Integrated pizza oven in the delivery vehicle: The stove that goes with you.

How a Ticino entrepreneur and his father revolutionised our delivery fleet. And why your pizza arrives warm and crispy.

 The last mile is the hardest.

Baking a really good pizza is one thing.

Bringing her to you the way she left our furnace is the real challenge. This is precisely where an invention that we have trusted for over 25 years comes into play: the mobile pizza oven in our delivery vehicles.

From Ticino to the whole of Switzerland

The story begins in 1997 in Ticino. Entrepreneur Lorenzo asked his father, a trained archaeologist and passionate inventor, to develop a system for delivering warm pizzas for his home delivery service Speedy Meal.

They developed and patented it together: An electric system preheats the furnace to 100 degrees before departure, while the waste heat from the vehicle engine takes over the rest of the work via a heat exchanger on the road.

Air circulates between the interior and exterior wooden housing, which keeps heat and humidity in balance. Keeping the pizza crispy.

The test: a pizza after a 20-minute drive

In 1999, Lorenzo knocked on Rocco Delli Colli, founder of dix.

The test was very simple: try a pizza that had previously been in the oven for over 20 minutes. The result was convincing. dix ordered 40 furnaces, the beginning of a partnership that continues to this day. There are now more than 800 vehicles on the road, many of them still with the original system.

Since 2020, an enhanced, fully electronically controlled variant has also been in use: still preheating before departure, but maintaining temperature while driving via an auxiliary battery.

Quality doesn’t stop at the stove

Of course, the stove isn’t our only secret. There are a few other reasons why your pizza is so crunchy and delicious, but we’re happy to keep it to ourselves.

Because a good pizza alone isn’t enough, our ambition doesn’t stop at baking. Wherever possible, we deliver with our fleet of electric scooters and electric vehicles. After all, quality does not arise by chance, but wherever you make no compromises.
