Beyond Pizzerias: Why Marana Pizza Ovens Are Delivering Serious ROI

Recently, Cristina Passilongo, Marana’s Head of Strategy and Operations sat down with Maida Pineda from Restaurant Business to explore why restaurants beyond traditional pizzerias are increasingly investing in Marana pizza ovens – and seeing strong returns as a result. As more pubs, clubs, hotels and multi-concept venues look to diversify menus, pizza is emerging as a high-margin, operationally efficient addition that resonates with a wide range of customers.

The discussion highlights how Marana pizza ovens are being used far beyond their original purpose, supporting flexible service models, improving speed and consistency, and ultimately driving stronger profitability across venues that may never have considered themselves “pizza-first”.

For operators curious about how adding pizza might fit into their specific operation, Marana has developed a Pizza Calculator Tool (Lite) – a simple calculator that considers your service style, volume and kitchen needs to suggest the most suitable type of oven for your business. This tool was developed to provide a way to help you assess the right Marana oven for your goals and constraints, and gives you a head-start on your journey to high ROI pizza.
