- Cons: Lacks the authentic weight and feel of a solid piece of timber.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View in Swansea was struggling with their old wooden serving boards, which were cracking and absorbing stains, looking unprofessional after just a few months. They needed a more durable, hygienic, and stylish alternative that could withstand their busy seaside service.
"We switched to the APS oak effect boards six months ago and the difference is night and day. They look just as good as the real thing, but we just throw them in the dishwasher. No more sanding, oiling, or splitting. Our presentation is consistently excellent, and the staff love how easy they are to handle."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The switch completely eliminated their quarterly budget for replacing serving-ware, saving them hundreds of pounds and countless hours in staff labour.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give the board a good wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- Check it over upon arrival to ensure it's in perfect condition.
- It's ready to go straight out of the box—no seasoning or oiling required!
Keeping It Going
- This board is fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
- To prolong the life of the surface, avoid using it as a cutting board with serrated pizza wheels.
- Stack them neatly when storing to save space and protect the surfaces.
- Wipe away any heavy sauces before washing to prevent potential discolouration over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this board made from real oak?
A: No, it's made from a highly durable, wood-effect composite material designed to look like oak but offer superior performance and hygiene.
Q: Can I use a pizza cutter directly on the board?
A: While the surface is scratch-resistant, we recommend slicing pizzas before plating them on the board to keep it looking its best for years.
Q: Is it safe to put in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. It's designed specifically for the high temperatures and intensity of commercial dishwashing cycles.
Q: Can this board go into a pizza oven?
A: No, this is a serving board for presentation only. It is not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of a pizza oven.
Q: How heavy is it compared to a wooden board?
A: At under 1kg, it's typically lighter than a solid oak board of the same size, making it easier for staff to carry.
Q: Will dark sauces like balsamic glaze or tomato stain it?
A: The non-porous surface is highly resistant to staining, especially when cleaned promptly after use.
Q: Does the handle provide a good grip?
A: Yes, the handle is integrated into the board's design, providing a secure and comfortable grip for serving.
Q: What is the diameter in inches?
A: The diameter is 300mm, which is approximately 12 inches, a standard size for large pizzas.
The APS Advantage: Presentation That Lasts
Choosing APS tableware is an investment in consistency and operational intelligence. For over 85 years, this German brand has been a trusted partner to the hospitality industry, engineering products that don't just look good, but solve real-world kitchen problems. This oak effect pizza serving platter is a prime example. Beyond its good looks, it represents a lower total cost of ownership. You'll spend less on replacements thanks to its chip-resistant and unbreakable nature, and you’ll save countless hours in labour by eliminating the need for hand-washing and maintenance associated with real wood. This consistency also extends to your brand image; every customer gets the same flawless presentation, every time. For a busy restaurant, that level of reliability and food-safe hygiene is not just a feature—it's the foundation of a smooth, profitable service.
Explore more from APSWhy 'Virtually Unbreakable' Matters in Your Kitchen
What does 'virtually unbreakable' actually mean for your business? It’s all about the clever composite material. Unlike traditional wood, which can split along the grain, or ceramics that shatter when dropped, this board is engineered for resilience. The material has a slight flex and is incredibly dense, allowing it to absorb impacts that would destroy other types of serving ware.
Think of it like the difference between a glass plate and a modern Corelle plate. One drop on a hard kitchen floor and the glass plate is a goner, creating a safety hazard and an instant cost. This APS handled pizza board 300mm, however, will likely just bounce. This feature means fewer accidents, lower replacement costs, and a safer environment for your busy staff—a huge relief during a hectic dinner rush.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pizzerias & Italian Restaurants: Perfect for serving pizzas and antipasti with a rustic look that won't warp or stain.
- Gastropubs & Bars: A stylish and durable choice for serving gourmet burgers, sharing platters, and flatbreads.
- Hotels & Event Caterers: Its unbreakable and lightweight nature makes it ideal for room service, buffets, and off-site events.
- Modern Cafes & Bistros: An excellent way to present sandwiches, cakes, or cheese boards with a touch of class.
