Polar U-Series Double Door Pizza Counter Granite Top & Dough Drawers 290Ltr

The Polar U-Series pizza prep counter is a refrigerated service unit built specifically for pizza and pasta operations. It combines a double-door refrigerated cabinet with a set of refrigerated dough drawers beneath the worktop, all topped with a granite surface — a practical choice for dough prep, since granite retains a cool temperature that helps keep dough workable during service.

In a working pizzeria or Italian kitchen section, this unit is designed to keep pace with continuous demand. The refrigerated drawers hold portioned dough balls or pre-weighed dough at a consistent working temperature, reducing the number of trips to a back-of-house fridge and keeping your prep station self-contained. The double-door cabinet below provides additional chilled storage for toppings, sauces, and ingredients, which helps maintain an efficient workflow during peak covers. The R600a refrigerant system carries a low global warming potential, and the unit holds a B energy rating, which is worth considering when running costs are part of the decision.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Granite worktop stays naturally cool, supporting dough handling directly on the surface
• Refrigerated drawers keep dough portions accessible without opening main cabinet doors
• Stainless steel construction throughout is robust and straightforward to clean down between services
• Climate Class 5 rating means the unit is suited to warmer or more humid kitchen environments
• Self-contained design reduces movement between prep and storage during a busy service

At 362kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will require a level, reinforced floor position. The footprint is wide — suitable for an established pizza station with adequate run of worktop space. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed prior to installation, and the unit should be positioned with sufficient clearance at the rear for ventilation. It is not suited to occasional-use or small-footprint kitchens where counter space is limited.

This counter is well suited to dedicated pizza restaurants, Italian concepts, and any operation running a high volume of freshly made pizza where dough handling and topping access need to be managed efficiently from a single station. For operations with lower throughput or tighter space constraints, a smaller single-door prep counter may be more appropriate. Equally, very high-volume operations running multiple pizza stations may want to consider a heavier-duty or wider configuration.
