Pizza & Sandwich Prep Fridge Buying Guide
Pizza & Sandwich Prep Fridge Buying Guide
Pizza or sandwich prep, granite or stainless — how to choose a refrigerated prep station that fits your line.
Not sure which suits you? Call us on 03 9783 6325.
A prep fridge is two things in one: refrigerated storage below, and a chilled ingredient rail on top where you build pizzas, sandwiches or salads without walking to the fridge. Buy the right one and a whole prep station lives in a single footprint; buy the wrong one and your toppings sit warm or your board's too small.
Every figure here is from our own range.
Pizza prep or sandwich/salad prep?
- Pizza prep table — a deeper unit with a raised rail of gastronorm pans for toppings and a generous bench (often granite) in front to stretch and build bases. Deeper cabinet, bigger refrigerated base. Our pizza prep tables are 2 and 3 door, up to ~2050mm long.
- Sandwich / salad prep — a shallower counter with the topping rail and a cutting board, built for making sandwiches, rolls and salads to order. Tighter footprint.
If you build pizzas, you want the pizza prep depth and bench; for a sandwich bar or salad line, the shallower prep counter suits better.
Granite or stainless top?
- Granite — the traditional pizza bench: it stays cool, doesn't stick, and gives a premium surface to work dough on. Our granite prep fridges pair with a VRX servery.
- Stainless — hard-wearing, hygienic, easy to sanitise, and the standard for sandwich and salad prep.
The VRX servery
Several models pair the refrigerated base with a VRX servery — a glass-topped, chilled topping display that keeps ingredients cold and visible (and guarded) while you build. It comes in 1200mm to 2000mm counter-top lengths, glass-top or stainless-lid. If you want the topping rail on show to customers as well as chilled, this is the range.

What to look for
- Pan configuration — how many and what size gastronorm pans the top rail holds; it sets how many toppings you can have to hand.
- Board depth — enough bench in front to actually work on, especially for pizza.
- Cabinet temperature — the base holds chilled backup stock; the rail keeps the working ingredients cold and safe.
- Castors — many prep fridges roll for cleaning behind and around.
- Ventilation — like any refrigeration, give it air and keep it off the cook line's heat.
