IKON IPP47 47 In. One-section Pizza Prep Table, (6) 1/3 GN Pans, R290, Self-Contained

IKON is a commercial refrigeration line built for foodservice operations that balance back-of-house prep with front-of-house visibility. The range covers reach-ins, glass door merchandisers, prep tables, undercounters, and bar units, giving operators flexibility across kitchen and service areas. Units are constructed with stainless steel and use R290 refrigerant, with digital temperature controls that are easy to read and adjust during service. Bottom-mounted refrigeration is common across the line, which helps in hotter kitchen environments and simplifies routine cleaning. IKON is often used in restaurants, convenience stores, and bars that need consistent performance across mixed refrigeration formats.

A pizza prep table is a refrigerated workstation with a stainless steel, granite, or marble top, a refrigerated pan rail for ingredients, and refrigerated storage doors or drawers below. Pizzerias, pizza shops, sandwich shops, restaurants, hotel banquet kitchens, and food trucks use them to assemble pizza pies in line with ingredients cold and within reach. The same equipment is also called a refrigerated pizza prep table, pizza prep refrigerator, pizza prep station, or pizza topping station.

The right pizza prep table depends on three things: counter footprint, pan count, and worktop material. Catalog widths run 44 to 119 inches with 1 to 4 doors and 7.8 to 39.9 cubic feet of refrigerated storage below. Topping rails hold 5 to 15 pans at 1/3 size pan capacity. Stainless steel is the standard worktop. Granite and marble worktop options suit operators who want a cool dense surface for hand-rolling pizza dough. Drawer-configuration units swap one or more doors for stacked drawers to organize prepped ingredients by recipe. Common configurations, buying guidance, and frequent buyer questions follow below.

Common Types and Configurations

• Standard refrigerated pizza prep table: Stainless steel worktop with a refrigerated topping rail above and refrigerated door storage below. Catalog units run 44 to 119 inches wide with 1 to 4 doors and 5 to 15 pan capacity. The default format for most pizzerias and pizza shops.
• Marble worktop pizza prep table: Refrigerated unit with a marble worktop in place of stainless. Marble holds cool temperature on the surface, which helps when hand-rolling pizza dough that would otherwise warm and stick. Catalog marble units run 60 inch widths with single or dual marble surfaces.
• Granite top pizza prep table: Refrigerated unit with a granite worktop. Granite resists scratches from pizza wheels and dough scrapers and gives the same cool-surface benefit as marble at a different price point. Catalog units run 59 to 80 inches wide with 2 to 3 doors.
• Refrigerated glass topping rail pizza prep: Topping rail uses refrigerated tempered glass instead of a stainless steel overshelf. Lets customers and chefs see the topping mise en place at the counter. Suited to display-front pizza counters and open-kitchen layouts.
• Pizza prep table with drawers: One or more doors replaced with stacked refrigerated drawers (2-drawer, 4-drawer, 6-drawer, or 8-drawer configurations). Drawers let the operator separate prepped ingredients by recipe or service period. Catalog drawer counts run 2, 4, 6, and 8 across multiple base widths.
• Multi-section pizza prep table: Two or three independently refrigerated sections under one cabinet, with a neutral storage zone in between for ambient ingredients. Suited to pizzerias that prep multiple dough types or mix pizza prep with charcuterie ingredients on the same line.
• Pizza dough retarder with prep top: Refrigerated dough retarder with a working top above. Slower-temperature variant tuned to hold proofed dough at a stable cold-retard temperature for next-day service. Common in artisan and Neapolitan pizzerias running cold-fermentation programs.
• Premium and competitor sub-series: Catalog includes multiple manufacturer sub-series with reinforced cabinet construction, R290 hydrocarbon refrigeration, or specific drawer and pan-count configurations. See Shop by Brand below for the full brand list.

What to Look at Before You Buy

• Counter footprint: Catalog widths run 44, 47-50, 60, 67-72, 80, 92-96, and 119 inches. Match width to counter run, factor in clearance for the cutting board cantilever, and confirm aisle width for full door swing. The 44 inch unit is the smallest pizzeria-grade format; the 119 inch unit covers a full pizza line in one cabinet.
• Door count and section count: One door fits small pizzerias and food trucks. Two doors fit mid-volume pizza shops. Three doors fit high-volume pizzerias with broader topping menus. Four doors fit chain-style lines and commissaries.
• Pan count and pan size: Catalog topping rails hold 5 to 15 pans. Most use 1/3 GN size 6 inch deep pans. Match pan count to topping variety: 5 to 6 pans for a focused menu, 8 to 9 pans for mid-variety, 12 to 15 pans for full topping bars.
• Worktop material: Stainless steel is fastest to clean and the lowest cost. Marble holds the coolest surface temperature for hand-rolling dough and reads as premium in front-of-house pizzerias. Granite resists scratches from pizza wheels and gives most of the cool-surface benefit of marble at a different price.
• Drawer vs door configuration: Doors give faster top-to-bottom access to bulk prep. Drawers separate prepped ingredients by recipe or service period and reduce reach time on a busy line. Drawer counts run 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the catalog.
• Refrigerated topping rail style: Standard stainless steel overshelf is the most common. Refrigerated glass topping rail lets customers see the ingredients (good for display-front pizzerias) at a premium over standard rail.
• Refrigerant and electrical: R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant on select catalog units lowers GWP versus legacy refrigerants. Confirm electrical service at the install location. Most units run 115V single-phase; larger units run 208 or 220V.
• Cleaning access: Removable pan rails, accessible door gaskets, and easy-clean stainless interiors matter for daily wash-down. Confirm tool-free pan removal and gasket replacement on units that run continuously during long pizzeria shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pizza prep table used for?

A pizza prep table is a refrigerated workstation where the pizza maker assembles pies. The refrigerated topping rail at the back holds prepped ingredients (cheese, pepperoni, vegetables, sauces) within arm's reach, kept cold for food safety. The work surface in front gives a cool stainless, granite, or marble area for hand-rolling and shaping the dough. The refrigerated cabinet below stores backup dough balls, bulk cheese, and pre-cut toppings. Pizzerias, pizza shops, sandwich shops, hotel banquet kitchens, and food trucks use them as the central assembly station for pizza, calzones, stromboli, and flatbread service.

What is the difference between a pizza prep table and a sandwich prep table?

The two formats are mechanically similar (refrigerated topping rail, cold work surface, refrigerated cabinet below) but tuned for different products. A pizza prep table has a deeper cabinet for larger dough balls and bulk pizza ingredients. It often has a deeper cutting board for hand-rolling dough. Many pizza prep tables also use a granite or marble worktop tuned to keeping dough cool during shaping. A sandwich prep table has a shallower cabinet sized for sandwich-portion ingredients, a smaller cutting board, and a standard stainless steel worktop. Pizza shops typically buy pizza prep tables; sandwich shops, delis, and salad bars buy sandwich prep tables. Pizzerias that also run a sandwich menu often choose a wider pizza prep table that accommodates both.

What size pizza prep table do I need (44, 60, 67, 93, or 119 inches)?

Match width to pizza-line throughput and topping variety. A 44 to 48 inch unit suits small pizzerias, single-station food trucks, and pizza counters running a focused menu with 6 pans of toppings. A 60 to 67 inch unit suits mid-volume pizzerias with 8 to 9 pans and a broader topping menu. A 72 to 93 inch unit suits high-volume pizza shops and full-service restaurants running 12 pans of toppings across multiple pizza styles. A 119 inch unit covers a full chain-style pizza line in a single cabinet, with 15 pans and 4 refrigerated sections. For pizzerias running cold-fermented dough, choose a unit with extra cabinet depth or a dedicated dough retarder section.
