Commercial Pizza Oven Cleaning Services in Cape Town
If your pizza oven is smoking more than usual, not holding temperature properly, or giving your crusts a strange aftertaste — it might be time for a proper deep clean. Commercial pizza ovens are workhorses, and they build up grease, carbon, ash, and soot faster than most kitchen equipment.
At The Chimney Sweepers, we offer professional pizza oven cleaning services across Cape Town for restaurants, pizzerias, hotels, and mobile kitchens. We don’t just wipe down the surface — we remove carbon buildup, clean exhausts, and restore performance without interrupting your kitchen’s rhythm.

Why Deep Oven Cleaning Is Critical for Performance
Improves oven heat consistency
Carbon and grease buildup create hot and cold spots, affecting your cooking times and consistency — especially with fast bakes like Neapolitan pies.
Reduces health and safety risks
Old food particles, grease, and ash are a fire hazard and a health code red flag. We help you stay compliant and inspection-ready.
Prevents mechanical breakdowns
Fans, thermostats, and burners work harder when airflow is restricted. Routine cleaning keeps everything running smoothly and extends equipment lifespan.
