How to open a pizzeria

1
Find a room with good traffic. From the technical aspects, focus on the possibility of installing a large wood-burning stove. This oven will be the "heart" of your pizzeria. Zon the room, dividing into a hall, a kitchen, utility rooms and an office. Make a project plan and a full specification of furniture and necessary equipment.
2
Invite the chef. When hiring a specialist, pay special attention to places of previous work. Ideally, your chef should be Italian - the bearer of the culinary traditions of the region, or at least reside in Italy for a long time. If you cannot attract such a chef, look for an applicant with good experience in Russian institutions of a similar format. Do not save on the costs necessary to attract - the success of your future pizzeria depends more on the chef.

Design recipes. As a rule, traditional types of pizza in Russian pizzerias are adjacent to the author's. Which side the advantage will be (and whether it will) is up to you. Of traditional pizzas, the menu should include such types as Margarita - with mozzarella and tomatoes; "Four cheeses" - with mozzarella, parmesan and two soft traditional cheeses; "Prosciutto" - with ham. Pizza with porcini mushrooms, pizza with sardines and vegetarian pizza can also be added to the menu. All other dishes are also at your discretion. In addition to pizza, pizzerias often offer pastas and light salads.

Consider an assortment of cold and hot drinks. Also make a bar sheet. The classic accompaniment to pizza is wine. But our guests are happy to drink vodka. The coffee card of the establishment can be small: espresso, cappuccino, ristretto and americano are quite enough. Add to this list two or three types of tea: black, green and fruit. It will turn out quite a worthy menu to open a good pizzeria.
5
Decorate the pizzeria hall with a predominance of classic Italian motifs, you can even ethnically. Do not overdo it with details, they distract from the main thing - the virtuoso mastery of pizza. He will twist the dough until it becomes so thin that without the help of a rolling pin it will be possible to make the basis for your main dish - excellent Italian pizza baked in a wood-fired oven.
note
Pizza cooked in a gas oven or even a combi steamer is a profanity. Without a wood stove you will not get a quality product.
Useful advice
When choosing flour, pay attention to the time that will be spent on proofing the dough. Strong gluten flour requires a longer duration of this step.
