1,000+ pizzas. Two PizzaMaster 1100 Series ovens.

We’re proud to share our newest case study featuring Truly Pizza, the artisan pizza concept founded by World Pizza Champions John Arena, Chris Decker, and Michael Vakneen in Dana Point, California, made possible by Danna Baldwin and her husband, who funded both the concept and the real estate development.

When their existing oven platform started limiting throughput, the Truly Pizza team needed a solution that could scale high-volume production without sacrificing the artisan quality their reputation is built on. The answer? A side-by-side installation of the PM 1123 and PM 1133, the first known dual deployment of this configuration anywhere.

Today, Truly Pizza is regularly producing over 1,000+ pies a day on weekends, a testament to the ovens’ output potential and a strong foundation for the brand’s continued expansion plans.

The stress test results speak for themselves:

  • 600+ pizzas produced during a single-day stress test
  • 1,000+ pizzas during weekend production today
  • Improved crust color and bake consistency
  • Fully optimized kitchen workflow — zero bottlenecks
  • Scalable platform supporting Truly Pizza’s multi-unit expansion plans
  • And the response from the team was everything we could ask for

I have not seen a kitchen staffed this well anywhere. The PizzaMaster PM 1123 + PM 1133 supported this structured workflow without bottlenecks.”
