Accelerate food assembly while keeping backup ingredient stock instantly visible. The Glass Door Pizza Top Underbar Fridge combines a refrigerated, raised ingredient topping rail with a high-visibility, commercial cold storage base. Designed specifically for high-turnover pizzerias, sandwich bars, salad prep stations, and burger kitchens, it ensures your fresh garnishes and backup supplies remain within arm’s reach and strictly preserved within safe food hygiene temperatures.
Below the preparation counter, double-glazed glass doors allow kitchen staff to monitor backup ingredient stock levels at a glance without constantly opening doors and letting cold air escape. Constructed with commercial 430 satin-finish stainless steel, high-density injected polyurethane insulation, and self-closing door hinges, this prep station withstands daily culinary wear. Complete with internal auto-evaporation drainage and heavy-duty lockable castors, it provides a mobile, plug-and-play prep solution.

Q: What is the operational benefit of glass doors on a pizza prep fridge compared to solid stainless steel doors?
A: Glass doors allow prep chefs and kitchen staff to check backup ingredient stock levels without pulling the doors open. This reduces the frequency and duration of door openings during peak service hours, keeping internal temperatures stable and lowering overall energy draw.
Q: How does the raised topping rail maintain safe ingredient temperatures during open service?
A: The top well uses cold-wall cooling channels that circulate chilled air around the sides and bottoms of the Gastronorm pans. This creates a protective thermal pocket that holds toppings consistently within the +2°C to +6°C food safety zone, even while the prep lids remain open during busy rushes.
Q: Does the unit require a plumbing connection for defrost water?
A: No plumbing or external floor drain is needed. The fridge is engineered with an internal auto-evaporation system that collects defrost water and uses the compressor’s natural heat to evaporate it automatically, keeping commercial kitchen floors clean and dry.
Built for high-pressure commercial catering setups, this pizza prep workstation streamlines kitchen workflow by pairing top-deck assembly with instant undercounter inventory checks. The top refrigerated well accepts standard Gastronorm (GN) pans, keeping sliced cheeses, sauces, cooked proteins, and fresh toppings chilled during busy service rushes. A fold-down stainless steel insulated cover protects ingredients from airborne contaminants and preserves energy during kitchen prep lulls.
Breakthrough technology replaces a conventional thermostat with an advanced electronic energy management system to cool quicker and maintain a more consistent temperature, while saving precious electricity.
By combining EMD control with ECM fans, electronic expansion valves and high-performance coils, we are able to further reduce energy consumption while improving cooling performance.
Our innovative swift swop™ technology enables easy replacement of the refrigeration deck without unpacking the contents of the fridge and without any skilled labour.
