Mini pizzas to fall in love with: Fresh, crispy and irresistible

Pizza is one of the most popular foods overall. It is especially popular at parties. The only problem is that guests often have different tastes. Some people may not like certain toppings on the pizza. In this case, mini pizzas are an ideal solution.

As the name suggests, these are small pizzas. They usually range in size from three to eight centimeters and can be topped individually. This way, each participant gets exactly the pizza they like. With Stöckli’s PizzaGrills, you can prepare mini pizzas quickly and conveniently.

In the following, we will show you how this works. You will also learn which PizzaGrill models are available from us. First, however, we will explain what makes mini pizzas so special.

Why are mini pizzas so popular?

Mini pizzas allow each participant in a meal to choose exactly the toppings they like. Gone are the days when everyone had to share a whole pizza that some might not enjoy. For example, opinions are often divided on Hawaiian pizza. Some people like pineapple on pizza, while others can hardly imagine anything worse.

If you offer mini pizzas at a party, pineapple lovers can put the fruit on their small pizzas, while everyone else can choose other toppings.

Another advantage of small pizzas is that hosts don’t have to spend a long time preparing before the party. You only need to make and roll out the dough. Each participant can then cut out as many pieces as they want to eat.

Additionally, the toppings that will go on the mini pizzas should be prepared in advance. This might include grating cheese or cutting sausage and vegetables. Guests can also help with this task, which eases the host’s workload and sparks interesting conversations during the preparation phase.

When mini pizzas are prepared using a Stöckli PizzaGrill, they are cooked right at the table. Sociability is a key part of the experience. During pleasant conversations, each participant tops their small pizza according to their preferences. Then the pans are placed in the grill, and the pizzas are baked. Each guest decides when they want the next one.

Last but not least, mini pizzas are very popular because they make a convenient snack. If someone isn’t hungry enough for a whole slice of pizza, they can simply opt for the mini version.

How is it best to prepare mini pizzas?

The base for a good mini pizza is the dough. It consists of only a few ingredients and is therefore easy to make. In addition to flour and water, yeast and oil are needed. A little salt adds extra flavor to the dough. If you don’t have the time or desire to make the dough yourself, you can also buy pre-made dough.

Various toppings are then added to the dough. Many people especially enjoy tomato sauce on their pizza. Sauces that you would also use for pasta work very well. If someone doesn’t like tomato sauce, they can skip it on their mini pizza. The pizza can then be topped with, among other things:

• different types of cheese, such as Gouda, Mozzarella, and Feta
• various kinds of sausage, for example ham and salami
• different vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini
• slices of onion
• olives
• mushrooms
• fish and seafood

Even rather unusual ideas can be tried. For example, a raw egg can be placed on the dough. Thanks to the heat in the PizzaGrill, it cooks and gives the mini pizza an interesting touch.

The more ingredients you offer, the more variety your guests’ mini pizzas will have. They will enjoy experimenting and discovering the best combinations.

The PizzaGrills from Stöckli

The PizzaGrills from Stöckli are innovative combination appliances. They can be used not only to prepare mini pizzas but are also suitable for raclette and grilling. The package includes small pans in which the food is heated. A dough cutter is also included. With it, you can shape the dough pieces to be topped and baked perfectly.

The mini pizzas are heated from above in the PizzaGrill. The top heat is adjustable, so you can set the temperature at which the food is cooked. Additionally, bottom heat can be activated, expanding the cooking possibilities. The surface of the PizzaGrill can also be used to park the pans.

The PizzaGrill models from Stöckli mainly differ in terms of how many people can prepare food simultaneously. The following devices are available:

• PizzaGrill for8
• PizzaGrill for6
• PizzaGrill for4

The PizzaGrill for8 is ideal if you want to eat in a large group. The device is designed for up to eight people. On each side, there is space for four pans, so all participants have optimal access to their pans.

Six people can prepare their meals with the PizzaGrill for6. For a group of four, the PizzaGrill for4 is suitable. If more guests arrive spontaneously, it can be expanded with the end unit to provide four additional pan slots, allowing up to eight people to use the PizzaGrill.

The base unit and the end unit are connected by a 90-centimeter-long cable, allowing the two devices to be placed at some distance from each other. This enables flexible placement.

The right accessories for the PizzaGrills

With our PizzaGrills, you also receive various accessories that expand their functionality. For example, you can purchase a crêpe plate for each model. This allows you to make the popular crêpes. Sweet or savory, every taste is covered.

As an attractive addition to every PizzaGrill, we offer Hot’Stone grill plates. They are made of natural stone and are placed on the PizzaGrill. Besides their appealing appearance, they absorb and retain the grill’s heat. This keeps the items placed on them warmer for longer. Since the grill plates have a drip guard, your table surface stays clean.

A useful addition is also a silicone mat. The PizzaGrill is placed on it. Heat-resistant up to 180 degrees Celsius, it protects the table. After use, it can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.

If you need additional pans for your PizzaGrill, you will also find them in our shop. We offer not only the regular pans but also the XXL extra-high pans. These have a higher edge, allowing for taller toppings on the mini pizzas.

The double pan also expands your options. It features a higher edge and double the capacity.
