The XL Premium 9-pizza pizza oven is the reference format for high-volume pizzerias (70-100 covers) that will not sacrifice baking quality to pace. With its refractory stone vault and sole at 13.2 kW 3-phase, it produces 9 pizzas per batch with the visual result of a real professional pizzeria: golden, crisp sole, melted and coloured cheese, toppings cooked through by direct radiation. The standard XL9 (sole only) produces the same quantity of pizzas but with less complete baking from above.
9 Premium pizzas: the vault at this scale
At 9 pizzas per batch, the refractory vault covers a sole surface of 1360 × 1320 mm. The radiant surface is large — pizzas near the edges receive as much heat as those in the centre, thanks to a vault sized to cover the whole sole. It is an advantage that small Premium ovens (4 or 6 pizzas) do not always have: at large surface, radiant homogeneity is even more critical so that the 9 pizzas of a single batch are identical on the plate.
The 13.2 kW 3-phase power ensures fast heat recovery after each batch. Refractory stone sole and vault hold their working temperature even at a pace of 10 batches an hour. Over a 2-hour service, throughput reaches 90 to 108 pizzas an hour at cruise, i.e. 180 to 216 pizzas per service — more than enough for 100 covers with one pizza per cover.
XLP9 vs XLP9TR: how to choose?
The XLP9 (this model, €3,120) has a refractory stone vault and sole (standard top+sole). The XLP9TR (€3,730) is the full stone chamber version — refractory walls, vault and sole, maximum thermal mass. The €610 difference is justified by use: for 70-100 covers at a moderate to sustained pace (batches 3-5 min apart), the XLP9 is enough. For even more intensive service (100+ covers, back-to-back batches, Neapolitan at 450+°C), the XLP9TR holds its temperature better over the length of the service.
For which establishment
The XLP9 is the standard format for established pizzerias with 70 to 100 covers of capacity, a head pizzaiolo and a well-organised service rhythm. It is also the oven for full Italian restaurants that make pizza a main production (50% or more of the menu) and want Premium quality without the cost of the TR. The absence of a gas connection (electric 3-phase oven) is a structural advantage for premises with no gas.

What restaurateurs ask
- Do I need the XLP9 if I mainly make margherita?
- For lightly topped pizzas (margherita, four cheeses), the refractory vault adds less value than for loaded pizzas. If your menu is mostly margherita and simple pizzas, the sole-only XL9 (€2,520) may be enough. If you offer pizzas with vegetables, meats, rocket or thick toppings, the XLP9's vault makes a real, visible difference on the plate.
- What electrical power should I plan for 13.2 kW?
- At 13.2 kW on 3-phase 400V, allow a dedicated three-phase breaker of 3×25 A and a dedicated 3-phase cable from your board. Have the installation checked by a qualified electrician before commissioning.
- Does the refractory vault need regular cleaning?
- The refractory vault is self-cleaning in normal use: topping residue that falls onto the vault burns and carbonises at high temperature. A light clean with a soft wire brush after full cooling (every 15-20 services) is enough to keep the vault clean and the radiant performance optimal.
- Can an XLP9 be installed on a standard stand to raise it?
- Yes. The oven stands in our pizzeria accessories catalogue include models compatible with the XLP9 (1360 mm wide). Check the stand's maximum load (the XLP9 weighs about 77 kg) and its height so the working level suits the pizzaiolo's size.
