Conforming to the spec can make you a loser. 😟“I need a pizza oven, and it must fit in this space” is a common theme we hear when speaking to our industry, and we get it, we really do!

Happy New Year pizza people! 🔥🍕✨ We are kicking 2024 with a bang - our latest video is here!
LLK's demo kitchen has played a huge part in delivering a buying experience like no other!
We are super psyched to introduce to the UK market the highly anticipated Cuppone Giorgione gas pizza oven.
Reflecting on 2020 has actually made us surprisingly proud. Proud of our industry, our team and most importantly our customers. ‘Challenging’, ‘unprecedented’, ‘heart-breaking’… just a few words that could summarise 2020 in general, but our word of choice is most certainly proud.
Thanks to an amazing team effort and 107 deeelicous pizzas, Team LLK managed to raise a whopping £700 to help the pups of Pennine Pen!
On Thursday 15th October, LLK will be transforming into a pop up pizza takeaway to help raise 'dough' for our neighbours at Pennine Pen Animal Sanctuary!
Pizza and pasta are a match made in Italian cuisine heaven. Sumptuous pasta accompanied by a stone baked slice? Bellissimo! That’s why the pizza pros here at LLK are VERY excited to share the news that we are launching our own range of…(drumroll please)… LLK Pasta Equipment!
Items of catering equipment such as mixers are an investment and, now more than ever, savvy caterers need to get their buying decision bang on so they can derive value out of every penny.
Since the 4th July, food service heroes all over the country have been bravely getting back to what you do best- providing delicious dishes with a side of service with a smile!
The coronavirus crisis has presented the hospitality and catering industry with its biggest test to date. However, the UK’s unwavering love of good food and downright refusal to live without their favourite dishes has provided caterers with an opportunity; to reinvent their operations into a social distancing-compliant takeaway.
Your stock may be precious to you but, sometimes, you just need some space! Unfortunately, often when people put their stock out of sight, they fail to remember to put in the necessary precautions to ensure that everything is still in one piece, or even still there, once it’s returned to!
Along with the rest of the planet, the food service and hospitality world has changed dramatically in the past few months. Catering businesses have been forced to switch from service with a smile to no contact take away and home delivery operations in order to ensure the safety of customers while still providing them with their indispensable eats.
Our world-renowned pizza equipment manufacturers, Cuppone, are bringing the second generation of their famous Cuppone Giotto pizza oven to the UK!
After the government’s announcement that hospitality businesses could be opening up on the 4th July, many restaurants, cafés, hotels and other catering businesses are going into high gear, putting all the necessary preparations for reopening in place.
The coronavirus pandemic has abruptly brought the hospitality and catering industry face to face with its biggest challenge yet.Many catering operations that enjoyed plenty of business and success prior to the lockdown are now left unable to function as they did before under social distancing regulations.
Where do we even begin? The past couple of weeks have been an emotional, physical (and all the other –al’s) roller coaster for everyone.
Your living flame dome oven was a huge investment and is undoubtedly the beating heart of your catering operation. It therefore goes without saying that it needs to be well looked after, with regular services and preventative maintenance, to ensure a long life with as little downtime as possible.
On the 24th March between 10:00am and 1pm, we are once again holding a free-to-attend ‘Engineer Training Day’ at our premises in Oldham on the outskirts of Manchester!
Have you had the same pizza offering for so long it’s even starting to make you yawn? Though classics like Margheritas and Meat Feasts have their place on a pizza menu, they aren’t exciting enough to maintain the buzz around your pizza operation.
Are you looking for a grill to cook the meat, cheese, veg or fish for your kebabs, yakitori or other dishes to succulent perfection? If so, you’re probably grappling with the steam vs. flame cooking conundrum.
With pizza’s sky-high popularity (and profits!), it’s no wonder so many are looking to start up their own pizza business. The pizza operations that go on to be great successes, however, are the ones powered by quality items of pizza equipment that meet the individual needs of the site.
Your slicers, mixers, heated presses and pizza rollers are the cogs that keep your restaurant, café, hotel or deli running smoothly and efficiently. Having to step in for a faulty machine by slicing, mixing or hand stretching your ingredients is sure to see productivity flagging and customers complaining.
Why would a professional foodservice operator solicit the services of an outsider to tell them how to do their job? Sometimes, when you’ve been doing something for so long, it becomes hard to see the wood for the trees and you can struggle spot your business’s strengths or equally its points for improvement.
Calling all catering equipment engineers! Kick off 2020 on track for professional development and personal achievement with our ‘Engineer Training Day’ held at LLK HQ in Oldham on the 15th January between 10:30am and 1pm.
The festive season is a time to be celebrated by your catering business; an inundation of merry revellers more than happy to part with their cash in the name of good cheer. The steep rise in demand, however, runs the danger of overburdening your ovens, slicers, mixers and heated presses.
Have you ever envisioned yourself as the proud owner of a thriving pizza operation? Or do you already own a catering operation but are considering boosting your profits with a pizza offering?
ast week, Team LLK were on tour once again- this time to 2019’s National Pizza Awards!

The excitement is palpable at LLK HQ- the liquids are separated, the suitcases are squished shut and our fingers are itching towards our passports. This weekend, Natalie, Kyle, Cat, Will and Ian are taking to the skies to attend the hospitality event of the year, HOST Milano 2019!
Following the retirement of our founder, Linda Lewis, LLK is striding into the future, with a bold re-brand and full website overhaul. Since LLK started in 2006, just over 13 years ago, we have been known for importing quality pizza and catering equipment to the UK.
As a recent study revealed the unfortunate news that 60% of restaurants fail within the first year- here at LLK, we are working to improve this shocking statistic. We consider ourselves the pizza professionals in our industry who are equipped with all the knowledge needed to run a successful restaurant.
LLK is delighted to announce that we are once again a headline sponsor at this year’s H20 National Pizza Awards. This competitive event is held annually at the Iron Works in Islington, London as the place to be to showcase your pizza talent and be in the chance to win some serious dough, £1,000 to be exact.
Our Cuppone Heated Press is one of our most popular items of catering equipment and with very good reason- the Press flattens doughballs to consistently perfect shapes in seconds, taking over the arduous task of hand stretching from busy chefs without ever calling in sick.
The sun is FINALLY shining and just in time for outdoor event season to get well and truly underway! Whether it’s food, drink, music or family oriented, there’s an event to be attended almost every weekend of the summer.
Food waste is a BIG topic right now- according to Wrap, the food sector produces 0.4 million tonnes of avoidable food waste per annum. This waste has a significant negative effect on our environment as it emits harmful greenhouse gases and speeds up global warming.
