a little room to spare for the cutter and the server’s hand:
- 6" to 8": personal pizzas, starters and kids’ menus.
- 9" to 10": a regular single pizza.
- 12" to 14": a medium sharing pizza for two or three guests.
- 16" to 18": large sharing pizzas and pizza boards for a buffet counter.
Most outlets need two or three sizes, not one. If you need one wooden pizza platter hotels can use across all-day dining, room service and poolside menus, start with the plain round board in two or three sizes.
Pizza Platters on the Table and the Buffet
On the table, serve chilli flakes and oregano in small dispensers next to each platter. On a buffet, lift pizza boards on risers and elevations and label each pizza with buffet tag holders. For other wooden serving pieces, browse our platters and boards, wooden cheese platters and salad bowls and platters.
Caring for Wooden Pizza Boards
Wipe the board with a damp cloth and mild soap after service and dry it standing on its edge. Never soak a wooden board or put it in a dishwasher, as water makes wood swell and crack. Rub plain wood boards with a food-grade mineral oil once or twice a month to stop them drying out. Enamel finish platters only need a wipe and a dry.
A food safe wooden pizza board depends on its surface: plain, unvarnished wood treated only with food-grade oil, or a finish made for food contact. Ask our team for the finish details of any board before you order.
Bulk Pizza Platters for Hotel Chains and Restaurants
A new pizzeria or a hotel opening usually orders platters in two or three sizes, plus spares, so the same board can be replaced later. We quote bulk pizza platters hotel chains can roll out across every outlet in the same wood and finish, with GST billing and delivery across India. For a wooden pizza platter India’s restaurant groups can reorder for years, stick to one wood and one finish across all outlets. For the rest of the table, see our full tableware and crockery range.
Pizza Platter FAQs
Is a pizza platter wooden or ceramic better for a restaurant?
Wood is usually better. It keeps the base crisp for longer and looks warmer on the table, while a cold ceramic plate can make the crust go soft.
Can I use a pizza wooden board as a pizza cutting board?
Yes, you can slice pizza on our boards. Light knife marks are normal on wood and do not affect use. Oil the board regularly so the surface stays smooth.
Why are most pizza boards wood and not metal?
Wood does not get as hot or as cold as metal, so it is easier to hold, protects the table and keeps the crust from steaming.
